An ‘Angel in Disguise’ to save Mama Salone
In the intricate dance of politics, “many are called, but few are chosen.” As Shakespeare once said in Macbeth: “If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, Speak then to me.” The APC stands at a crossroads with many potential candidates, but the question remains: who among them can truly lead the party back to power and leave a lasting legacy?
One name that stands out is Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, a man whose time has come. Like the seed in Macbeth, he possesses the potential to grow and bring lasting change to the APC and Sierra Leone. His leadership is backed by over 18 years of experience in peacebuilding, conflict resolution, socio-economic reintegration, transitional justice, security sector reform, and human rights among others. He has worked in countries such as South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and serves as a facilitator for the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre in Ghana. Since 2010, he has been a consultant for European Union-funded projects across over 30 African countries.
Academically, Dr. Bangura holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and History, a Master’s in Gender Studies, another Master’s in International Development, and a Doctorate in Economics. His qualifications, combined with his experience, position him as the ideal candidate to lead the APC and Sierra Leone toward a prosperous future. His candidacy is not only timely but the answer to the APC’s and the nation’s urgent need for transformation. He embodies the vision, leadership, and foresight needed to navigate challenges and cultivate a prosperous future for both the APC and Sierra Leone.
Dr. Bangura is more than just a candidate for the APC; he is the leader Sierra Leone needs to bring about the transformation the country has long sought. With a focus on unity, stability, and economic prosperity, he is the key to rejuvenating the APC. As the party prepares for its National Delegates Conference, it is clear that Dr. Bangura is not just the leader for today, but for the future. His candidacy is the answer to the nation’s urgent need for transformation.
The APC needs a candidate who can unite a fractured nation, restore stability to a turbulent political landscape, and ignite economic growth in a country hungry for change. Dr. Bangura exemplifies the resilience required to lead through adversity. The weight of Sierra Leone’s challenges will not deter him; he views these obstacles as opportunities to demonstrate his capability and transform the country into the prosperous, unified nation it deserves.
Dr. Bangura understands that leadership requires collaboration, respect, and the ability to heal divides. His unique position, bridging generations, makes him a rare unifying force capable of bringing diverse voices together for the common good. He brings a wealth of expertise to the table, including leadership roles at Fourah Bay College and Transition International Netherlands, demonstrating his intellectual depth and practical understanding of governance, development, and human rights.
Unlike others who may engage in petty politics, Dr. Bangura’s leadership is focused on long-term solutions that address the root causes of Sierra Leone’s challenges. Under his guidance, the APC will seek power not just for power’s sake, but as an opportunity to create a lasting legacy built on unity, stability, and economic prosperity. His leadership will restore the APC to power, ensuring the party remains relevant, focused, and prepared to govern in a dynamic world.
Dr. Bangura’s leadership will not only restore the APC to power but will also lay the foundation for a future that is a beacon of hope for the nation. He is the leader who can transform the APC into a party that attracts admiration and inspires action. His candidacy is not just a political move; it is a strategic step towards reviving the dreams of the people and securing a brighter future for all Sierra Leoneans.
As the APC prepares for its National Delegates Conference, it must ask itself: who among the potential candidates is best positioned to lead the party into this new era? Dr. Bangura’s youth, energy, and experience make him the ideal candidate to win elections and lead Sierra Leone through today’s challenges into tomorrow’s prosperity.
In this critical moment, the APC has the opportunity to choose a leader who embodies the values of unity, integrity, and forward-thinking solutions. Dr. Bangura is the leader who will return the APC to power, unite the country, and leave a lasting legacy that defines the future of Sierra Leone.
