As it has been part of his daily voluntary schedule to fly the length and breadth of the country to get correct, accurate and up to date information to pass on to the people, the Patient Bird has however realized that despite that effort, he is not loved by some people.
But of course that is nothing to Bra Parrot as he considers such ingrate attitude as very common in nature that, not everyone will love everybody.
Few days ago the wise bird was around the Brookfields area to visit a friend and also to get some facts from him on national issues and fortunately he was opportune to go to the All People’s Congress (APC) party headquarters at Old Railway Line, Brookfields in Freetown.
Of course everybody is aware that Bra Parrot is a friend of all the political parties and their supporters and sympathizers in the country.
Upon arrival at the APC party office, Bra Parrot overheard members and supporters alike talking about an emergency National Delegates’ Conference to be held shortly.
As usual the wise bird drew nearer to get more on the topic. A senior member of the party (name withheld) was saying the party is planning to hold an emergency National Delegates Conference (NDC) next month.
He further explained that, the purpose is to discuss some of the party’s current and upcoming political activities and to also decide on Dr. Samura Kamara’s official mandate following the end of his term as Leader.
However, he said the venue and date for the conference is yet to be confirmed.
The brave bird knows that, the last National Delegates Conference in Makeni was attended by approximately 1,600 Delegates countrywide.
The intelligent wise bird was very quick to turn the pages of the APC National Constitution to see whether there is provision for holding an emergency National Delegates Conference.
However, Article 18(e) of the APC National Constitution of 2021 makes provision that: ‘An emergency National Delegates Conference may be convened as and when necessary at the request of the National Advisory Committee’.
In his curiosity, Bra Parrot then contacted the Secretary General of the party Lawyer Lansana Dumbuya, on his cell phone number and even sent him a text message but unfortunately he replied that he was in a meeting but promised to get on to us but up to the time of going to press he did not call to respond.
We are still waiting.
