APC Gliding Towards Power
As Sierra Leone inches closer to the 2028 general elections, political temperatures are rising, and the winds of change are stirring across the nation. The All People's Congress (APC), still reeling from its 2018 and 2023 electoral defeats, appears poised to make a strong comeback. Yet, from Kailahun to Kambia, the murmurs are clear: tiptoeing will not be enough. If the APC truly wants to unseat the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), it must evolve beyond old tactics and embrace a bold, strategic, and inclusive approach. Simply waiting for SLPP to stumble is not a winning strategy. The APC must act—and act decisively.

The Illusion of Automatic Victory:

There’s a dangerous assumption within certain APC circles—that the SLPP’s missteps, rising economic hardship, and growing public frustration will automatically translate into votes for the APC in 2028. But this is a political illusion, not a strategy.

Yes, Sierra Leoneans are frustrated. Prices are high, unemployment is rampant, and trust in government is fragile. But frustration alone does not guarantee a vote for the opposition. Sierra Leoneans are no longer easily swayed by party colors or historical legacies. What they crave is vision, direction, and deliverables. If the APC offers nothing new, the electorate may well choose continuity—or look beyond the two-party system altogether.

The Need to Do More; and Do it Now:

The APC must come to terms with an uncomfortable truth: it is not enough to criticize SLPP failures. The time has come for a serious internal transformation. This means, rebuilding internal unity after years of division and factionalism, presenting a credible leadership team with fresh faces, not just recycled power-seekers, delivering a clear, realistic and inclusive policy platform that speaks to the needs of everyday Sierra Leoneans—especially youth and women and demonstrating a commitment to national cohesion, not just party victory. In essence, the APC must become the change it promises to deliver.

The Alliance Imperative:

If the APC is serious about reclaiming State House in 2028, it must move beyond the arrogance of major-party dominance and embrace coalition-building. The political landscape in Sierra Leone is shifting. Voter loyalty is not what it once was, and smaller political parties are gaining ground—not necessarily in size, but in influence and symbolism.

Parties such as the National Grand Coalition (NGC), the Coalition for Change (C4C), and other emerging platforms may not command huge numbers independently, but they represent critical swing voters in key regions. Forming genuine, respectful, and transparent alliances with these smaller parties could be the key to tipping the electoral balance.

More importantly, alliances must not be transactional or cosmetic. These coalitions should be grounded in shared values, power-sharing agreements, and joint policy goals. The days of “using and discarding” smaller parties are over. The new politics demands cooperation, compromise, and coalition-building that prioritize the national interest over personal ambition.

A Manifesto of the People, Not the Politicians:

The APC must also radically change the way it engages with citizens. The old model of top-down manifesto writing no longer works. For its 2028 campaign, the APC must go to the people—into the villages, the markets, the schools, the slums, and the diaspora. It must listen more than it speaks and craft a people-centered agenda that reflects grassroots priorities.

Imagine a manifesto that includes, realistic economic policies that address inflation and job creation, a blueprint for sustainable energy and infrastructure, a new deal for youth employment and skills training, and a commitment to reforming public institutions and ensuring justice for all, not just the powerful.

This is the kind of bold vision Sierra Leoneans will rally behind—not empty slogans or tribal campaigning.

Rebranding and Rebuilding Trust:

One of APC’s biggest challenges remains trust. Many voters remember the corruption allegations, internal wrangling, and complacency of the past. If the APC wants to win back disillusioned citizens, it must do the hard work of rebranding itself as a new kind of opposition—responsible, united, and ready to lead.

That means clean leadership. It means engaging women, youth, and professionals in decision-making roles. It means walking the talk on transparency, accountability, and national unity. It means replacing entitlement with empathy and arrogance with action.

The SLPP may be vulnerable in 2028, but if the APC looks like just another version of what it criticizes, the people will not return.

