In Mabamba, Masongbo, Madif and Masama villages, Mabamba section, Safroko Limba Chiefdom. We didn’t only restate reasons for voting Dr. Samura Kamara on the 27th March, we took time listening to concerns from the community. We also had the opportunity to intensify the voter education processes which is key if we are to avoid void votes.

We keep making the points that we have moved miles away in growth due to the efforts of this APC led government. When elected again, we shall continue to do more. Beautifully part of the team is one of the four councilors. Also speaking in all our engagements were John Baimba Sesay, Charles Yappo Conteh and myself, Julius Bambay Kamara all natives of the Chiefdom.

As natives of this Chiefdom, this is part of our personal efforts and supports to the campaign efforts! Our Sierra Leone, our responsibility!

We cannot afford to have someone who has openly admitted to torture and extra-judicial killing as our next President

Sierra Leone has over the last ten years, come a long way in her healing process, more specifically given her dark days of military dictatorship in the early 1990s that was marred with torture and extra-judicial killings. As a nation, we have been working on healing the wounds inflicted on us following the overthrow of a democratically elected government by a rogue regime of small military boys, with the side of corrupt and selfish power thirst civilians. Their love for power and disdain for human life led to some sort of revengeful killings, leaving hundreds if not thousands of families in tears with hopeless hopes of a better and brighter future. This was what NPRC, under the watchful eyes of people like Julius Maada Bio left with us some years back and still haunting our nation.

The extra-judicial killings of those civilians and fine country serving military and police officers in 1992 by the NPRC will forever hunt those who directly or otherwise partook in that dastardly act. And until they one day either here or the world after, find solace in repenting for their criminal acts, even the angel of death will find it hard to let go that chapter. And the God we worship, if they ever so, will be watching them with regret having created them.

That said, with President Ernest Bai Koroma as father of the nation and Fountain of Honour, we have witnessed how the beauty of true democratic dispensation has helped in the healing process over the years. Sierra Leone, for the very first time, could boast of a government and a President whose hands are not stained with blood, with no political prisoner, even as he prepares to retire in a couple of days. This is what we have got in the leadership of President Koroma.

Today, we are at the cross-road of deciding the nation's path for the next 5 years, from the perspective of electing someone to succeed the current President. In doing so, we are faced with the choice of choosing between Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara, a progressive mind, having seriously impacted on our development process, and Julius Maada Bio who could be remembered for his role in the NPRC extra-judicial killings and the overthrow of democratic government.

Our seriousness as a nation more so if we are to continue to be seen as such by the rest of the world, particularly our development partners, must be demonstrated by our choice of President.

Dr. Samura Kamara remains humble, honest and truthful, and has so far been a true reflection of someone that has sacrificed so much for this country, having served as Financial Secretary, Governor of the Central Bank, Minister of Finance and Economic Development under whose tenure Sierra Leone witnessed a boom in its economy and was rated amongst the fastest growing economies of the world. He later served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Corporation during which period, Sierra Leone realized a rapid improvement in diplomatic relations in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Asia. It was specifically under the tenure of Dr. Samura Kamara as Foreign Minister that we improved our diplomatic ties with China to a Comprehensive Strategic Level.

Now, let us compare that to Julius Maada Bio, a self styled Brigadier, who had publicly confessed to taking part in the torture and extra-judicial killing of 29 innocent Sierra Leoneans, including a pregnant woman. Someone who has been blacklisted and banned from entering the United States of America based on his human rights record. This same man has been jobless for over 20 years.

As a people we cannot risk going back to the dark days we had gone through. We have to demonstrate to the rest of the world that we are a nation determined to develop. And we can do this by voting Dr. Samura Kamara as our next President. We will be turning our back to the rest of the world if we make the mistake of voting as President, Julius Maada Bio who is a well known human rights abuser and has been blacklisted by the West.

