Ghanaian actor cum politician, John Dumelo has pledged to fulfill his promise to walk barefoot after the Presbyterian Boys Secondary School, PRESEC Legon emerged victorious at the just-ended 2023 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).
According to the celebrated actor he would walk the talk today, at 4:00 PM.
It would be recalled that after the semi-final contest of the competition on October 22, Achimota Senior High School, Opoku Ware Senior High, and PRESEC, Legon all advanced to the grand finale. Mr. Dumelo, took to his X handle formerly Twitter, and stated categorically that he would walk barefoot backward to the premises of PRESEC, Legon if they win the ultimate.
“I am a proud Achimotan but If presec wins the #NSMQ2023 on the 31st I will walk barefoot backward from Ayawaso West Wuogon to presec school! They can’t win over Motown! Presec? Tweeaa!!!,” the post read.
The ‘Odade3 Boys’ fast forward defied all odds including John Dumelo’s challenge and emerged victorious on Monday, October 30 at the National Theater.
They achieved the feat by humbling Achimota School and Opoku Ware with score points of 40, 28, and 20 respectively to clinch their 8th championship title in a back-to-back triumph.
Social media users without hesitation went under John Dumelo’s earlier tweet and reminded him of his promises, hence the need to do due diligence on it.
The 2024 Parliamentary Candidate on the ticket of National Democratic Congress for Ayawaso Wuoguon says he is a man of his words and will therefore be fulfilling his promises today to let sleeping dog lie.
“I am a man of my words. I will be walking backward barefoot from the UG main gate to Presec main gate Tomorrow 31st Oct at 4pm,” he posted after Achimota failed to salvage the situation.
Despite the disappointment, Mr. Dumelo said, he was “wholeheartedly proud of my Achimota school and also OWASS. I will walk the talk. #idey4u.”
He seized the opportunity and congratulated the reigning NSMQ champions, Presec for annexing the year’s championship title to achieve an unprecedented feat.
“I want to congratulate Presec for winning the #NSMQGrandFinale,” he expressed.