A New Political Culture Is Emerging:

2028 will not be won in the courts or by social media bravado. It will be won on authentic connection, bold ideas, and strategic alliances. It will be won by those who recognize that Sierra Leoneans are no longer impressed by big rallies and tribal rhetoric. They want water, electricity, dignity, jobs, education, and peace. They want a future they can believe in.

The APC must align itself with this new consciousness—or risk becoming politically irrelevant, no matter how long it tiptoes.

The APC still has time to get it right—but not forever. The 2028 elections will be here before long, and Sierra Leoneans are watching, waiting, and weighing their options. To defeat the SLPP, the APC must do more than oppose—it must propose, perform, and partner.

It must rise above the old ways and present itself as a truly transformed party—ready not just to take power, but to take responsibility.

If the APC wants to win in 2028, tiptoeing won’t do. It’s time to march—firmly, boldly, and together—with Sierra Leone at the center of the mission.

Aminata Bangura Vows Appeal against Stage-Managed SLFA Election Process to CAS
By Alpha Barrie
Aminata Bangura, defeated candidate in the just concluded Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA)’s election has vowed to take the Electoral Committee to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over the entire electioneering process.
The Chairman of Bo Rangers FC, Babadi Kamara, was elected as the new President of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) following an Elective Congress that was full of confusion held at the Gateway Hotel in Lungi on Saturday, August 4th, 2025.
The election, full of confusion regarding constitutional matter and one of the delegates, Benjamin Gordon, was brutally beaten and forcefully dragged out of the hall by the police security personnels, accusing him of obstructing the congress.
Kamara won by a wide margin, receiving 43 votes. His rivals, Aminata Bangura got 11 and Alhaji Umaru Bah despite withdrawing from race, got 1 vote.
The journey to this election was full of problems. There were disqualification of candidates on ethical issues, accusations of fake documents, political pressure, and fights over who could vote. The former president, Thomas Daddy Brima, was removed after failing integrity checks. Aminata Bangura was only allowed to run a few days before the vote, after a decision from the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Speaking to a cross section of the media after the elections, Aminata Bangura said the entire process was fraud and it’s not an elective congress, but a coronation, stressing that she will challenge the whole electioneering process at CAS.
“For over four hours we were engaged in a constitutional crisis and then they went ahead in a typical “Paopa Style” and conducted the elections. This is not an election and it's not credible. I would challenge the process like I did before. I would test the process and I would go to CAS to challenge the entire electioneering process because I believe that what we had here is not a congress, it's a coronation,” she stated.
She added: “First of all I was removed from the race with an ethical issue which was a non-issue. Through CAS, two days ago I was reinstated in the race and I came to contest a fair election. But what happened today is unacceptable. If there is no president to call the election to order — the very person responsible for ensuring the process runs properly — then what do you call that? That is not an election.”
Aminata Bangura stressed that she entered football to “bring light into what has become a dark sport,” adding that she would continue to scrutinize the process.
“The constitution is not clear, and I will keep tracing the process. Football is supposed to be a fair and just game — not an avenue for the party in power to secure positions by hook or by crook. We will test this process,” she vowed.
Meanwhile, the President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Dr. Patrice Motsepe, has extended his warm congratulations to Babadi Kamara following his recent election as President of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA). And According to the SLFA’s Media Department the former President, Thomas Daddy Brima has congratulated Babadi Kamara.

