Sam Sumana Speaks Against SLPP, Garners Support For APC

Former Vice President in the Ernest Bai Koroma Government has accused the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party of making vague promises to the people of Kono District in Eastern Sierra Leone.

According to The Exclusive, the former Vice President said most of the infrastructural development in the diamond-rich district took place under the erstwhile government.

Sam-Sumana equated the promises made by the ruling government to being vague and bent on wooing voters as the country edge towards elections.

Kono in previous elections has been categorised as a swing district.

The SLPP won the district in 2002 with late President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah. The APC took the district again in 2007 and 2012 elections.

In 2018 elections, both the SLPP and APC lost significant votes in the district due to the formation of local party, Coalition for Change (C4C). With the C4C party at the doldrums, the main opposition APC and ruling SLPP have directed substantial energy to win the district.

With barely days to elections, both parties have made bold claims that they will win the district.

I do agree entirely with the statement that PAOPA is not SLPPO. Let people not mistake them. PAOPA highjacked the SLPP.

Sam Sumana, you are one of the big guns in Kono that have contributed to the under development of your district (Kono). You decided to leave the APC because of a small problem with your Boss after the APC has made you Vice president of the Republic of Sierra Leone. Sam Sumana, you took the APC to Court and made a lot of false allegations against your Former Boss. Sam Sumana you failed to understand that the all Mighty Allah gave you that position and not Ernest Bai Koroma; because Ernest Bai Koroma appointed you from the blues. Sam Sumana you would have sat down quietly and pray to God for another blessing from him. Sam Sumana, instead of sitting quietly and pray to God for his deliverance, you went all out to form another political party; the C4C which the PAOPA government has destroyed. Sam Sumana,let me tell you the truth, the PAOPA regime is not an SLPP party or regime. This regime is a REBEL regime whose leader was Alie Kabba and Maada Bio. That is why they called it the PAOPA regime. The Rebels' objective is to destroy all other political parties in this country so that they can Rule forever in this country. Sam Sumana,if indeed you are not a Rebel like Maada Bio and his followers; go back to the APC party to work in the interest of the people of Sierra Leone. This is not the actual SLPP party but this is a PAOPA rebel government which overthrew the actual SLPP party. Kono people please go back to either the APC or the True SLPP. Please think wisely before you take your decision. Good luck and good bye.
