The National Publicity Secretary of the All People’s Congress (APC) party Sidie Yaya Tunis has spoke on his party position after the June 24th, 2023 election.
During an interview with Sierra Leone Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC), the country’s national television, Tunis was questioned about his party, the APC, and whether they are still advocating for a re-run of the June 24th, 2023, election. In reply, he affirmed that this has consistently been among their post-election demands and they intend to engage in discussions with the relevant authorities on the matter.
He said as a party they have their position, and the government also has theirs which may be met or not.
He continued that the APC is mostly concerned about making sure they address issues that will strengthen the country’s democracy, and secure its features, and Sierra Leoneans enjoy their fundamental rights.
He revealed that more than 200 of their party members are currently incarcerated. Furthermore, their organizing secretary from Bonthe was recently detained for purportedly making remarks against the president. Additionally, several members have fled the country in fear for their safety.
While asked about the backlog payment of boycotted APC members of parliament, he stated that his part has presented its proposal to the peace commission, adding that they should be concessional.
Who said we were going to do a re-run of the June 24 elections? If the APC had won the elections, they should have sought redress in the courts. But why are they making demands as if their demands were legal? This is the ApC that wants to rule Mama Saline, right? They should do a rethink. APC has proved beyond every reasonable doubt that they are not serious. They are still wallowing in their ancient system of “deceive-and-rule style”, right? I feel pity for the APC because sooner or later more than 75% of the electorate would see you who you truly are. Then you will realize that the destiny of APC has been buried long before you realized it. “Tiffi Tiffi” criminals. That is what you are!
