*They Kicked Him Out of His Father’s House—But Sam-Sumana Refuses to Bow*
By Frequency Modulations 44.4
Sierra Leone witnessed a moment of truth on September 3, 2025, when former Vice President Chief Samuel Sam-Sumana finally broke his silence. At the Radisson Blu Hotel in Freetown, he looked the nation in the eye and delivered a message that cut through the fog of political deceit. He said the words that few expected to hear from a man so wronged: “Forgive what the APC did to me.” In a country where politics has been reduced to vendettas, this was an act of strength, not surrender.
For years, Sam-Sumana was cast aside, painted as an outcast, a man unfit to sit at the table he helped build. Yet when he stood before the people, his words thundered: “I am APC, I live APC, and I will die APC.” That is loyalty that no expulsion, no smear campaign, and no manipulation can erase. When he declared, “They kicked me out of my father’s house,” the pain was clear, but so was the courage. He was not begging to return; he was demanding justice in the house where he rightfully belongs.
Sam-Sumana’s speech was not only emotional—it was constitutional. He challenged the party’s discriminatory clauses and reminded Sierra Leone that no political party has the authority to trample on the 1991 Constitution. He called out Act No. 6 and exposed it as an illegal weapon designed to silence competition. His answer to it was short and uncompromising: “Let the best person win.” In those words, he cut through the backroom deals and exposed the rot of a system built on favoritism. He did not ask for favors—he demanded a fair fight.
He went further to strip away the lies that have been used against him. He reminded Sierra Leoneans that his removal in 2015 was not a legal disqualification, but a political ex*****on. He reminded the public that he never founded the C4C party. He put the truth on record and took back his name from the hands of liars.
This is not the voice of a broken man. This is the voice of a fighter who has been betrayed, humiliated, and exiled, yet refuses to bow. Sam-Sumana’s words hit at the heart of Sierra Leone’s crisis: we are drowning not because we lack talent, but because we tolerate injustice. He stood up and reminded us that real leadership does not come from those who manipulate constitutions to cling to power—it comes from those who risk everything to defend fairness.
Sierra Leone is at a crossroads. We can continue down the path of division, deceit, and manipulation—or we can listen to the man who was kicked out of his father’s house and still returned with forgiveness in his mouth and justice in his heart. That kind of resilience cannot be ignored. That kind of loyalty cannot be bought. That kind of courage is what Sierra Leone needs now more than ever.
They tried to bury him. Instead, they resurrected him. And on September 3, 2025, Sam-Sumana proved that he is not just a survivor of Sierra Leone’s broken politics—he is a standard-bearer for its redemption.
