The Founder and President of Group Nduom, Papa Kwesi Nduom, says that the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, must be appreciated for his positive contributions during his tenure as President.
According to Mr Nduom, the former president, who is now seeking re-election, made significant strides in job creation for Ghanaians while in office.
He emphasised that although John Mahama is his political opponent, he has never sought to undermine his businesses.
"In fact, Mahama has recognised and praised Group Nduom’s efforts in contributing to the nation’s employment levels"he said.
“He [John Mahama] publicly acknowledged, even in a speech, that Group Nduom, meaning myself, has been providing jobs and investing in creating employment in this country,” Papa Kwesi said.
He added, “And if someone has done something I appreciate, I will say so.”
His statement came in response to recent criticisms suggesting that he is campaigning for the NDC and John Mahama.
Papa Kwesi clarified this during a Facebook broadcast on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, he stressed that his comments were not an endorsement of partisan politics but rather an appreciation of the good work done by Mahama.
He further highlighted the negative impact of the collapse of GN Bank and other subsidiaries of his business group, which resulted in the loss of approximately 6,000 direct jobs.
In the video, Papa Kwesi expressed his frustration with the actions of the Nana Addo government and the Ministry of Finance, blaming them for the collapse of his business empire.
He also accused Charles Adu Boahen, the former Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, of spreading "lies" that led to the revocation of GN Bank’s licence and its eventual collapse.
In 2017, Papa Kwesi Nduom’s GN Bank was one of several financial institutions affected by the banking sector reforms carried out by the Nana Addo government.
Since the bank’s closure, Nduom claims that thousands of jobs were lost and has repeatedly called on the government to release the locked funds for disbursement to the bank’s clients.
