Battle linking Ministers, Councilors, and certainly Parliamentarians of the governing APC part –\u00a0 for running mate – gives the impression of a snub to all and Vice President Sam Sumana is President Koroma\u2019s choice come 2012.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Musa Tarawally, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Bandabla Dauda, Chairman Kono District Council, Diana Konomanyi, and others etc., are reportedly lobbying their way for running mate to President Koroma in the soon to come elections.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been revealed that Musa Tarawally has had untiring moments coaxing executives of the APC to\u00a0\u2018blow his horn\u2019 to President Koroma for running mate.<\/p>\n
It is also disclosed that unnamed officers of the APC are in disagreement with the current Vice President and are reportedly not pleased hearing that he (VP) will be re-appointed as President Koroma\u2019s running in the 2012 elections.<\/p>\n
But insider revelations say however that President Koroma has resolved having his current Vice President as running mate in the coming elections.<\/p>\n
That regardless of several opposing forces standing in the way of Vice President Sam Sumana – so to say – persons desperately lobbying family members and party bigwigs to have them convince President Koroma appoints either of them he seemingly has resolved re-appoint VP Sam Sumana for another term.<\/p>\n
Indigenes of Kono District (home district of VP Sam Sumana) have wholeheartedly pledged their support for their \u2018brother and son of Kono soil.\u2019<\/p>\n
Findings also have it that the Konos, in some way, have threatened to\u00a0quit and\u00a0not vote for the ruling APC at all should President Koroma refuse re-appointing Vice President Sam Sumana as his running mate in 2012.<\/p>\n
Unconfirmed revelations indicate however that a\u00a0number of APC politicians over-excitedly engaged the media thus transmitting information that is unfavourable to the Vice President.<\/p>\n
It is a fact that the Minister of Internal Affairs, Musa Tarawally, some months ago, made an unannounced visit to Kono District, which afterwards resulted\u00a0in serious chaos; and which saw bodyguards of the forenamed Minister discharging live bullets against defenseless civilians.<\/p>\n
The visit, according to findings, was designed to have youths, elders, and Chiefs of Kono District support Musa Tarawally as he battles for APC running mate come 2012.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is disclosed nevertheless that Diana Konomanyi and other Ministers want President Koroma to not appoint VP Sam Sumana, but one of them.<\/p>\n
