2023 Elections: APC’s Presidential Running-Mate Faces Alleged Roadblocks And Violence in Kenema District
The 2023 Presidential running-mate of the main opposition All Peoples Congress (APC), Hon. Chernor Ramadan Maju Bah otherwise known as Chericoco has disclosed that he and his entourage were, this week Prevented to have unhindered access to some areas and chiefdoms within the Kenema District to continue with their ongoing campaign trail across the country for the upcoming June 24 general elections, following a reported stand-off between them and some supporters of the ruling Sierra Leone Peoples’ Party (SLPP) along Hanga Road in Kenema City and other parts within that district.
According to Hon Chernor Bah his convoy was blocked by some personnel of the Sierra Leone Police (SLP) and diverted to another route on the official day of campaigning for the APC in that part of the country, according to the 2023 campaign timetable released by the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL).
Speaking to supporters during the standoff, the APC 2023 presidential running-mate noted that he had alerted the hierarchy of the SLP about this latest ugly incident in Kenema District, adding that the said incident has caused panic and fear among members and supporters of the APC as, according to him, SLPP thugs are allegedly using all kinds of dangerous weapons to attack APC supporters.
However, Chericoco disclosed that they were unable to carry on their campaigners because they were supposed to have access to all the areas and communities within the entire Kenema Districts.
Let him tell us if they need the mende people now. Let him openly condemn the act of those who were abusing the mende people. If not, we don’t need them in our land.
Chericco they should have been killing you, because the last time you said without the South East you are going to Win 2023 Election. What are you doing there again to campaign.
Samura and Adebayor said that the South easterners are not important to the winning of the election for the APC but now they are going there to campaign to the people for what?
Let Chricoco stop crying wolf…
