After a brutal election defeat, protracted lies and disinformation, the Opposition APC Party is already disliked as the De- facto establishment is waging a battle for authority in the Opposition APC Party whose problems are real but fundamentally a problem of expectation.
The struggle for the leadership in the Grand Old Party has started to be seen as weird as despondent Party supporters exuding deep anger and fury over the leadership direction of their Party.
With the unfolding leadership saga, there is a clear sign of a cognitive dissonance within the hierarchy of the Party dominated by the lack of truth. Is chaos a part of A PC? Because it seems nothing going on well as usual as rival factions are shelling on each other, rather than talking about a sweeping Vision in fixing the Constitutional problems within the Party.
Is this situation a political inflection for the Opposition APC Party that will embroiled into another repeat of the 2023 factional turmoil in the Party?. As situation is Unfolding, the party might be facing another political predicament due to the looming leadership crisis.
The De – Facto establishment of the party has bent on a bogus and unattainable plan to make sure that the crisis in the party lingers on so as to keep the establishment going. This is a glaring indication that, they are defiant to their lax and flawed policies, and evading the responsibility of keeping the party in the cockpit of Opposition.
Samura Wilson Kamara and his De- facto establishment are anti-democratic and their ineptness to respect the constitution of the Party have precipitated large scale discontent amongst party supporters who were dejected by the agony and humiliation of the 2023 general election.
The Opposition APC Party’s Current establishment is using the Party as hostage to their plethora of failure, and is now busy forming a cohort coalition to glue themselves by propaganda and demagoguery so as to keep themselves at the helm of the Party.
But the big question now , Is there any doom and gloom the Apcians can take from their party leadership, or Is this the dead – end tactic of the De- facto establishment?.
The APC Party is Currently facing a long and hard road to governance and it’s evidently going to be a miserable journey.
It’s time the Party should do all it can to address and appease the loss trust of the electorates. This is a belated wake – up call for the Party which should be loud and clear, and as a condition to the existential crisis whereby internal Unity should be a priority.
The Opposition All People’s Congress Party is currently suffering from the specter of Ernest Bai Koroma and the punishment beating of their miserable eleven years austerity rule. But some liberalist of the Grand Old Party still think the leadership of their Party is a prize worth having as the looming leadership politics in the Party seems doomed to remain in the Opposition for the foreseeable future.
In a recent flurry of Social media blogging, the politics of the APC Party is still engaged in the old traditional politics of a wide range of misinformation, lies, propaganda and deceit.
They are always busy inciting Civil war and mutiny as a drumbeat part of a deception that their Shibboleths has been bashing on with all the political storms that their party is engulfed in.
The distrustful atmosphere in the Grand Old Party is the product of unconstitutionality and the ignorance of some party stalwart who is deliberately refusing to acknowledge the grave concern in the party due to their self-interest, and compounded by their assertion and simplistic distortions in the party.
In a turbulent political party like the APC Party, politics is not for the honest and faint – hearted people because there is always a controversy and feud which is inevitable. Samura Wilson Kamara hasn’t helped himself either or the Grand Old Party because he has exasperated many political opponents and supporters within the Party.
Politicians and Supporters of the Grand Old Party must be patriotic and put Country above all else. They must always be less partisan and jingoistic. The politicians should put aside the fervid days of feud and rivalry and grab the desire to reset the party for the involvement of all party supporters and members that will nurture full cooperation of all party members.
The Party has been in a protracted crisis that has dwindled its membership. How can the Current leadership Scramble be described in the APC Party? The long and traditional proud history of the Grand Old Party has been trashed by its very self. The Party should now be careful of their desperate ambition for power as their ruthlessness and hunger for governance might lead them to a problem of a dramatic and predictable setback that may fall on the party.
With the unfolding leadership saga, there is a clear sign of a cognitive dissonance within the hierarchy of the Party dominated by the lack of truth. Is chaos a part of the APC Party? Because it seems nothing going on well as usual as rival factions are shelling on each other, rather than talking about a sweeping Vision in fixing the Constitutional problems in the party.
The Opposition APC Party should move out of their festival of mass delusion and go back to the drawing board. Are they capable of reasoning out how profoundly they have lost the support of the people of Sierra Leone? Or are they still embroiled in the flames of the former President Ernest Bai Koroma that doom them to the perpetual New Direction rule?
The De- facto establishment has stomped over the dignity of the APC Party politicians and supporters. They have been spewing out false and fake information over the Social media. What have the party learnt from the experience of their fake and unfulfilled promises, and the discontent they have ignited amongst the party supporters?
They have shattered so many democratic and political norms that have makes the Party cocoons to remain in the crucible cockpit of Opposition, and now turned the party into a lethargic political institution.
With peace and reconciliation seems unwilling to be embraced by the Apcians who are still reaping the harvest of their political disaster, the supporters and members of the political elites still lacks the self – reflection to acknowledge the damage they have done to their Party which they should all be worried about in a febrile time of the history of the All People’s Congress Party ( APC ).
The Grand Old Party should learn from their leadership mistakes and look for a politician with a real clout and of a multiple personalities that epitomizes the hollowness of the former leadership.
It is now a great challenge and a daunting task of how to handle the reform process in the APC Party as the Chums and Vanquished political liars are all determined not to be jeopardized as the contest for supremacy in the APC party is now between Party loyalists and the Roundheads.
If ever the Opposition APC Party can get to governance, they have to embrace reform and Change, if not they will be consigned into Oblivion.
And the big question now is who can help the APC to take its fleeting hope to governance? Alfred Peter Conteh? Or who else? It’s all remains be seen as the Apcians are on the race against time!
!! LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE OF SIERRA LEONE
!! GOD BLESS US ALL!!
