Statement by APC UK/Ireland on appointment of VP Victor Foh
The APC – United Kingdom and Ireland Branch heartily congratulates HE Comrade Victor Bockarie Foh on his appointment as the Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone. His appointment will bring in the desired experience and maturity, and will provide the final cog in the President’s drive towards accomplishing the Agenda for Prosperity. Simply, Comrade Foh is an epitome of the national cohesion and inclusiveness a striving Sierra Leone needs at this time.
The Branch also acknowledges the decision taken by National Advisory Council of the Party in relation to the former Vice President, Alhaji Samuel Sam-Sumana. To this end, the Branch wishes to reiterate its enduring policy of upholding and abiding by the decisions of National Party and its related bodies on issues of national and party concern.
Finally, as the matter relating to the constitutionality of the President’s action is already sub judice, the Branch enjoins all Sierra Leoneans, at home or abroad, to be law-abiding and respect the rule of law. Sierra Leoneans therefore, must resist any unlawful incitements from unpatriotic individuals whose singular aim is to bring anarchy in our country and reverse gains already achieved by the Government of Sierra Leone in its bid to enhance the lives of Sierra Leoneans.

Unbridled corruption, chicanery and sheer incompetence must not be entertained in Sierra Leone. How can the Ambassador to China ( a civil servant), be made ‘Vice President’ overnight without relinquishing his post for a minimum period of one year as stipulated in the Sierra Leone Civil Service code? Besides, the integrity of the office of Vice President is not commensurate to the resume of Mr. Victor Bockarie Foh considering his damning criminal record (Vouchergate scandal in the early 1980s refers). This blind loyalty is of no good to the country.
TRUTH though sometimes bitter must be pronounced irrespective of political party affiliation. Sierra Leone matter should not be restricted to party doctrine.
Unconstitutional action by President Bye Bye Koroma in unilaterally relieving Chief Alhaji Sam Sumana of his legitimate position of Vice President of Sierra Leone is despicable and unacceptable. President Bye Bye Koroma even violated the 1995 APC Constitution by stating that Chief Sam Sumana is not a member of the APC party. This is erroneous as Chief Sam Sumana is a member currently going through a dubious disciplinary procedure, within the ambit of the 1995 APC Constitution. How worst can it get?