As CSL Presents Trophies to NOC/ CGA-SLE… Prince Sualley Lauds Female Cricket Team’s Consistent Achievements
By Alpha Barrie
Following the presentations of trophies and medals within three months, the President of the National Olympic Committee/ Commonwealth Games of Sierra Leone (NOC/ CGA-SLE) has commended the National Senior Women’s Team, for consistently bringing laurels home.
Cricket Sierra Leone (CSL) on Friday, August 1st, 2025, made a representational presentation of trophies and medals to the President of the National Olympic Committee/ Commonwealth Games of Sierra Leone (NOC/ CGA-SLE), Prince Vandy Sualley, in acknowledgment of the National Senior Women’s Team’s astronomical performance at the just-concluded ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Africa Division 2 Qualifier in Gaborone, Botswana.
The team, which emerged as runners-up in the tournament, after winning the BCA Kalahari Women's T20 International Tournament in May, was led by CSL’s Chairman Francis Trevor Samuar and other officials including the newly appointed National Senior Women’s Team’s Coordinator Sarah Johnson.
Presenting the trophies and medals to Prince Sualley at the NOC/ CGA-SLE’s headquarters at 13 Walpole Street in Freetown, Chairman Samura said the team actually demonstrated strong sense of nationalism, dedication and courage under challenging circumstances, appealing to the Committee for support towards the girls who represented the Country without receiving any allowance and return back home with laurels..
“I am appealing on behalf of the Board, for NOC's support to this female players, they've done us proud as a Country, honestly and truly speaking, looking at the facilities we have and looking at the successes they are recording or bringing to the people and nation of Siena Leone, they really need recognition, they need support,” he affirmed.
The Chairman underscored during the just concluded International Cricket Council (ICC) annual general meeting in Singapore, there were presentations, one of which they were asked as national federations presidents to work with their local NOCs for support through the Olympic Solidarity fund.
“It’s exactly 27 days today they shall be leaving for Namibia to participate in the massive Women T20 Cricket World Cup qualifier. They've dealt with the puppies; they will now go and meet with the bulldogs so we need to prepare them. We have over three weeks to prepare them for the qualifiers. From that qualifying stage, the top two teams will qualify for the ICC Women T20 World Cup in 2026 that will be hosted in the UK,” The CSL Chairman noted.
In his response, NOC/ CGA’s President Sualley congratulated the team for their noteworthy achievements, commending them for being consistent in brining laurels to the country.
“It's always a pleasure to welcome sporting disciplines when they come from abroad representing us; it is even more gratifying when they come home with laurels. In this case cricket has been very much consistent, this is the second time you are coming with laurels within this short possible time, the last you were here with gold and now it's silver, hopefully the next time it would be another gold medal and a qualification to the Women T20 Cricket World Cup,” he stated.
The NOC Chief assured the team that they would do their best to support team before they depart for the qualifiers in Namibia and also they will surely present their case to the Olympic Solidarity because they deserve it.
“We are going to do everything humanly possible for us to come in wherever way we can so that you will be comfortable when you will be leaving the shore of Sierra Leone next time to compete at that higher level.”
“I want to congratulate the team members, for your effort, I would also implore you to continue working hard, now that the competition is only going to get stiffer as we move along. I would expect you to put in more work as you prepare for the next stage of the competition,” President Sualley stated, adding I am not going to make any promises, the only promise I can make to you right now is that we are going to try our level best to see what area we can come in to help. We would definitely approach the Olympic Solidarity and see how they can come in and assist in your situation.”

As Opposition Sings: ‘U Koko Rose ooh…’ Fatima Misbehaves In Parliament
By Musa Paul Feika

At the State Opening of the Third Session of the Sixth Parliament on Thursday, 7th August, 2025, it was the First Lady, Madam Fatima Maada Bio who stole the show from her husband, President Julius Maada Bio, whose day it is as Head of State, Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Force of the Republic of Sierra Leone and Fountain of Honour delivering his speech from the throne of the Legislature.

Rather, the show was stealthily stolen from him by his wife whose mannerism and apparent disregard of Parliamentary protocols instantly caught the attention of the Opposition Members of Parliament and the general public in the gallery.

It first began with her refusal to join the gallery and the aisles of Parliament to as protocol demands, stand up in respect of the office of the Speaker of Parliament and the second gentleman of the Republic as they were ushered into the Well. Madam Fatima Bio did not bulge but remained seated with legs crossed as her Husband, the President, the Vice President, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh and the Speaker Solomon Segepoh Thomas were respectfully greeted by the assemblage when they rose to their feet in a standing ovation to welcome the three constitutionally political figures.

