You are not in the movie industry; try to be as serious as you can – Habib Iddrisu tells John Dumelo

Habib Iddrisu [L] and John Dumelo

Habib Iddrisu, the first Deputy Minority Whip, has counseled John Dumelo, the Deputy Minister-designate for Food and Agriculture, to focus on assisting the Minister for Agriculture and to take his new position seriously.

During Dumelo’s Tuesday, February 25 vetting in Parliament, Habib Iddrisu warned the nominee not to take his political career lightly because “you are not in your movie industry.”

The nominee should approach his responsibilities with professionalism and care, he advised.

“If you go to the Ministry, try to assist your Minister. The Ministry is huge, and you should not try to jump the gun. And also note that when you go to the Ministry, you are not in your movie industry as you are. Try to be as serious as you can so that you can be able to assist your Minister to succeed,” Mr Iddrisu advised.

As the nominee for the post of Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, the lawmaker from Ayawaso West Wuogon would have to help advance Ghana’s agricultural industry.

Before this, the Deputy Minister-designate said he wanted to encourage Ghanaians to follow their dreams and succeed in their chosen industries.

“I want to inspire people to be able to follow their passion, follow what they want to do, and do it and do it well,” Mr Dumelo stated.

‘When you go to the ministry, know that you are not in your movie industry. Try to be as serious as you can.’ – Habib Iddrisu’s parting words to John Dumelo during his vetting.
