Despite his age, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, the Chairman of Group Nduom (GN), led a peaceful two-kilometre march on a sunny Monday afternoon to demonstrate at Elmina, advocating the reinstatement of GN Bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dr Nduom\u2019s GN Bank was affected when the government, in 2017, restructured the banking sector, leading to the establishment of the Consolidated Bank of Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n The march started from the Elmina Castle bridge, where Dr Nduom said: \u201cI want them to understand that we, the people of Elmina, are resilient and unwavering.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe refuse to succumb to fear, and we will never give up. Whether they grant us the license or not, GN Bank will resurface after the election as promised. The bank will resume operations from Elmina, where it all began.\u201d During the procession, they intermittently poured libation at sacred intersections to appeal to the 77 deities of the ancestral land for victory against what they perceived as \u201cmalice and persecution.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Surprisingly, the demonstrators were joined by enthusiastic people adorned in the colours of the New Patriotic Party, National Democratic Congress, and the Progressive People\u2019s Party.<\/p>\n The move signified their enduring admiration for Dr Nduom as a man of integrity who genuinely assisted individuals, irrespective of their political affiliations.\u00a0 He argued that the supportive business environment for local enterprises in Ghana had been sacrificed for political advantage, highlighting that America would not prosper if it adopted the same political practices as Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n He urged Ghanaians to vote judiciously in the upcoming elections, encouraging them to endorse leaders committed to safeguarding and advancing indigenous businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe future of Ghana hinges on the vitality of our local industries and enterprises; let us select leaders who will uplift, not dismantle, our indigenous businesses,\u201d he advised.\u00a0<\/p>\n Watch some videos from the Special Voting below:<\/b><\/p>\n![\"Chairman](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/828\/82849100.295.jpg\" "\\"Chairman")

\nThe march was largely patronised by former employees of the bank, customers, and residents carrying lanterns and symbolic machetes to firm their determination.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nDr Nduom expressed deep sorrow over the collapse of his businesses, particularly the defunct GN Bank, and accused the current government of intentionally dismantling his enterprises due to political differences, disregarding the socio-economic repercussions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
