At around 11 am on Thursday, the Leading Flagbearer Aspirant of the Opposition All People’s Congress Party, Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, visited the family of the victims of the flood disaster that occured at New England Ville, where a fence collapsed and landed directly on a house, claiming the lives of four people. The victims were three children age a year and half, two and eight and a Grandmother of 72.
Upon his arrival, he was greeted by community residents, who were anxious to see their favorite Flagbearer Aspirant. He then visited the scene where the disaster occurred to have a first-hand account of what led to the collapse of the fence. He also had a brief discussion with the parents of the victims, and expressed his heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved, admonishing them to be strong and courageous, as this is a sad moment in their lives, having lost all their children to this tragic incident.
He later had a private meeting with the bereaved family, where he offered them a purse to assist in the funeral arrangement of the victims.
His vehicle was surrounded by constituents waiting to have a glimpse of the man many now refer to as the man of the moment, and the Messiah that will take the party to State House in 2028. With his signature smile, he calmly spoke to the people to continue their relentless support for his candidacy, and after having elected as Flagbearer, he will usher in a new era to the party, where everyone, irrespective of his or her status in society, will have a say in running the affairs of the party.
Having been a Peace and Conflict expert, he concluded by advising the people to be law abiding and stay out of violence, as peace is the ultimate that will lead to the nation’s development.
