Dr Ibrahim Bangura, one of the aspirants for the All People’s Congress (APC) Flagbearership, will today start the second phase of his nationwide “Iftar” tours when his team and himself will deliver bags of rice and cooking oil to Muslims in Falaba, Koinadugu, Bombali, Tonkolili, and Karene Districts.
Before this, he had concluded a two-day tour of Kambia and Port Loko Districts as part of his nationwide distribution of thousands of bags of rice and gallons of cooking oil to members of the APC observing the Ramadan.
APC Elders and party faithful turned out in huge numbers in Kambia Town, Madina, Tonko Limba, and Mambolo, among other communities, to welcome the aspiring APC flagbearer, Dr Ibrahim Bangura.
In Kambia Town, which marked the first stop of his tour, Dr Bangura told the cheering crowd that he was not in Kambia to discuss party politics; rather, his visit was underpinned by the requirements of Islam – to give charity during this Holy month of Ramadan. He, however, emphasised the need for party unity and discipline ahead of the 2028 General Elections.
In Madina Tonko, Dr Bangura told the exuberant crowds that he had them at heart; hence, his brief visit to share the little he had with them.
In Mambolo, where thousands more enthusiastic supporters and well-wishers thronged to hear from him, the thrust of his message was the same – to undertake charitable gestures during this Holy Month of Ramadan as required by Islam; and to urge all comrades to be united and work towards the party’s common goal of retaking political power.
On Tuesday in Port Loko City, where a mammoth cheering crowd including major stakeholders in the district gathered at the APC party office to welcome him, Dr Ibrahim Bangura praised Port Loko for being “a district ever committed to the APC”, noting that his family had a historical connection with the district.
Dr Bangura pointed out that his father, popularly known as M.L. Bangura, was very humble to the late S.I. Koroma and served him to the end. He noted that his father even continued with the legacy of the late S.I. Koroma.
Dr Bangura noted that, “the month of Ramadan requires sharing”, adding that he had visited Port Loko City to share with them the little he had. He also called on the people of Port Loko “to join hands together to restore peace, unity, and discipline in the APC”.
The distribution in Kambia Town, Madina Tonko, Mambolo, and Port Loko City of thousands of bags of rice and gallons of cooking oil formed the highlights of the “Iftar” tours of the two districts.
