Bra Parrot is a very clever bird, the brave bird saw it all coming as to whom Dr. Samura Kamara and by extension the party will appoint to be the running-mate.
The man who has just been appointed to be running mate to Samura Kamara, according to findings of the brave Bra parrot, has been questioned so many times in terms of his performance in Parliament.
Bra Parrot always wants to get first hand and credible information, so the brave bird sounded the views of senior party members of the All Peoples Congress (APC) party about the appointment of Chericoco as running mate to the APC presidential hopeful.
To the dismay of the brave bird, the person Bra Parrot spoke to said and I quote, “ I am a plain preacher and I am not in support of his appointment because he is not honest to the party, many a time whenever there are very serious debates in the House of Parliament, the now running-mate is either absent or will boycott as a majority and opposition Leader.
Bra Parrot went to the APC Headquarters along Old railway line to get more views on the issue, the jubilant mood Bra Parrot was expecting to meet party members and supporters after the announcement of the running mate did not turn out to be so, meaning the people were not happy with the appointment of Chericoco.
Bra Parrot was also fortunate to talk to one key supporter from the south-east region and this is what he said and I quote, “we have been marginalized completely, Dr. Samura Kamara is from north-west and Chericoco is from the west meaning that we in the south-east have been left alone.
Bra Parrot flew to Makeni to get the views of the former president, leader and chairman of the APC party, but Bra Parrot was not allowed to see the ‘Pa’, and the brave bird was even asked, “did you have appointment with him?”
Bra Parrot came back to Freetown to talk to the newly elected chairman, Minkailu Mansaray to get first hand views, again the brave bird was prevented from seeing the national Chairman.
As Bra Parrot is a very courageous bird, he tried again to see the newly elected Secretary General, Lawyer Lansana Dumbuya Esq again to no avail.
Bra Parrot went back sadly to its usual sitting place thinking what to do next.
Notwithstanding all the frustrations, the brave bird contacted a very senior member of the party, and this is what the member has to say, and I quote, “I am not in support of Chericoco’s appointment to be the running mate, but the APC is bigger than all of us, I will go with what the party say.”
Bra Parrot sounded the views of other party supporters, some are in support of his appointment others are against the appointment, taken into consideration the regional balance and his performance in Parliament.
Bra Parrot contacted a female member of the APC, she said the APC is not serious in doing things, and from the look of things, they are not serious in winning the 2023 elections
