Senior member of Sierra Leone’s main opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Ady Macauley tagged reneged party member and Karene District Member of Parliament, Mohamed Bangura to have committed “a political sin that cannot be forgiven”.
Macauley’s outburst surfaced after Bangura defied the APC’s boycott and took Oath of Office on Thursday morning July 13 at the Well of Parliament.
He said Bangura acted selfishly -not for his electorates but rather to keep his friendship with President Julius Maada Bio ongoing.
“Two years ago, Mohamed Bangura told us on television that President Maada Bio was his personal friend and that he does receive, on occasions, monetary gifts from the President, albeit the party being under a Bio siege at the time,” Macauley said.
Bangura’s decision is said to have hampered the main opposition’s stance to boycott governance over June 24 election results disagreement with the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL).
Days after result for the presidential election was announced, the APC released a dossier signed by elected mayors, district chairpersons and parliamentarians to boycott their office.
Bangura was, however, the exception. He refused to sign the document citing that he will be going against his electorates.
Bangura’s decision of reasonable and sound.
I’m in support with Hon Mohamed Bangura for taking the oath of office shame on every elected MP that fails to take the oath of office as of today Thursday the 13th July 2023
My dear Lawyer Ady Macauley, your behavior doesn’t resemble someone who knew the constitution. Hon Mohamed Bangura is not selfish but indirectly all those in APC who took that decision are enemy of the Republic of sierra Leone. Therefore your attitude has shown clearly that you guys hate the development and peace in our country.
Ade Macaulay is shortsighted talking about Honorable Mohammed Bangura doing the right thing for mama Sa lone is sinful. APC marks man High way who was living in Kissy Samuel committed murders on the instructions of APC president in the eighties by assassinating prominent citizens was not a political sin okay Ade how do you as a lawyer label this kind of crime?
I’m against APC’s stance for not taking part in governance ,but Mohamed Bangura should not have boycotted his APC decision.
Ayaah Temne man nor de tok bot integrity wusei money de watch. If na Mende man ee nor go ever komot SLPP. Na Temne den get for destroy APC party.
Welcome Mr Bangura to Parliament and congratulations for your dedication to development of Sierra Leone.
I pay high respect for Hon. Mohamed Bangura he clearly shows that he’s a man of vision who believe in democracy and development but Mr Bangura has to be careful and watchful because APC are capable of doing anything
Congratulation to Mohamed bangura for taking the oath of office, going over the stance and decision of the APC party. This show that he is the true representative of his people. And that the spirit of nationalism and patriotism really display in him. May the almighty God help you execute your duties and responsibility for which you were elected by your supporters.
Don’t listen to any inciters nor party treath over your decision stay cam, and be confident that you have taking the right decision by representing your people.
If I may ask you were elected by your people out of trust, if you wount have come to parliament who would have represented your people? The person whom the majority don’t trust would have done so.
Once again I say congratulations sir.
@PATRIOTIC CITIZEN. SL@#$
