Everything under the sun has its own time; when the time comes, nobody or group of people will stop it.
The Wise Bird, many a time, hears people say there is time for every purpose, time to be born, time to die, time to sleep, time to wake-up, time to be employed and time to be sacked.
The Wise Bird could still remember when the former Vice President Chief Sam Sumana was sacked from office. There were mixed feelings among party supporters. Some people were happy others were sad and that’s life.
Because of the painful nature of his sacking at the time Sam went and formed his own party failing to think that he would come back one day.
The Wise Bird did not hold anything against him, maybe at the time he did what he did, he did that at the hit of anger.
But having realized that what he did was wrong and that the APC is part of him and he is part of the APC, so he has decided to make a come-back to join the train.
Finally, finally the Executive of the party and by extension the National Advisory Committee (NAC) has seen reasons to formally accept him as a brother and a comrade to the party.
The Wise Bird will say clearly that, this is a show of magnanimity and furthermore to show that APC is a family party as it believes no one region, section, district or tribe will win an election.
The Wise Bird saw all the intimidations, harassments, victimization of the main opposition APC party since the ruling government came to power in 2018 and its negative effects on the economy of the country up-to-date.
The Wise Bird as usual wants to get the views of other people, so the bird went out to sound the views of both supporters of the APC and SLPP even non-party members in respect of the acceptance of Chief Sam Sumana back to the APC party.
One senior member of the APC was very quick to state that, Chief Sam Sumana is a very decent person; the only thing that angers some of them then was that he left APC and formed another party by way of dividing the APC. “But now that he is back we welcome him whole-heartedly,” he said.
The senior member went further to say that he only hopes that Sam coming back is genuine and it is in the best interest of the party.
Other party members had expressed similar sentiments on his return.
To the SLPP some members the Wise Bird spoke to said they too wanted Chief Sam Sumana to join the SLPP because he has control over Kono and Kono is a deciding factor when it comes to an election.
The SLPP member also stated that APC is very quick to see the writing on the wall; it is a very good decision the APC had taken and that the decision came at the right time to bring back Chief Sam Sumana to the fold. “This is without prejudice,” the SLPP-man concluded.
As the Wise Bird always calls things by their correct and proper names and at the right time, that is more the reason the Bird is so much loved and respected by the people he represents.
The brave bird is not making a case for anybody nor is he talking for and on behalf of anybody only that he likes reporting the facts as the fact is a fact in any way.
