Opposition Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party (SLPP) strongman, Mohamed A. Sandy, is the latest to openly endorse the candidature of John Oponjo Benjamin (JOB), who is seeking re-election for the position of National Chairman and Leader of the SLPP.<\/p>\n
M A Sandy who contested against JOB and attained second position during the March 2009 national officers\u2019 elections of the SLPP, over the weekend, announced in Kenema that he was \u201cone hundred percent in support of JOB\u2019s re-election bid\u201d.<\/p>\n
Confirming his decision to back John Benjamin\u2019s bid, M A Sandy told Awareness Times in a telephone interview that JOB is the only fittest candidate to take the SLPP to the 2012 elections. Benjamin, he said, has demonstrated mature leadership, \u201cthus the must for all SLPP members to appreciate his dynamic and mature leadership qualities\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am therefore calling on all my supporters to throw weight behind John Benjamin\u2019s bid as the latter has proved himself as a force to reckon with in the country\u2019s political landscape,\u201d Sandy noted. He furthered that members from the camp of a certain flagbearer aspirant recently asked him to join their struggle to remove JOB from the party\u2019s chairmanship. \u201cThey told me that they were having difficulties to actualize their mission to remove JOB, and that I should join their team as an indigene from the east of Sierra Leone to serve as morale booster towards the success of their desperate fight,\u201d he exposed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI simply told them that I was not going to join a crazy fight,\u201d Sandy disclosed, adding that any SLPP member that is against JOB\u2019s re-election bid is not seeking the interest of the party.<\/p>\n
John Benjamin, he continued, has selflessly served the party over the years. \u201cWe are therefore obliged to give him a second term to continue the good work,\u201d he intimated.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am on a massive sensitization drive to remind the people of the east about the unique leadership qualities of JOB,\u201d sandy stated, while noting that he had already engaged the people of Kenema and Panguma. \u201cAs I speak to you now, am heading for Tongo and Kono Benjamin is just our best,\u201d Sandy noted, while calling on all patriotic SLPP members to overwhelmingly vote for JOB at the forthcoming national officers elections to be held at the Miatta Conference Hall in Freetown.<\/p>\n
John Benjamin stands out to be the most popular candidate for the position of National Chairman and leader, as party big wigs continue to back his re-election bid a daily basis.<\/p>\n
