Letter to the Secretary General of the APC
Dear Secretary General:
I write this letter to boost sure considerations that significantly threaten the very existence of our wonderful get together, particularly as inside feuds throughout the get together are sadly changing into commonplace.
Mr. Secretary General, as a member of the APC get together, it saddens me to notice that pointless divisions inside our get together stand at variance with the goals and goal for which our founding fathers shaped the APC. The disastrous division of the get together into Team A and Team B clearly speaks volumes, additionally clearly dividing our get together. This just isn’t the APC we knew.
The divisions inside our get together are additional intensified by the emergence of a brand new tradition of indiscipline as we now have allowed social media to dismember the fame of our get together.
The final result of the 2023 election has immediately grow to be a curse to our get together; and the get together has immediately disintegrated right into a Samura Kamara camp and an APC govt camp.
Mr. Secretary General, it might seem that the get together in its current state lacks the capability to introduce disciplinary mechanisms throughout the get together and on the identical time unite the varied teams because the get together continues to disintegrate.
The Samura Kamara Presidential candidature has grow to be critical and topical as the manager of our get together appears to counsel that the tenure of Dr. Samura Kamara as APC flagbearer for the 2023 Presidential election has ended. Dr. Samura Kamara, alternatively, refuses to yield to the nationwide govt’s place of shifting in direction of the 2028 elections.
What a confusion for a celebration that’s greater than 60 years outdated!
This confusion inside our get together, which clearly creates the impression that there is no such thing as a decisive determination on essential get together issues akin to electoral flagbearer points, is appalling.
This is clearly a catastrophe for our get together as it is rather apparent that we now have created two halves inside our get together, with two leaderships.
The solely approach out, and I dare state as a matter of urgency, that the get together ought to convene an emergency National Delegates’ Conference or an all-inclusive expanded NAC assembly to resolve these excellent points which can be threatening the survival of our get together.
Firstly, the matter of the damaging Team A and Team B ought to be mentioned at such a celebration conference or an expanded NAC session.
Secondly, the standing of Dr. Samura Kamara because it pertains to the 2023 flagbearership of the get together should even be brazenly and totally mentioned because the arguments and counter-arguments concerning the standing of Samura Kamara are inhibiting the progress of the get together.
Thirdly, the membership of the get together ought to take a better have a look at the get together structure in an effort to make amendments which can be crucial to advertise democracy and inclusiveness throughout the get together.
Mr. Secretary General, the APC was shaped on the idea of social justice and inclusiveness; however I have to state that probably the most pointless divisions and collapse of self-discipline throughout the get together, threaten the way forward for our wonderful get together.
The current management of the APC, particularly the chairman and the Deputy Chairman who’re among the most skilled members of the APC in the intervening time are appeared upon by the vast majority of the followership of the get together to take the APC again to State House. And subsequently, the general public expects them to make the most of their expertise to deliver again peace and unity inside our get together.
Mr. Secretary General, as I conclude, could I state that the APC in its current state of disarray can hardly participate in an especially aggressive election and clinch the Presidency.
If the get together loses another Presidential election, particularly in 2028, it might be pretty much as good as saying goodbye to our wonderful get together.
And this why I request very humbly an pressing hanging of heads by get together leaders to deliver our get together again to a state of normalcy.
Comrade Ibrahim Ben Kargbo
