PURIFICATION OF JERUSALEM (SIERRA LEONE):“Wash Yourselves, Cleanse Yourselves, And Remove Your Evil Deeds From My Sight. Stop Doing Evil. Learn To Do What Is Good. Purse Justice. Correct The Oppressor. Defend The Rights Of The Fatherless, Plead The Widows Cause. “Come Let’s Settle This”, Says The Lord. Though Your Sins Are Scarlet, They Will Be White As Snow, Though They Are Crimson Red, They Will Be Like Wool. If You Are Willing And Obedient, You Will Eat The Good Things Of The Land. But If You Refuse And Rebel, You Will Be Devoured By The Sword, For The Mouth Of The Lord Has Spoken” (Isaiah chapter 1 verses 16-20).
The apple of discord that was thrown by former President Koroma since he relinquished power in 2018 between the All Peoples Congress executive on one hand, and the Presidential candidate, Dr. Samura Kamara on the other hand has clearly reared its ugly head in our country’s body politic. This animosity has brought about heated debates among the rank and file of the citizenry across the country, and even beyond. The former President has totally soiled his image that even his home town of Makeni, is almost becoming a no go place for him as revelations continue to filter through. “The Faithful Town, What An Adulteress She Has Become. She Was Once Full Of Justice. Righteousness Once Dwelt In Her, But Now Murderers. Your Silver Has Become Dross To Be discarded, Your Beer Is Diluted With Water. Your Rulers Are Rebels, Friends Of Thieves, They All Love Graft And Chase After Bribes. They Do Not Defend The Rights Of The Fatherless, And The Widow’s Cases Never Comes Before Them”( Isaiah chapter 1 verses 21—23).
ERNEST’S SECRET PLANS FOR HIS SECOND COMING EXPOSED: The genesis of Ernest’s secret plans for his second coming was master-minded immediately he handed over power to president Bio in 2018, under controversial circumstances in the name of regime change. The grand plan was for him to clandestinely destroy the All Peoples Congress APC, with the ulterior motives of his return to his original party, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP. He remote controlled the senior executive members of the APC, using them as tools of destruction to bulldoze his way for his grand plan. According to sources close to senior members of the defunct PDP party, in their next delegate’s convention was the time Ernest Koroma was to be elected as the flag-bearer of that party, convincingly, to stand for another presidential bid in the proposed 2028 general elections. “Your Land Is Desolute,Your Cities Burned Down; Foreigners Devour Your Fields Right In front Of You—A Desolation, Like A Place Demolished By Foreigners. Daughter Zion Is Abandoned Like A Shelter In A Vineyard, Like A Shack In A Cucumber Field, Like A Besieged City. If The Lord Of Armies Had Not Left Us A Few Survivors, We Would Be Like Sodom, We Would Resemble Gomorrah”. (Isaiah chapter 1 verses 7—9).
Close to the June 24th 2023 multi-tier elections when it became crystal clear that former president Koroma had never wanted Dr. Samura Kamara to win the presidency of Sierra Leone, again, for the second time. After he had apologized to the APC support base for his sell-out to president Bio in 2018, and promised to bring the party back to power in 2023, no one suspected him of his ulterior motives that: “he was holding an axe to grind his chosen candidate in the APC convention of 2017”. Within a short period of time in his astute political wilderness, Dr. Samura Kamara had won a good number of up- rights thinking Sierra Leoneans across the country. People who believed in his sincerity, and traced his past good track records in the offices he had worked abroad, before returning home to contribute to the development of his country. “So Now, Residents Of Jerusalem And Men Of Judah, Please Judge Between Me And My Vineyard. What More Could I Have Done For My Vineyard Than I Did. Why, When I Expected A Yield Of Good Grapes, Did It Yield Worthless Grapes? Now I Will Tell You, What I Am About To Do To My Vine Yard: I Will Remove It’s Hedge, And It Will Be Consumed, I Will Tear Down Its Wall, And It Will Be Trampled (Isaiah ch 5 vs 3-5).
We entered the June 24th 2023 elections under constraints as the rigging was planned well ahead of the day itself.( The Mid Term Census, The PR System, The Poor Registration of Voters, The Poor Outlook Of The Voter ID Cards, just to name a few short comings. Former president Koroma never kept his promise of bringing back the party to power, as he had all the influence within his reach as: “Head of Electoral Monitoring Missions in Africa. He instead orchestrated the grand plan of manipulating the short-sighted executive of the APC, to join him in his crusade of “Satan’s Sadists”. “I Hate Your New Moons And Prescribed Festivals. They Have Become A Burden To Me; I Am Tired Of Putting Up With Them. When You Spread Out Your Hands In Prayer, I Will Refuse To Look At You, Even If You Offer Countless Prayers, I Will Not Listen. Your Hands Are Covered With Blood. (Isaiah chapter 1 verses 14—15).
