Ghanaian actor and politician, John Dumelo, is quite literally walking the talk.
Ahead of the NSMQ 2023 finals, Mr. Dumelo promised that he would walk "backward barefoot from the UG main gate to Presec main gate."
I am a proud Achimotan but If presec wins the #NSMQ2023 on the 31st I will walk barefoot backwards from Ayawaso West Wuogon to presec school! They can’t win over Motown! Presec? Tweeeaa!!!

Unfortunately for the Achimota Old Student, Presec-Legon secured their 8th title by the close of Monday, October 31.

After this victory, many social media users wondered if John would stay true to his word and eat his words.

On Tuesday afternoon, the actor showed up at the University of Ghana’s main gate to carry out his proverbial promise.

He walked the nearly 2-kilometer stretch from the university’s main gate to Presec-Legon in full view of the public.
He ended at the forecourt of the school's administration block where some school heads and pressmen had gathered to witness the conclusion of his journey.
