The Slpp turn out yesterday in Freetown has worried Apc planners


The Slpp turn out yesterday in Freetown has worried Apc planners

And they are right to be worried

Analytical writing
May 3rd 2023

While we agree that Apc may still command the  majority in Freetown, there is a developing scenario that has revealed that Slpp too has come into Freetown, established itself and amassed hundreds of thousands of supporters. Slpp's national reach policy has spilled into Freetown where people from all backgrounds are now identifying themselves with the party . This has catapulted the Slpp to a position where it now commands a huge support in capital city.
Yesterday, close to a 100 thousand Slpp supporters came out and  were not all over the streets because the Slpp decided to abide by PRRC's rules and regulations of no street rallies . Another driving force behind this massive Slpp support in Freetown is due to President  Bio's constructive governance policies in education  ,infrastructure, healthcare and fight against corruption. 
Many contributions to our political conversation have long  since agreed and developed a school of thought that for Apc to win the general election, they have to completely blow out Slpp in Freetown by winning 90% or above.
But here we are .Slpp and Apc are now experiencing some level of competition in the city based on what happened yesterday. Many of the grassroot Apc supporters are not aware of how their party planners are worried at the moment. Apc party election planners know that for Apc to win this election,Slpp should not do well in Freetown
This is the same disaster that met Apc in 2018 when Slpp won 40% of the capital city. While Slpp will love to win the city,they do not need to win it as a requirement to win the general election. Slpp only needs to do well.
This time around also , something interesting is going to play out as it has been  observed that Slpp and Apc are now at a statistical dead heat in a number of local council elections including the Mayor's seat.

In a nutshell shell, we do agree that Apc may still have majority in Freetown . But what we want our readers to understand is that there is  some level of competition between them and Slpp and such a scenario immediately disadvantages the Apc in any general election.

As Plan to Blackmail the SLP Backfires, ACP Mira put to Shame

As Plan to Blackmail the SLP Backfires, ACP Mira put to Shame With abounds evidences in possession of this writer, it is crystal clear that Madam Mira Dubuya allegations of injustice and mistreatment are nothing but a well calculated and orchestrated ploy aim at dragging the SLP reputation into mud. Mira enrolled into the SLP force in 2006 and within a shortest time rose to a rank that others who have spent 20yrs plus are still grappling to reach. (But this should be a story for another day) There are series of missions for Police officers including Formed Police Unit (FPU), Individual Police Officers (IPO) and the P&D.  There is a policy in the SLP, that officers sent on peace mission abroad must pay certain amount back home to the force peacekeeping directorate as maintenance for training and other expenditures.  ACP Mira in 2021 through the SLP, went to the UN Police mission in the United States, under the P4 category where her annual salary was over ninty t...

Those Unimpressive Words From the Outgone US Ambassador, David Reimer

Those Unimpressive Words From the Outgone US Ambassador, David Reimer. By Kembay Sierra Leoneans and other non citizens residents in Sierra Leone were shocked over a statements made by the ousted United States of America Ambassador, David Reimer in a local Radio broadcast on Thursday 17th August, 2023. The ousted US Ambassador statements which all listeners viewed as adding insult to injury came at a time the country is still grappling with it political and economic stalemate just after the June 24 2023 general elections.  Ambassador Reimer statements in that broadcast exposed him of putting personal sentiments above diplomatic protocols in adherence to sovereignty.  Where in the world has Reimer seeing the opposition accepting defeat or has he forgotten that as we speak, Donald Trump is yet to accept the victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 US elections over allegations of irregularities? Ambassador Reimer if truly is a honest man should not have accepted his appointm...