“WE HAVE WON THE ELECTIONS, BUT LET US MOVE FORWARD TO AGENDA 2028”. The APC executive, headed by Alhaji Minkailu Mansaray as the chairman, and Alhaji Osman Foday Yansaneh as his deputy, had been baptized by the former president to forget about the controversial elections, and nurture the spirit of castigating Dr. Samura Kamara because he had gone to meet president Bio at his residence. As if they were blind-folded, they all joined the band wagon of betraying their political party, including their chosen parliamentarians; as most of them were loyal to the former president. Instead of them joining the presidential candidate to fight the “electoral justice crusade he has established”, they started beating about the bush with unrelated and unsubstantiated stories against him. This backstairs influence was exerted in an under-hand and clandestine manner, with his sole intention of destroying the All Peoples Congress party, to make a comeback to his former Peoples Democratic Party, as presidential candidate in the 2028 elections. “Listen, Heavens, And Pay Attention Earth, For The Lord Has Spoken: I Have Raised Children And Brought Them Up, But They Have Rebelled Against Me.The Ox Knows It’s Owner, And The Donkey Its Masters Feeding Trough, But Israel Does Not Know; My People Do Not Understand”(Isaiah chapter 1 verses 2—3).
ANTI-PARTY ACTIVITIES; WHO IS THE ARTITECT? To the former president’s loyalists, “What can you say about Fatima Bio’s outburst during the campaigns, accusing Ernest Koroma of not being loyal to the APC party”? She even went further to say that whatever discussions they held in their NAC meetings; he would convey the message to her husband, president Bio. She minced no words lambasting Ernest that he had never wanted Samura Kamara, or the APC party to win the presidential elections of June 24th 2023. What a bombshell to be attributed to a man who had ruled the nation for two consecutive terms, under the very party he now tries to diminish in the political annals of our nation! By his actions– “he has put a knife on the things that held the party as one, the center could no longer hold, and mere anarchy is loosed upon the mighty party, and now things are falling apart”!! “Why Do You Want More Beatings? Why Do You Keep Rebelling? The Whole Head Is Hurt, And The Whole Heart Is Sick. From The Soul Of The Foot Even To The Head, No Spot Is Uninjured—Wounds, Welts, And Festering Sores Not Cleansed, Bandaged, Or Soothed With Oil”(Psalm chapter 1 verses 5—6).
As philosophers say, “certainty is better than possibility; the little that one actually possesses is of greater value than what one is only likely to obtain. For members of the executive to have boasted that the election had gone in their favor, but for the same people to make a turn around, and took another twist of thought, clearly exposed them to the act of anti-party activities. This was demonstrated in the way the flag-bearer, who is fighting to restore ‘democracy in our electoral systems’ has been left alone in this just cause. What about the flag-bearer aspirants, who are parading up and down the country, making a mockery of themselves as intending flag-bearer candidates for the 2028 elections? Why can’t they join the flag- bearer in the collective fight for the redemption of our nation from bad politicians? “I Will Make It A Wasteland. It Will Not Be Pruned Or Weeded; Thorns And Briers Will Grow Up. I Will Also Give Orders To The Clouds That Rain Should Not Fall On It. For The Vineyard Of The Lord Of Armies Is The House Of Israel, And The Men Of Judah. The Plant He Delighted In, He Expected Justice But Saw Injustice. He Expected Righteousness, But Heard Cries Of Despair”.(Isaiah chapter 5 verses 6-7).
But, with the backing of die-hard grassroots members, and a good number of patriotic citizens, Dr. Samura Kamara is full of confidence that, as long as it is a fight for the good of Sierra Leone, with God on his side, he is optimistic of “cleansing the Augean stables”. He has received too many embarrassments from his party executives, for his stance for the truth and justice. THEY HOLD DIFFERENT VIEW ABOUT HIS CONCEPT, BECAUSE; THEY HAVE BEEN DRAFTED TO PARTAKE INTO THE UNKNOWN, AND FRUITLESS JOURNEY OF “SATANIC SADISTS,” BY THE NOW INFAMOUS FORMER PRESIDENT ERNEST KOROMA ,TO KILL DEMOCRACY, AND DESTROY THE MIGHTY POLITICAL PARTY THAT BROUGHT HIM TO PROMINENCE ON PLANET EARTH!! “The Lord Rises To Argue The Case And Stands To Judge The People. The Lord Brings This Charge Against The Elders And Leaders Of His People: You Have Devastated The Vineyard. The Plunder From The Poor Is In Your Houses. Why Do You Crush My People And Grind The Faces Of The Poor? This Is The Declaration Of The Lord God Of Armies. (Isaiah chapter 3 verses 13—15).
