Many Sierra Leoneans were left in shock when the All People’s Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Dr. Samura Kamara made shocking statements about the Eastern District of Kono.
Kamara said in an address to his supporters in the UK that Kono is not important than Gbonkolenken, Lokomasama or Sanda Tindaren.
“Kono is part of Sierra Leone and people should not have the notion that it is more important than Gbonkolenken, Lokomasama or Sanda Tindaren.
“We are all equal in Sierra Leone,” the APC Presidential Candidate said.
He told his supporters not to fear the repercussion of the decision of Kono residents ahead of the June polls. Kamara added that he has met with some of the stakeholders of the district where he told them to present reliable individual to work with.
Meanwhile he revealed to his supporters that the APC party is holding engagements with the district stakeholders including former Minister, Diana Konomanyi.
“There is a lot to be done for Kono.
“They have diamonds but all these years it was the APC Government of Ernest Bai Koroma that constructed the highway from Makeni to Kono,” he said.
He said the APC hierarchy spoke with heads in the district several times in the past but that they went ahead to form another party.
“Let’s the people of Kono think about Sierra Leone although the founders of the party might have had underlying intentions,” Kamara said.
He said the C4C party has collapsed which he said could mean that a third party in nowadays democracy is of no relevance. He claimed that the fall of the C4C is because it was formed on “tribal sentiment”.
The Presidential Candidate reminisced in the 2018 Parliamentary election when they lost eight out of the nine seats in the District.
“Those that formed the C4C where are they today?” he enquired.
Barely hours after the video surfaced on social media, one of the Party’s Parliamentary Candidates, Isata Felicia Wleh-Philips withdrew her candidature after being nominated by the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL).
Analysts are forecasting that more resignation or cross-carpeting are to be expected in the coming days.
They said with just over a month to election, losing the swing district of Kono could be a big loss for the main opposition party.
APC Samura drunkered Kamara is very correct. He actually presented the views of the APC executive and the grassroot that Kono, Kenema, Kailaun, Bo, Bonthe, Moyamba, Pujehun and Koinadugu are not important and therefore not needed for APC to win the elections.
This notion you have as APC, will keep you in opposition permanently which will lead to acute financial difficulties in your party and your families leading to further hunger, starvation and even death. This is because APC supporters have no means of survival without politics. That is why they see politics as a do or die issue. Una sorry oooooo!!!!!!!
I think analyst should first of all understand the position in which the message is coming.. He had never said that the Eastern and southern are not important. Rather he said that every town or village in Sierra Leone is as equal as any other place highlighted in Sierra Leone
Samurai don finish we for good
It has been said of old by fore parents who took the ventures to collaborate with the tribal and APC that pay gangs to insult variable elders for their selfish desires. It started by a corrupt former president of APC and continue by his cousin Samurai Kamara that failed our district. Samurai Kamara lied to Diana konomanyi that he will make her running mate come 2023, June. Infact, since the every day he was appointed Diana konomanyi and samurai did not have good conversation. Samurai will feel the heat of his statement. Kono people will tell samurai and his fellowers that Kono is the bread basket of Sierra Leone. Samurai Kamara continue fooling your abusive and lawless tribal party. Shame oooooo, shame oooooo.
Simple interpretation our educationists can not do, ooh salone. This is simple, it is an advice for us the kono people to love one another.
It is unfortunate for a political leader trying to win an election to make such statement. Notwithstanding, Kono still remains Kono. Our importance will soon be manifested in Jesus name
