Actor and politician John Dumelo fulfilled his a unique promise he made in the wake of Presbyterian Boys Secondary School, Presec Legon’s victory in the 2023 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).
Following Presec Legon’s triumph at the latest NSMQ edition, securing their eighth NSMQ trophy and a consecutive win, John Dumelo, an alumnus of Achimota School, had announced his unusual pledge on October 22. He vowed that if Presec emerged victorious over Achimota Senior High School, he would walk barefoot from Ayawaso West Wuogon to the Presec premises.
In response to the growing calls from social media users, John Dumelo took to Twitter to confirm his unwavering commitment to his promise. In his tweet, he stated, “I am a man of my words. I will be walking backwards barefoot from the University of Ghana main gate to the Presec main gate tomorrow, 31st Oct at 4 pm.”
Dumelo’s tweet continued, “I want to congratulate Presec for winning the #NSMQGrandFinale. I am wholeheartedly proud of my Achimota school and also OWASS. I will walk the talk.”
The promise and subsequent confirmation by John Dumelo have generated considerable attention and anticipation for this unconventional journey, which is scheduled to take place on October 31, 2023, at 4 pm.
