Residents of Kambia district have assured the All People’s Congress (APC) Party Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mathew Wilson Samura Kamara of a resounding victory in the coming June 2023 elections.
Dr. Samura Kamara accompanied by top APC Party stalwart hits Kambia district with a welcome from the people of Kambia. The team had a stopover at a town called ‘Bamoi Luma’ en route to Kambia town itself and the people came out to welcome them.
Addressing his supporters, Dr. Samura Kamara said: “In 2018, I came to you with an honest heart and sincere intentions for Our Country and asked for your votes to lead this country as your President.
“With my many years of experience and knowledge in National Governance, I said to you then, that leading this country would not be as easy as my opponents may have wanted you to believe.
“I stood before God and man and promised not to lie to you, nor to run my campaign under false promises, just to get your votes. Many of you did not know me well at that time.
“Today, my fellow Sierra Leoneans, I come to you, once again, having finalised my official nomination at the Electoral Commission Sierra Leone (EC-SL), as the presidential candidate for the All Peoples Congress (APC) Party.
“Let me take this moment to thank the Former Chairman and Leader, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, All the delegates, and the entire membership of the APC party for giving me yet another opportunity to contest for the Presidency of this great nation under the APC ticket in 2023”.
Dr. Samura Kamara went on; “on April 27, our great nation marked its 62nd anniversary of independence. Sixty-two long years; today, our nation remains worse off in virtually every indicator of human development.
Sierra Leone’s bright future at independence has been squandered largely through poor leadership, bad governance, and the supremacy of partisan and divisive politics over national development.
“In the coming days, I will lay before you a participatory and people-centred Party Manifesto with proposed policy interventions on both the immediate to short-term as well as the medium to long-term challenges our country faces.
“As you listen to me today, as you struggle and go about on the hustle, trying to take care of your families, I want to be honest with you; the challenges we face, both now and for a shared future, are not easy to fix, and I cannot do it alone.
“I need us all to unite and work together to build our country. I know it has been a particularly frustrating last few years, having a government that does not care for or listen to its people. I am humble enough to consult, listen and learn from you.”
