Former and leading presidential candidate of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Samura Kamara has extolled former president of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma on his birthday.

On a post shared on social media earlier today, Samura Kamara stated that the legacy of the former president meant so much to Sierra Leone, and he should not stop fighting for what he believes in.

“Your Presidency ‘Ernest Bai Koroma’ meant so much to our great nation with so much positive impact on our people. Don’t stop fighting for what you believe in! Thank you for your service to our country, and happy birthday!” Kamara stated.

It could be recalled that in 2017, former President Koroma made an unilateral decision to choose Samura Kamara, who was then the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as his successor and presidential candidate of APC in the 2018 general elections. Kamara however went on to lose the election on the second round of voting to current president, Julius Maada Bio.
