Ghanaian actor cum politician, and farmer, John Dumelo, has noted that he aims to accrue vast wealth from his farming activities and not politics.

Some Ghanaians are of the notion that individuals venture into politics in order to make huge sums of money.

According to Mr Dumelo, he does not work with such a notion as "I am getting into Parliament to serve my people."

Mr Dumelo is eyeing the Ayawaso West Wuogon seat once again on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In an interview on TV3 on Monday night, August 14, he indicated that he aspires to one day make a million dollars.

However, that will not come from his activities as a politician, but as a farmer instead.

"I've dreamt of making a million dollars through farming, but not through politics. Not at all," he told host of Ghana Tonight, Alfred Ocansey.

Dumelo's agriculture journey started in 2012. Currently, he owns more than 2000 acres of farmlands scattered across Ghana, producing maize, rice, ginger, mushrooms, cabbage and rearing snails and livestock.
