Agradaa Weighs In On Joselyn Dumas's Appointment, Asks Ghanaians To Shut Up

• President John Mahama recently appointed popular Ghanaian actress Joselyn Dumas as the Deputy Director for Diaspora Affairs
• Her appointment triggered an uproar from NDC sympathisers who claimed she did not do any work to merit her latest appointment
• Evangelist Mama Pat has also expressed her views on the matter and explained why Joselyn Dumas was deserving of the new role

Ghanaian televangelist, Mama Pat, has reacted to the appointment of Joselyn Dumas by President John Dramani Mahama.

The preacher known as Agradaa was unhappy with Ghanaians who condemned the news and slammed them in a video.

In what many netizens described as the 'bitter truth', she argued that Ghanaians could not dictate to the President when it comes to who to appoint for a role.

She further stated that campaigning for a political party was not a guarantee and should not be a benchmark for appointing people to serve in a government.

According to Mama Pat, an individual may campaign vigorously for a political party but not be appointed because they did not use the right channel to seek a role.

Additionally, she stated that such persons may also lack the required qualifications or skills for a specific position and therefore would not receive an appointment.

Addressing Joselyn Dumas' situation, Agradaa asked Ghanaians to 'shut up' since they were not there when the star actress or her parents were praying to God.
