Hon. Alpha O Timbo arrives in USA
The Hon. Alpha O. Timbo arrived in the U.S.A through the Dulles International Airport, where he was warmly welcomed by the NATIONAL CAUCUS FOR ALPHA O. TIMBO – U.S.A. This group was founded by well-meaning, prominent Sierra Leoneans, who firmly believe that Mr. Timbo is the most formidable from a stream of well-qualified aspirants for the flag bearer position of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP).
The members of this group decided to toe the line with Hon. A.O. Timbo, because they share his inner core beliefs as so eloquently stated by the National Urban League of America, that “ Every man is our brother, and every man’s burden is our own. Where poverty exists, all are poorer. Where hate flourishes, all are corrupted. Where injustice reigns, all are unequal.”
True to his beliefs upon arrival at the Dulles Airport, Mr. Timbo, helped two Sierra Leoneans, who encountered some problems with Customs and Immigration, one of them was Madam Marie Kargbo, who couldn’t communicate in English. He stayed with them for over two hours until they were cleared.
For a moment the welcoming team was in a panicky state as to what caused the delay for the progressive strong man to go through immigration and customs. Little did they know that he was performing his duties as an aspiring leader of his people. The relatives of the aforesaid people were very much elated thus joined the welcoming team of A.O.T. including some highly impressed Americans.
Hon. A.O.Timbo, will be in the U.S.A for two weeks. During this time he will address, some Sierra Leone organizations, labor groups and the SLPPNA convention in California next week.
Meanwhile the attention of the National Caucus for Hon. Alpha O. Timbo – U.S.A has been drawn by the TEGLOMA FEDERATION, that he will not be a special guest at their Sat. July, 31st inaugural event in North Carolina, as reported in Freetown news since it is a non-political and not for profit organization but can participate as any other Sierra Leonean.

How Honorable is Mr Alpha Timbo? Is he a serving member of the Sierra Leone Parliament or is he a serving Minister of Government at the moment to deserve the accolade ‘Honourable’? As far as I know, Mr Timbo was a Minister in the former SLPP Government. I believe the title is only limited to serving members of the legislature and executive. Thus the title is not there to be carried forever. I therefore ask you Mr Editor or Managing Director to cease using this title on individuals who are not supposed to carry it. If you continue dressing people in burrowed robes, you may only be fooling yourself and them.
31st July 2010Thanks.
