South-Easterners to Discuss the Downfall of the SLPP Today

In a bid to take control of the South and East from the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) the members of the All Peoples Congress (APC) from the Southern and Eastern regions of Sierra Leone will be meeting for the last time before official campaign for the 2012 elections commence in order to plan the final fall of the SLPP under the dynamic leadership of the champion Minister of Internal Affairs Musa Tarawally who doubles as the Campaign Chairman for the South East for the ruling All Peoples Congress.

The meeting is scheduled for 2:30 pm and 5:30 pm at the Bo sports club in Bo and in Kenema respectively. All APC councilors Members of Parliament, Executives and party stakeholders from the Southern and Eastern regions are invited to attend to strategize the removal of the SLPP from their regions.

It could be recorded that the since the President Appointed Hon. Musa Tarawally as the Presidential Campaign Chairman of the APC in the South and East , many in the South and East dubbed the SLPP have been contacting the Hon. Minister for possible defection to the APC. This has caused sleepless nights for the SLPP leadership and their supporters in those regions.

Reports reaching this press indicate that major stakeholders of the APC from the Sout-East are set to meet today in Bo and Kenema to finalize plans and strategies of campaigning and making sure that the President and the APC carry the South and the East.

When contacted, one of the youngest stakeholders from the Southern region Sidie Yahya Tunis a media specialist said that “the campaign in the South and the East has been made very easy for us by President Koroma whose tangible developmental projects are visible all across the country including those two regions.”

He went further that “but the SLPP made the job even easier for us by selecting Maada Bio who has a blemish human rights records and criminal records as their Presidential Candidate. What would we tell our children and grandchildren should all the gains we are making in this country under President Koroma reverse because we made a mistake by electing Bio President of Sierra Leone?” he asked.

“Maada Bio is no match for Ernest Bai Koroma and may God almighty prevent us as a nation from making that terrible mistake.” he concluded.

In a snap interview with the Champion Minister, Hon. Musa Tarawally, he said “the people of the South and East are no fools to choose Maada who has once supported operatives of a Rebel group over President Ernest Bai Koroma who has transformed their lives in just five years through his massive developmental projects, Free Health Care Initiative, Agriculture, Energy Provision and restoring dignity to our traditional and religious leaders.”

“The people of the South and East are grateful to the President for his dynamic leadership and love he has shown the people from the south and east. It is even unfair for anyone to compare Maada Bio to President Koroma whose Agenda for Change and now Agenda for Prosperity aimed at removing people out of poverty in this country,” he concluded.

The ministers restated that the South and the East is no more a top up ground for the APC but a ground that the APC will defeat the SLPP hands down.

Another young media specialist from the southern region Mr. Sylvester Swaray expressed to the press that the SLPP started feeling the heat on Thursday when the APC painted Bo town red during its nomination rally within the city. It shows that the whole South is now a battle ground and no longer a stronghold of the SLPP as previously purported.

“We the young southerners are going to show this nation and the world that we are no more voting by colours, regions or tribes, but for the progress and development of Sierra Leone.” he concluded.
