Under the aegis of the former Chairman and Leader of the All People’s Congress (APC), ex-President Ernest Bai Koroma, the APC flagbearer aspirants last week held what was described as “a very fruitful strategic meeting in Makeni”.

Earlier this week, under the guidance of the former deputy Chair and Leader, Alhaji Minkailu Mansaray, there was a follow-up interaction.

News about these meetings has provided renewed hope to a hitherto despairing APC followership. Members of the public alike, despondent with the biting hardship, welcome this development.

“Everyone believes that if these APC leaders unite, nothing will stop them from defeating President Julius Maada Bio’s clueless Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) in the June 24 polls.
