Former Minister of Information and senior member of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hon. Ibrahim Ben Kargbo, has come forward to strongly defend the legacy of the former APC government, insisting that it did not subject Sierra Leoneans to hardship during its decade in power.
Hon. Kargbo maintained that under APC rule, no journalist was ever arrested or sent to Pademba Road Prison, emphasizing the party’s respect for press freedom and democratic values.
Responding to questions on why the APC was voted out after ten years in power, Hon. Kargbo argued that the decision was not necessarily based on public frustration. Rather, he believes it was the natural desire of citizens to see new leadership after a long stretch of governance.
“There was no austerity until Ebola hit,” he explained. “At one point, we were declared the fastest-growing economy in the world. But the outbreak of Ebola destroyed that progress. It shattered the entire country and forced us to declare an austerity, which was never hidden from the public.”
He added that unlike others, the APC does not pretend when faced with national challenges. “When we have difficulty, we say it out. We don’t pretend like everything is okay,” he said.
His remarks come at a time when discussions about governance, economic hardship, and legacy continue to dominate national discourse as Sierra Leone navigates its path toward recovery and development.
True talk sir, but we are still experiencing some fools who don’t want to hear that, Allah shall one day punish all of the bad politicians in that country,Aamen.
Freedom and justice was prevailed and there was a rule of law, no economic hardship during the APC but this current government haaaaa haaaaa 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The Masses know it All!
The figures are out there!
They know what they are!
They know what they want!
They have the Will to make!
They have the fist to break!
They know it’s theirs to take!
So why the debate folks!
Kortor IB use of change of leadership fallacious. APC had a fool flagbearer who contested the 2018 election and was flatly defeated. Then came 2023, again the APC was defeated. All because the people of Salone knows the difference of governance between the rogue APC party and the progressive SLPP party
The people wanted a complete change of leadership and party.
The APC government was already in the Red zone b4 ebola and the mudslide. There was a total breakdown of governance, Inflation, economy, education, agriculture etc
