Dr. Ibrahim Bangura Engages Border Communities in Jendema

Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, leader of the DIB Movement and a flagbearer aspirant of the All Peoples Congress (APC), has continued his grassroots outreach with a strategic visit to Jendema, a key border town linking Sierra Leone and Liberia.

During the visit, Dr. Bangura and his delegation engaged with local stakeholders, including traditional authorities led by Paramount Chief Mustapha Jenje Massaquoi III of Sorogbema Chiefdom. The meeting also brought together sub-chiefs and community representatives, providing a platform for dialogue on issues affecting the border region.

Discussions centered on community development priorities, with emphasis on improving local infrastructure, enhancing economic opportunities, and addressing cross-border challenges. Participants also highlighted the importance of strengthening cooperation between neighboring communities in Sierra Leone and Liberia, particularly in areas such as trade, security, and cultural exchange.

Traditional leaders underscored their role in promoting peace, unity, and stability within their jurisdictions. They called for continued engagement between political actors and local authorities to ensure that community voices are reflected in national decision-making processes.

Dr. Bangura, in his remarks, acknowledged the strategic importance of border communities like Jendema in national development. He emphasized the need for inclusive governance and sustained collaboration with traditional leaders to address local concerns and foster citizen participation.

The visit forms part of a broader outreach effort by Dr. Bangura as he seeks to build support ahead of the APC’s internal processes. Observers note that such engagements highlight the increasing focus on grassroots mobilization and the role of local leadership in shaping political discourse across the country.

Jendema’s position as a major crossing point continues to make it a vital hub for trade and interaction between Sierra Leone and Liberia, reinforcing its relevance in both economic and political conversations.
