SLPP Shakes Tonkolili, As Three APC Big Guns Join Others To Endorse Bio's Second-Term

SLPP Shakes Tonkolili, As Three APC Big Guns Join Others To Endorse Bio's Second-Term

By Richmond B Tholley

Though surrogates of the All People's Congress are referring to those resigning from the party to join their political opponents - the Sierra Leone Peoples Party as politically useless and having no power to move crowds, it seems the ruling party is making inroads into Districts traditionally believed to be political strongholds of the main opposition.

A few days ago the great Alpha Khan of Port Loko resigned from the APC to join the SLPP. Khan might be politically useless according to the majority of the APC, but it will be a slap on the main opposition party, and a plus to the ruling party.
Tonkolili, a District in the Northern province and is believed to be one of the strongholds of the main opposition but recent developments have seen the ruling party eying most of the political players in the team of the APC.

ALUSINE Abdulai Sesay, the former Tonkolili District Council Chairman is gone, and he's now going to contest against his former party. Again, Sesay might be of no use to the APC, but he's influential and he's going to make a difference, no matter how little it is. Because he also has followers.

The recent one is on Saturday 29th April 2023 when three other members of the APC not only resigned from the party but also joined the SLPP and endorsed President Bio's second-term mantra. 

The three - former Members of Parliament from Magburaka and Yele, Hon Mohamed Albert Tarawalie and Hon David Bai Conteh respectively, and Mohamed Bash Taqi from Matotoka are all influential and respected in their communities.

The political trios publicly declared their support for the SLPP and President Bio during the president's visit to Magbass, a strategic town in the District.

Election is a game of number and the ruling party seems to increase numbers especially in Tonkolili District almost everyday.

While the SLPP is going round to bring in new players that will help them win the June 24th election, the APC keeps bragging about their party and candidate's popularity and does not seem to pamper or convince others not to leave. 

Yes, they're are doing this with impunity, and no regard for others.

Among the three, Mohamed Albert Tarawalie (MAT) has a grassroots support and might add to the SLPP and President Bio's second term bid. 

Over the years, Bio's SLPP faced criticism for many economic policies, but his recent moves and the way he's pushing for people his opponents say are not politically important is something the APC must not underestimate. Because such apparent moves might affect the APC party and gives the SLPP winning. 

Don't underestimate Bio!

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead".

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead". If you recall, in the year 2022, Dr. John Idriss Lahai, a whistle-blower who exposed a phony degree, attracted the attention of every patriotic Sierra Leonean. His activity came to light after it was found that numerous Sierra Leoneans had received honorary PhDs from a Waterloo, Western Rural District postsecondary institution that was not accredited. Even well-known Sierra Leoneans, including the previous Inspector General of Police, were given honorary PhDs by the university known as Dominion University. When it was determined that the aforementioned university lacks the integrity to grant such a credential, the IG subsequently declined the offer. Dominion University PHD award ceremony From this point on, Dr. John Idriss Lahai began to expose Sierra Leoneans who, in his opinion, had earned questionable academic credentials. He then began to draw attention from people from all

A scammer from Sierra Leone has been captured by Guinean police.

  The person in the picture is actually Abdulai Jalloh, despite the fact that he is identified as a lecturer from Njala University under the name of Dr. Kanu. In early January of this year, he posted in a WhatsApp group in Kambia that he had scholarship chances and could help people acquire government pin codes, among other things, but that the offer was only valid for those from the South and east.   Someone sent him NLe1,500 for overseas study without realizing he was a scammer.  The scammer claimed that the entire application process for the scholarship cost 3,000 New Leone.  Later, the contacted person realized that he was not who he had been representing himself to be, and he immediately blocked the victim of his syndicate.  He once more perpetrated the same crime against Molai, another individual, and someone else.  In the pretense of an international scholarship, he demanded 3000 New Leones from each person. He accepted the cash and fled without telling them where he was.  The m