History will not judge us kindly if we do not make the right choice in this election. We will be betraying our children and our children's children. What message will we be sending to the rest of the world? When other nations are putting on trial perpetrators of human rights abuse, we are hailing and rewarding them with leadership positions, jeopardizing our future and that of our future generation. Let us go out on March 27th 2018 and reject Julius Maada Bio, just like we rejected him in 2012. Let us use our ballots to send a strong message that one cannot spill the blood of the innocent and go free.

Long live Sierra Leone
Long live democracy, peace and human right.

Vice President Foh Storms Port Loko ahead of final rally

Friday 2nd March, 2018:
The Hon. Vice President, Victor Bockarie Foh is presently in the Port Loko District, ahead of the APC's final day campaign rally, slated for Saturday 3rd March, 2018.

In an event ahead of the final day of rally, the APC Organising Secretary for North-West, Abubakarr Konteh, commonly known as DJ. Boxx presented to the Vice President 68 Port Loko indigenes from various Political Parties who recently declared for the All People's Congress.

The event, which took place at the residence of the Minister of Works, Housing and Infrastructure, Hon. Kemoh Sesay was witnessed by veteran APC politician, Pa Y T. Sesay and former Members of Parliament from the District.

Vice President Foh after holding consultative meetings with Party Executives and stakeholders from Mangae and Mambolo Chiefdoms, also visited Masimera to address party executives and supporters in the chiefdom.

Addressing the people at a meeting in Masimera, VP Foh admonished them that whoever does not stand under the APC symbol must not be regarded as APC and must therefore not be voted for.

Chanting the slogan "when we are up, we are up, when we are down, we are down, when you are against the APC you are upside down" he said the people must work hard to win the 10 constituencies for the APC. He said those disgruntled with the Party for not giving them the Party symbol to look at him and the other 16 Presidential Aspirants as examples.

Power, the Vice President said, comes from God and that whoever the Party has chosen must be supported, as the Party, he said is bigger than any individual.

Speaking further, VP Foh said, the true spirit of an apc comrade is patience and tolerance. A true comrade he said, does not allow the sun to go down on his or her anger.

The APC, he said is the only combra Party in the country and therefore warned that if supporters allow the Party to fall, the country will fall back to the days of retribution and extra judicial killings. There is virtue, he said, in patience.

Vice President Foh Calls on Fourah Bay College to be Responsive to Local and Global Environments

The Honorable Vice President, Victor Bockarie Foh has said, that whilst Fourah Bay College has had huge successes that may be remarkable, “challenges have also persisted” and was therefore hopeful, that over the years it has also equipped itself to address the challenges of a 21st century academic institution that will be responsive to the needs of the local and global environments.

Vice President Victor Bockarie Foh spoke on Tuesday 20th February, 2018 whilst delivering a statement at a flag-raising ceremony on the 191st Foundation Day of Fourah Bay College, at the Adjai Crowther Amphitheater.

According to Vice President Foh, Fourah Bay College can only grow from success to success and achieve “great feats and become a centre of excellence by being of service” to the country and beyond. This, he said, can only be done “by breaking new academic and moral grounds, and by becoming competitive in all endeavours.”

The foundation of Fourah Bay College 191 years ago, the Vice President said, was based on the mandate of providing Christian Education. “It was to train would-be Clergy and Teachers, so that they in turn impact the knowledge of God... to Africans who by and large were Traditionalists...”

Speaking on the university’s achievements, thousands of people, the Vice President said, have passed through the “walls” of the institution, including himself as an alumnus with registration number 4012(1965-1969). Several facilities, he said, have been created and recreated over the years and that “from an academic staff of probably less than ten (10) expatriates in the first year, we now have well over two Hundred (200) purposefully qualified Sierra Leonean staff in almost all fields of endeavours.”

Concluding, the Vice President said, as the College celebrates 191 years of existence, there is the need to “travel along with the values of our founding fathers, namely THE FEAR OF GOD.”

Also speaking at the Foundation Day Ceremony were Anthony Koroma, Commissioner at the National Youth Commission, the President of the Academic Staff Association, the Registrar of the University of Sierra Leone, the Ag. Deputy Vice-Chancellor and the Ag. Vice Chancellor and Principal of the University of Sierra Leone.
