We are proud to inform the world of PMDC’s extraordinary successes at Bo, Bo district so far: Its convention has been called the pacesetter for democracy in Sierra Leone. Charles Margai(photo) said the process is the most transparent in the political history of our nation.
NEC officials on the ground reported that the issue of party leadership was discussed and resolved today in a heated debate amongst delegates. Aspects of the Manifesto came under fire and adoptions were made. We shall bring you updates later.
Notably, it was agreed that Njala University would be wholesomely returned to its original spot where there is abundance of land to support the full-scale agricultural research institution the PMDC envisions for the university, unlike the feckless manner it is operating under SLPP ten years after the war.
Prominent SLPP district councillors are showing up at the PMDC conference upon surrendering their SLPP membership cards and party officials are consolidating their endorsements accordingly. According to one Mr. Sallieu Conteh who introduced himself as a councilor in Pujehun; “My resignation letter with SLPP was in effect since March 1, 2007.”
PMDC officials explained that Mr. Conteh delivered a thought-provoking speech that left them just beginning to think of how many more of such well-informed and civic competent citizens SLPP had shorthanded itself out of in the political process by marginalization.
“His speech was insightful: He recounted SLPP’s dictatorial and corrupt actions of the last ten years and reminisced on the decade-long war, further building clear correlation between the civil war and APC’s dictatorship of the past,” Mr. Moijue Kai Kai said.
A few observations about Victor Reider, the inept SLPP propagandist: Reider has countless times demonstrated that he is a sophist who must not be taken seriously. His action is a self-dispensation of defeat; he is managing to hold onto the minority groups upon waking up in the morning to the cloudy realization of the past now becoming lucid that the SLPP’s southeast political base was no more: It has been lost to PMDC.
He is also forgetful lest he should know that the grassroots PMDC movement sprouted not from Bo alone, but from the amalgamation of the marginalized groups; the SLPP san san boys; these are mostly Fulas and Mandingoes.
We are far ahead; we have consolidated that support base and we are going to officially consolidate, recognize and welcome the recent endorsement from the combined-peace process stakeholders that we have put on hold to mourn the national war hero, Chief Sam Hinga Norman, who had led the initiative before his mysterious death last month.
Mr. Reider needs to check within the PMDC rank and file for the many faces of minority groups before he calls the movement minority hater. PMDC strongly detests all forms of discrimination, for that reason the movement that has forced the SLPP towards the beginning of its end was created.
Let him pass!
