Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Few months into conducting Presidential, Parliamentary and Municipal Elections, the Leader of the Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party, Rt. Brig. Julius Maada Bio and First Lady Fatima Maada Bio, as well as the hierarchy of the Party welcomed 10 Councillors , 4 Regional Executives from the Coalition for Change Party (C4C); hundreds of other supporters from the main opposition All People\u2019s Congress Party (APC), and the National Grand Coalition , including the Limba Community and support groups, into the ruling SLPP.<\/p>\n

The welcoming of the new members took place during the turning of the sod for the construction of the SLPP office in Koidu City, in Kono District on Saturday 4th February 2023.<\/p>\n

Welcoming the converts, His Excellency, President Julius Maada Bio commended the Regional Executive of the party for working hard to persuade the Councilors to return to the great SLPP whilst calling on all party members nationwide to embrace the new members and show them love in the SLPP way as he dubbed it: \u201cOne Country One People.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Bio assured the new members of the party a peaceful welcome adding that they would be treated as one in the family.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the Councilors, Councilor Brima Moigua of Ward 095 explained that it was due to the development programs the President and his Government have done for the district over the years that convinced them to join the SLPP party adding that like the new Kono University, the 24-hour light system, the construction of major roads, and bridges within the district, among others.<\/p>\n

He admitted that their declarations are to help the President and the SLPP win the 2023 election on the first ballot and to strengthen the SLPP support within the Kono District.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was chaired by an astute daughter of the soil, First Lady Dr. Fatima Maada Bio.<\/p>\n
