The chairman of the All People Congress APC Elders Committee in constituency '112' Mr. Mohamed Sillah has expressed dissatisfaction over the three female party representatives in Lumley constituency '112' and wards 393/394 in both central and local governments respectively, and called for quality representation come 2012 if the party is to retain its support in that constituency.
Mr. Mohamed Sillah in a swift reaction based his points on the series of complaints and views of party supporters and sympathizers in the constituency that the political acrimony among the teaming politicians representing APC in Lumley constituency '112' has totally disappointed members in that area.
Mr. Sillah explaining further in his statement said that the three politicians representing the party and the people choose to tread the dangerous path of malice and hatred for themselves, as part of their desperate and blind efforts to cover up their behaviours always at each other's throat and diverting their attention from development in the constituency.
The chairman maintained that it is sheer mischief for our political opponents in the constituency to use as weapon, that our representatives cannot point finger in any developmental projects or programme proposals in line with the president and leader of APC'S call for attitudinal change for development.
They are always at political high tables to settle their indifferences and hatredness Mr. Sillah affirmed.
Mr. Sillah noted that after the 2007 elections that ushered them as Honourable member and councillors representing Lumley. There has always been political indifferences among them, which has attracted the attention of senior members of the party, and elders in the constituency and even a high powered delegation from the party secretariat led by then National Organizing Secretary of the party M.L. Bangura and the chairlady of APC Party Women's Wing Mrs. Mans at a peace talk held at the Pasande Hall in 2009.
The party is left disorganized and their best is to put in place factional chairladies and chairmen for their selfish political motives, living the constituency with too many chairmen and ladies (Mr. Sillah lamented that members of the elders committee were molested and marginalized in the process.
However Mr. Sillah expressed readiness of elders to come on board once more, not to allow the popularity of the party to loose grounds as other political party activist are on the move to win the sit come 2012.
Mr. chairman in no uncertain terms, has declared that electorates at constituency '112' are ready to accommodated quality representation with reputable candidates to answer to the president's call for national development this time around, and to more the constituency forward if the party is to win.
However elders Mr. SIllah said derive what he described as the erosion of their duties to the electorates and party members, as he puts it APC in the centre cannot afford to be biased this time in awarding the party symbols to credible candidates.
He regretted that section of the membership especially the fifteen zones, with too many political chairman/ladies has ultimately made administration of the party in constituency '112' frustrating and difficult by the manners and interlocutory orders coming from the three female politicians representing APC in constituency '112'.
Mr. Mohamed Sillah however said the accusations, coming from the heels of the shameful and unpatriotic acts by the politicians, is yet another ploy by the three politicians to create bad blood and acrimony among their divided supporters, constituency wide.
For the avoidance of doubt APC is a well organized political party. He has more noble and honourable ways of expanding its followership without resorting to dishonourable and underhanded fact is with the right candidate, Mr. Sillah concluded.
