Leading members of the Interim Transitional Governance Committee (ITGC) of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) have closed ranks after months of internal feud, over who does what.
The then disputing ITGC factions of Chairman, Alfred Peter Conteh and the Secretary General, Hon. Abdul Kargbo were Wednesday 31 August 2022 brought to the dialogue table through the mediation of APC Peace Facilitators, the Big Six and senior party stakeholders, during a reunion meeting held at the party’s National Secretariat, at 11A Old Railway Line, Brookfields in Freetown, for the sake of peace, progress and the general good.
A press statement jointly signed and issued by the Secretary General, Hon. Kargbo and the Chairman Mr Conteh, shortly after the peace and reconciliation meeting reads: “ITGC wishes to inform the membership of the APC and the general public that the standoff within the ITGC has been amicably resolved.”
The statement reiterates that the peace and reconciliation was struck through the mediation of the APC Peace Facilitators, senior party stakeholders and the Big Six, in furtherance of the spirit of cohesiveness, informing that the ITGC is working to review outstanding issues for the good of the party.
The committee reassured the entire membership of the party that: “goodwill now and will continue to exist within our ranks and that all outstanding processes and requirements that will take our party to convention are now fully on course to deliver victory in June 2023.”
They both encourage all to go out there in their Chinese number and register from 3rd September to 4 October 2022 to enable them vote in the June 2023 elections.
