Big Fish incident, a lesson for Sierra Leoneans By: Kembay Those always clamouring for War after seen yesterday random shooting on Charlotte and Lightfoot Boston Streets in Freetown by a desperado should now know such is just a tip of an ice bag in a warfare. Big Fish after forcefully snatching, the riffle from the female police officer didn't go on looking out for APC or SLPP but was determine to shoot at anyone who dare stand his way irrespective of your political loyalty, Religious trait, tribal or Regional connection. The few minutes he spent with the gun while moving up an down, saw almost all the streets in CBD deserted with everyone indoor except the security forces who were positioning themselves at intersections point to end the menace. What caused the desertion and the indoor staying was that everyone knew that either by mistake or intention coming in contact with Big Fish at that moment, would have been your end. That is
After a successful meeting at their party's headquarters, the long infighting among some senior members of the APC has finally come to an end. If you recall, there have been several court cases between factions of party members. One of the factions led by Alfred Peter Conteh won one of the court cases that resulted in the disqualification of the previous executive and the formation of an interim body to manage the party's affairs until their national conference.
Alfred Peter Conteh, Interim Leader APC
Alfred Peter Conteh was named interim head of the body. During his leadership, he was accused of engaging in anti-party activities, and some APC members claimed that he was a staunch supporter of an expelled member, Chief Sam Sumana.
Chief Sam served as Sierra Leone's vice president during the Ernest Bai Koroma administration. He was kicked out of the APC party and later fired as vice president. Many Sierra Leoneans thought the decision was unconstitutional.
Sam appealed Former President Koroma's decision to the Supreme Court, which ruled that the decision was legal and constitutional. Following the Supreme Court's decision, it was rumored that the then-President Ernest Bai Koroma bribed the court to rule in his favor.
The case was later taken to the ECOWAS court, and the ECOWAS court ruled against Ernest Bai Koroma's decision, ordering the state to pay a million dollars in restitution to Chief Sam. The APC government rejected the decision, claiming that the ECOWAS court lacked the authority to overturn a decision made by Sierra Leone's Supreme Court.
Furthermore, the news that the APC, the main opposition party, has reached an agreement has been warmly received by the ruling government. The ruling SLPP stated that going into the polls with the APC and its members in perfect peace and without infighting will be a fine atmosphere, and that if the APC is defeated in 2023, it will not see their instability or infighting as the absolute circumstance that accelerated their defeat.
The SLPP boasts that the President's work and the administration's popularity cannot be thrashed by a political party known for committing egregious corruption and other heinous crimes. "Their resounding defeat in 2023 will signal that they are not returning to power anytime soon. Their opposition will continue to exist after 2038 "said Mohamed Bai Thoronka, a Makeni-based SLPP supporter.