The assertive Madam First Lady did not stop at not that disrespect, she was also noticed having earphones in her ears while her husband the President was delivering his address, apparently thought to be on TikTok at that moment, she was only noticed removing the earphones when the President had concluded his address followed by the tumultuous approval of clapping and desk-banging by Members of Parliament of the President’s ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP).

By this time, the public had already taken notice of her cavalier behavior and murmurs had started coming up.

She only removed the earphones when President concluding addressing the nation and members of the gallery were grumbling, murmuring and displeased with her behaviour.

Most of those from the ruling party side who took notice of the First Lady’s behavior attributed it to the unexpected chanting of the popular song: ‘U koko rose ooh…how u manage so taay u koko rose’ by All People’s Congress (APC) opposition Members of Parliament as she was ushered to take her seat in the Well of Parliament ahead of the arrival of her husband. She was noticed to have dramatically changed the contours on her face and which according to postulations, may have forced her to stuck the earphones into her ears in order not to hear the chants of the opposition Parliamentarians. It was this acrid reaction that led her to leave her ears stuffed from listening to the very important national message being delivered by her husband, His Excellency the President.

It could be recalled that at the just concluded National Delegates Conference (NDC) of the SLPP, the song: ‘U koko rose ooh…How u manage so taay u koko rose’ appeared as the anthem of the conference spiritedly danced to by the President and Vice President and was even mimed by the outgone National Chairman of the SLPP, Dr. Prince Alex Harding. Many observers of the that SLPP NDC have suggested lately that the song’s sudden officialdom at the NDC was deliberate attempt to tell the First Lady that not everything she wanted to force through in the party was being accepted as was indicated in the Chairmanship election victory of Jimmy Batilo Songa. She is said to have been actively opposing Songa against the majority will of the SLPP delegates and as such, when Jimmy Batilo Songa won by the landslide majority, Dr. Prince Harding took to miming the song as an innuendo.

But citizens are careless about whatever may have happened to her in the course of the internal politics of their political party; but to now come glaringly manifest this form of crude disrespect for the country’s top-most Statesman who happens to be her husband has been considered embarrassing and uncalled for, especially as she is considered as the “Mother of the Nation” who is expected to live above pettiness and in the public eye, to show the highest form of respect for her husband even when she had been given that bloody nose at their party’s NDC.

Meanwhile, Majority Leader of Government Business in Parliament, Hon. Sahr Mathew Nyuma has tabled the President’s speech in Parliament for it to be debated on after when Parliament returns from its recess.

Dr. Samura Kamara: Sierra Leone’s Last Sentinel for Electoral Justice
In a time when Sierra Leone’s political terrain trembles under the weight of betrayal, apathy, and opportunism, one man has continued to carry the torch of principle and resilience—Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara. While many within the senior ranks of the All People’s Congress (APC) seem to have quietly abandoned the battle for electoral justice, Kamara stands unwavering, a lion amidst sheep, resolute in the belief that Sierra Leone deserves better—not in 2028, but now.

The events following the 2023 elections were anything but transparent. Widespread irregularities, unanswered questions, and a conspicuous lack of accountability left the democratic soul of this nation wounded. The opposition, particularly the APC, had the mandate—no, the moral obligation—to stand firm, demand truth, and restore faith in the electoral process. And for a brief moment, it seemed they would.

But as time passed, that fire of resistance dimmed. Meetings turned into silence. Public declarations gave way to private deals. The hunger for justice was quietly replaced by the greed for position. In this betrayal, one voice refused to fade into the background—Samura Kamara’s.

