John Dumelo snubbed Accra Aca, picks PRESEC
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported on John Dumelo’s support for PRESEC-Legon ahead of the 2026 NSMQ grand finale. The actor and Ayawaso West Wuogon MP openly dismissed Accra Academy’s chances despite the school’s historic first appearance in the final.
Dumelo’s comments have added fresh tension to a contest involving PRESEC-Legon, St Augustine’s College and Accra Academy. The result could see Accra Academy win the trophy on its debut or one of the established finalists strengthen its NSMQ legacy.
