‘You were my best friend and gossip partner’ – Watch Dumelo’s emotional tribute to late dad
It was an emotional moment on the morning of Saturday, March 8, as John Dumelo, Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West-Wuogon, read out a short tribute for his late father.
Being the funeral of his late dad, who he affectionately referred to as ‘Mr D,’ the MP started off by describing the difficulty he had writing his tribute.
“How do I start, but I have to. I think I was the last person to write my tribute because I couldn’t believe you are no longer here with us in flesh,” he said.
And with his voice telling the heaviness of his emotions, John continued: “I’ll try and keep it short because our time spent as father and son would probably require a whole book.
“Mr. D, you were my best friend, my gossip partner and my support system. You raised us to be humble, truthful, and not to be judgmental. Thank you for those attributs.”
John Dumelo’s late father, John William Kudzo Anoto-Dumelo Snr, died at the age of 75.
The MP and former actor made the announcement via a Facebook post in early January 2025, stating, “You has a good life at 75 years old. You contacted me multiple times yesterday asking me to come visit you. We talked extensively about politics, life, farming, business, and of course, gossip while we sat on the bed.”
It is worth noting too that John Dumelo lost his mother in August 2023.