A Man of Conviction:

Dr. Kamara’s unwavering commitment to electoral justice is not born from personal ambition but from a genuine love for country and the deep scars of injustice. Despite being falsely accused of receiving inducements to abandon the fight, Kamara has continued to show, through both word and deed, that he is unsold and unbroken.

Those who whisper these accusations, casting stones without evidence, do so not because they believe them, but because they fear the integrity of a man who refuses to bend. Dr. Kamara’s persistence threatens the comfortable lies that many APC elites have built for themselves. He reminds them of what they once stood for and now run from.

APC’s Deafening Silence:

Where is the APC in this crucial moment? Sadly, too many of its senior members are caught in the web of political positioning, jostling for influence ahead of 2028, as if the democratic infractions of 2023 were just a bad dream to be forgotten. Internal grudges, petty rivalries, and selfish ambitions have overtaken the collective mission.

The party, once a formidable force of resistance, is now splintered. The grassroots cry out for justice, for accountability, and for leadership. But in the halls of power, those cries are muffled by the sound of shuffling feet and closed-door negotiations. Dr. Samura Kamara, however, has refused to move on. He knows that without correcting the errors of 2023, 2028 is already compromised.

A Call to Conscience:

This is not merely a political matter—it is a moral one. If electoral injustice is allowed to stand unchallenged, then Sierra Leone’s democracy remains a fragile illusion. Dr. Kamara is not fighting for a personal rerun; he is fighting to preserve the soul of this nation’s electoral system. To ensure that when Sierra Leoneans vote, their voice is not erased by manipulation.

To ignore this fight is to condone the very forces that undermine democracy. To delay this struggle for a more “convenient” time is to abandon it altogether. The time for justice is now. The time to rally is now. The time for APC to cleanse itself of internal rot and stand united is now.

2028 Will Be Another Tragedy—Unless…:

If the APC leadership continues down its current path—trading resistance for relevance, principle for political access—2028 will not bring redemption. It will bring repetition. The party will once again find itself crying foul after the fact, lamenting a system they lacked the courage to challenge when it mattered.

The burden of blame will not rest solely on the ruling regime, but equally on those within APC who failed to rise above their own egos to support a just cause. If the party alienates or isolates Dr. Samura Kamara, it will not only lose a leader—it will lose its last vestige of integrity in the eyes of the people.

The People Are Watching:

Beyond the political elite, ordinary Sierra Leoneans are watching. They are not blind to who stood firm and who sold out. They see Dr. Kamara's consistency, his refusal to bow, his vision for a Sierra Leone where justice is not selective and elections are not ceremonial. The people are not looking for perfection—they are looking for authenticity. And in Dr. Samura Kamara, they see a man who still dares to believe.

This is a defining moment for the APC; it either rallies behind its most principled statesman and fight for electoral justice, or it can continue its descent into irrelevance, becoming a party of careerists instead of crusaders. History is being written now—not in 2028. And it will remember who stood, and who stepped aside.

Dr. Samura Kamara has done his part. He has refused to be silenced, refused to be bought, and refused to walk away. The question now is not about him—it is about the rest of the APC. Will they finally rise, or will they once again betray the trust of the people they claim to represent?

“Mr President, Fix This Bridge!” -Residents of Gbendembu Chiefdom
The Matehun Mayelagu Bridge in Gbendembu Chiefdom, Bombali District, that is located close to Gbendembu Town on the Makeni-Kamakwie highway is not only a literal death trap it is also a source of local and national embarrassment, a fatal comedy of errors, and a verdict against the Maada Bio regime for neglect of duty and campaign promises.

The condition of the bridge is so appalling that residents of Gbendembu Chiefdom and all who have gone through the arduous task of making the crossing say it is a life threatening ordeal.

But every day, young bike riders and others who are seriously desperate to get across from one side of the river to the other side make the life threatening crossing sometimes on their motorbikes or with the said bikes carried on the shoulders of four or more young men who make the crossing hauling the bike with load in tow over the other side of the riverbank.

