Mohamed Bangura, a Member of Parliament representing the All People’s Congress (APC) Party, has publicly apologized to his supporters of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for what he described as a disappointing political decision he made years ago.
Speaking during an exclusive media interview, the lawmaker reflected on his past choice to join the APC, admitting that at the time, he lacked the maturity required to make such a significant political move.
“I am saying sorry to my supporters for letting them down with my decision to have joined the All People’s Congress Party years back. Now I realise that I let you down, so please forgive me. The time I made that decision, I was young, but now I am a grown up man, I have children, and I am married. Political decisions require maturity to be made,” he stated.
Bangura described his remarks as a moment of personal reflection and accountability. He acknowledged that political affiliations carry weight and consequences not just for the individual politician but also for the constituents and supporters who place their trust in them.
By apologizing publicly, the MP signaled what many observers see as an attempt to reconnect with his political base and rebuild confidence among those who may have felt disappointed by his earlier decisions.
The parliamentarian emphasized that growth and life experiences have reshaped his understanding of leadership and political responsibility. He noted that maturity, family responsibilities, and broader life exposure have influenced his current outlook on governance and political alignment.
“Political decisions require maturity,” he reiterated, suggesting that leaders must carefully weigh the long-term implications of their choices.
His comments have already sparked debate within political circles and among supporters of the APC and other parties. While some have praised his openness and willingness to admit past misjudgments, others view the statement as a significant political development that could influence his future trajectory.
As Sierra Leone’s political landscape continues to evolve, Hon. Bangura’s public apology may mark a turning point in his political journey, one that underscores accountability, personal growth, and the complex nature of party politics. For now, supporters and critics alike will be watching closely to see what steps follow this candid admission on national television.
