In a bold and unwavering address that has sent ripples throughout Sierra Leoneβs political landscape, the National Deputy Publicity Secretary of the All People’s Congress (APC), Mohamed Pope Kamara, has issued a clarion call to party members, stakeholders, and all patriotic citizens: the APC is marching toward 2028 with a singular, uncompromising objectiveβreclaiming State House.
Speaking with a tone of urgency and resolve, Pope Kamara declared that the APC has learnt vital lessons from the June 2023 general elections, which he described as marred by electoral injustice and manipulation. He stated in no uncertain terms that βdialogue is not an option anymore,β signaling a new, more assertive posture for the countryβs main opposition party.
βThis time, we are not negotiating our victory. We are not entertaining distractions. The APC has no Plan Bβour only plan is victory,β he proclaimed.
Pope Kamaraβs message, delivered during a recent party engagement, reflects the deep frustrations felt across the APC base following the 2023 elections. He asserted that what happened then has awakened a new spirit of unity, focus, and resistance within the party, and vowed that never again would the peopleβs will be subverted without consequence.
He emphasized that the APCβs mission transcends political ambitionβit is now a national responsibility. βOur country is bleeding, our people are suffering,β Kamara said passionately. βThis is no longer just about party politics. This is about rescuing Sierra Leone from the grip of economic despair, social injustice, and governance collapse under the current SLPP administration.β
According to Kamara, the APC stands as the only political institution with the experience, structure, and commitment to lead Sierra Leone into a brighter future. He cited the partyβs track record in development, national cohesion, and economic reform, promising that under an APC government, dignity and hope will be restored to every Sierra Leonean.
Addressing party members and sympathizers both at home and in the diaspora, Pope Kamara called for resilience, unity, and unwavering loyalty to the party’s cause. He appealed for calm and patience but urged supporters to remain ever vigilant and ready to mobilize when called upon.
βThe struggle is not in vain,β he assured. β2028 is oursβnot as a dream, but as a duty. We owe it to the next generation to fight with all we have for a Sierra Leone that works for all.β
His remarks have been widely welcomed by party faithful, who view Kamaraβs statement as a needed rallying cry for a party that is preparing to contest what could be one of the most pivotal elections in the countryβs history.
Analysts believe that such strong rhetoric marks a turning point for the APC, which appears more unified and determined following a period of internal restructuring and strategic recalibration. With the party’s leadership increasingly taking bold stands, it is clear that the road to 2028 will be fiercely contested.
For Mohamed Pope Kamara and the APC, the message is loud and clear: Sierra Leone deserves betterβand come 2028, the red revolution intends to deliver just that.