Residents of the district who say they are hopeful that the bridge will one day be fixed - “although we don’t expect president Bio to do it for us” – are calling on the government, the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) party, civil society and members of the international community to be aware of the death trap in Makeni that desperate people who are eager to move their goods and services across the river are using every day risking health, life and or limb.

“The bridge looks like something out of a horror movie; one has to see it to believe it. What has really upset the citizens of Gbendembu town, that carries the same name as the chiefdom is that ever since president Maada Bio took over as head of state in 2018 promising massive infrastructural development projects and other job making activities, projects, and programmes for youth employment, no one has lifted a finger to fix this bridge that is a critical source of livelihood for the people of Makeni,” upset residents of Makeni informed this medium.

Nightwatch was informed that no matter the weather cars or other heavy vehicles are unable to cross the narrow bridge that looks big enough to accommodate only one motorbike with its rider and passengers at a time or per crossing.

“As you can see from the video on Facebook and social media is that there is the main bridge that is unusable or impassable for cars and trucks. The supplementary bridge set up that was put up as a means of improvising is made up of wooden slates that don’t even cover the entire area as towards the end you see the crossing ends and the motorbike and those young boys who walked across having to speed up more just to clear the makeshift bridge while those on foot had to jump to get to the other side of the bridge,” one of the concerned residents of Gbendembu Chiefdom observed.

Residents of the town in Makeni say because of the condition of the bridge nobody attempts to use it during the rainy season, “not pregnant women, not the injured, not school children or workers,” adding: “Everybody stay put!”

Speaking to one of the Councillors in the area he told nightwatch that the dilapidated bridge is not fit for use by humans, going as far as saying “not even animals should be forced to cross that river on that bridge.”

“The Matehu Mayelagu Bridge in Gbendembu Chiefdom, Bombali District is a spectacular display of government neglect of not only a campaign promise but also a whole people, chiefdom, and district. The bridge is a source of constant embarrassment for us especially when outsiders have to experience this. It is also a shame when those who had been overseas for a long time come home only to experience this. Many of the JCs will complain that the bridge was in a better condition when they last saw it decades ago than its present condition. The condition of this bridge looks like something straight out of ‘period film’ dealing with pre-independence Sierra Leone. The bridge looks like a relic from some bygone era. It is an insult to us as a people and a serious embarrassment. Although the president promised to fix roads across the country we can see that going on eight years after 2018 president Bio has failed the people of Makeni by neglecting this bridge,” the councillor informed this medium.

Meanwhile, residents of Bombali District that use the Matehu Mayelagu Bridge in Gbendembu Chiefdom complained that they have no choice despite the hazards associated with making the crossing but to use the bridge to get across, risking life and limb.

“Fixing this bridge is not about politics. As president of the Republic it is Bio’s duty to fix bridges across the country. Last time we checked Kamalo and Kamakwie are still part of Sierra Leone so it is the president’s duty to fix this mess. But the real problem here is that the neglect of this bridge is a fundamental flaw in how our party led government regimes work here in Sierra Leone. Was this bridge neglected because it is in the north, which is not a traditional SLPP stronghold? Is Makeni still not part of the Sierra Leone map? The president took an oath to protect the constitution and people. How is he fulfilling this promise after neglecting the Matehu Mayelagu Bridge in Gbendembu Chiefdom, Bombali District for over seven years?” one of the chiefdom residents asked nightwatch.

To the Sierra Leonean citizens who have to contend with being swept away by a raging river making the crossing at the Matehu Mayelagu Bridge, they say they have no choice but to compete with the fishes daily to eke a living despite all that is stacked up against them moving from one point of the chiefdom to the other.

“Almost all our road infrastructure needs some serious overhauling. If development is going to come Bombali District let it start with the Mayelagu Bridge. If and when they fix this death trap we call a bridge, then we know that real development has started,” a resident of Gbendembu Chiefdom concluded. Lonta!
