In a recent declaration ceremony, Charles Francis Margai, the Founder and Presidential Candidate for the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), issued a stern warning to the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP).
Margai, during his address at the event organized by Sierra Leone’s main opposition party, the All People’s Congress (APC), cautioned that the SLPP’s desperation could potentially lead the country into violence.
“SLPP is desperate and they will not mind leading the country into violence. But, if they start a fight, they will live to regret it,” Margai asserted.
Drawing from his experience as the former Attorney General and Minister of Justice under the SLPP-led government in 2018, he emphasized that any potential conflict would not arise in the Northwest region but rather in the Southeast. Consequently, Margai pledged to spearhead the APC’s campaign efforts in that region.
“The fight will not be in the Northwest. The fight will be in the Southeast, and that is why I will lead the campaign in the Southeast,” Margai declared.
He further highlighted the historical role of his party, stating, “In 2007, it was PMDC that brought APC to power. In 2018, it was PMDC that brought SLPP to power. In 2023, we have decided to bring APC back to power.”
Margai also revealed that seven political parties would be declaring their support for the APC, further strengthening the opposition’s position in the upcoming election.
Meanwhile, Chief Somanor Kapen, the former Chairman and Leader of the SLPP, not only declared his support for the APC but also officially joined their ranks during Margai’s declaration.
Chief Kapen expressed his belief that the 2023 election would bring surprises and urged his supporters to redouble their efforts.
“This election will bring surprises. I am not saying this to invoke complacency. If you have been working hard, now you should work harder,” Chief Kapen stated.
Drawing parallels with historical events, he predicted that “history will repeat itself” and invoked the year 1967, hinting at a significant political shift akin to that time.
Chief Kapen concluded his declaration by metaphorically stating, “We are riders in the desert. We are caravans. Nobody goes to the desert alone; it is suicidal.”
The declarations made by Charles Francis Margai and Chief Somanor Kapen have generated considerable attention and anticipation as Sierra Leone approaches the 2023 election. The political landscape in the country appears to be shifting, setting the stage for a potentially intense and closely contested electoral contest.
Charles Margai is just an old shameless fool. APC does not trust you and you fooling yourself. You don’t have any support base this is not 2007 remember. You are just a useless old fool.
This is just an example of a disservice to this nation by someone who much has been given and is now about to draw this nation into disrepute. How popular is Ngo Margai in the south by this insinuation? Well, history is back into play and is revealing, we hope not in the negative form for Ngo Margai
Charles Margai is on his right footing he doing what is best for sierra leone. We are not ready to again to the wrong direction.
Charles Margai is an idiot, disgrace shameless to the highest degree in humanity. Even your whole generations in the Margai descendants have denied you for the shameful things you are doing to yourself.
Our people are no longer stupid as before in 2007. Charles Margai you are like a toilet flies in finding somewhere to sit in a king’s palace. Anyway Charles Margai, your people said they won’t follow your decision you have taken. Shame on you. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣.
Mind your words please.this are the same people that bring violence to our beloved nation and if SLPP think they would win this election by violence, they would surely regret it.
