Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>New party strongman for the main opposition, All People\u2019s Congress (APC) party, Shiek Mohamed Kamara, popularly known as Jagaban, has responded to President Bio\u2019s recent allegation of calling him a foolish man.<\/p>\n

<\/a>President Bio made this statement during a campaign rally in Blama, a town located in the southern region of Sierra Leone, where Jagaban was campaigning for the upcoming June 24th, 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

In his response, Jagaban began by expressing his curiosity about the meaning of being labeled a foolish man.<\/p>\n

He proceeded to refute President Bio\u2019s claim by citing various development initiatives he claimed to have spearheaded in the Blama community.<\/p>\n

Jagaban proudly declared, \u201cIf I am a foolish man and I am paying Imams and Pastors at Blama, thank God I want to be a foolish man.\u201d<\/p>\n

He emphasized that if providing financial support to religious leaders and paying teachers without a pin code in Blama were characteristics of a foolish man, he gladly embraced the title.<\/p>\n

Expanding on his achievements, Jagaban highlighted his contributions towards the construction of a hospital and the development of roads in Blama. These accomplishments, he argued, further validated his willingness to be associated with the term \u201cfoolish man.\u201d<\/p>\n
