The Secretary of the All People’s Congress (APC) West District, Hon. Abdulai Alimamy Kamara, widely known as “The BestGuy,” has reassured the APC leadership of the district’s unwavering support for the party and its executive. Speaking during the APC Western Region Retreat held at the Abza Plaza Complex in Waterloo, Hon. BestGuy emphasized the West District’s commitment to ensuring unity, progress, and ultimate success within the party as it prepares for future endeavours.
The retreat brought together party stalwarts, executives, and grassroots members to deliberate on critical issues concerning the APC’s growth, strategies, and the path forward amid the nation’s evolving political landscape. Hon. BestGuy, speaking on behalf of the district’s leadership, expressed gratitude to the regional executive for organizing the retreat, which he described as a crucial step in consolidating the party’s objectives.
Commitment to Unity and Structure
During his address, Hon. BestGuy underlined the APC’s structured nature, highlighting the importance of adherence to principles that foster unity and coexistence within the party. He stressed that the West District remains a key pillar of the APC, not only in terms of numbers but also in maintaining harmony among party members.
“We are fully behind the leadership of the APC and remain committed to standing by the executive to ensure our collective success,” Kamara declared. “The West District is ever ready to support any activity that promotes the peaceful coexistence of party members. As a structured political party, we understand the value of unity and discipline in achieving our goals.”
His statement comes at a time when political parties in Sierra Leone are working to address internal challenges, such as factionalism and disputes, which often hinder progress. BestGuy emphasis on unity was particularly well-received, as it resonates with the APC’s broader goal of strengthening its internal framework ahead of future political engagements.
Strengthening Grassroots Engagement
One of the critical aspects of the retreat was the need to deepen grassroots engagement. The West District, being a populous and strategically important area, has long been recognized as a stronghold for the APC. Hon. BestGuy pledged that the district would intensify efforts to mobilize support at the community level, ensuring that the APC remains a dominant force in the region.
He noted that the district is ready to play its part in bridging the gap between the party’s leadership and its grassroots supporters. “Our role is not just about supporting the executive; it is about ensuring that the voices of our members at every level are heard and represented. The strength of the APC lies in its grassroots, and we will continue to nurture that connection,” BestGuy added.
A Call for Collaboration
The retreat also served as a platform for dialogue and collaboration among party members. Hon. BestGuy called on all APC members to put aside personal differences and focus on the bigger picture—winning the trust and confidence of Sierra Leoneans. He urged members to avoid actions that could disrupt the party’s unity and instead work collectively to project the APC as a viable alternative for national leadership.
“Our strength lies in our togetherness. This is not a time for division or unnecessary distractions. Let us continue to work as a team, respecting our structures and protocols, so we can stand strong in the face of any challenge,” Kamara appealed.
Future Outlook
As the APC prepares for future elections and political engagements, the West District’s pledge of support is a significant boost for the party. Hon. BestGuy assurances highlight the district’s readiness to contribute actively to the party’s plans and programs, ensuring that the APC remains a formidable political force in Sierra Leone.
The retreat ended with a renewed sense of purpose and a collective resolve to overcome any obstacles that may lie ahead. With leaders like Hon. Abdulai Alimamy Kamara (BestGuy) championing unity and grassroots involvement, the APC is poised to strengthen its position as a structured and forward-looking political organization.
