He noted that he would never keep a government vehicle for any reason.
“ I will never keep a government car, first of all, I am not a government official so I will never keep a government car. I bought the car from somebody, I bought it,” he told Joy FM’s ‘Cosmolitan Mix’.
He added that: “Some people came and say hey, it’s a government car you have. I say to them keep it. What is a car!”
Mr Dumelo further explained that it was not a difficult decision to “let it go” because “it’s just car” which he could have lost in an “accident or anything”.
“In 2010 I bought a car; in 2011 I bought another one; in 2013 [and] 2015 I bought another, so it’s something that I can afford,” he stated.
Touching on the A1 bread incident, the 33-year-old also he did set out to mock the bread seller. According to him, he was only asking a simple question.
“Why will I mock a bread seller. Social media just misrepresented the whole thing. Why would I go and laugh at somebody who is selling bread on the streets? They just twisted it,” he said.
John Dumelo is the first Ghanaian citizen to hit a million likes on Facebook on April 1, 2014.
