Andrew Keili Speaks On SLPP Alliance
The Alliance for All Aspirants (AAA) of the Sierra Leone
Peoples Party has said that the alliance stands for constitutionality.
This is how one of the intending presidential aspirants
of the SLPP Andrew Keili broke the news to his audience in Bo city.
“The alliance stands for constitutionality, the alliance
is not against anybody. Anybody that wants to join the alliance today needs to
go by the rules which is the constitution.”
According to AAA their tour was to popularize the
alliance to their supporters and well-meaning Sierra Leoneans and for them to
denounce violence for the good in the SLPP.
Mr. Keili went on to say that nobody is left out in the
alliance and if anybody says he or she wants to join the alliance today, he or
she is welcome.
“…but the alliance stands for certain things such as
constitutionality, intolerance with one another and no violence. Let us stand
for each other. The door is open to everyone, we are not against anyone.”
He called on their supporters to look into the interest
of the party and to stop dishing out monies which at times can cause more harm
than good.
He pointed out that there is a level of trust within the
party and called on them to work together for the interest of the party. He
congratulated the people of Bo for welcoming them to the city. Bo he said is
actually the headquarters of SLPP as the party knows the sacrifice the people
of Bo have made for the party.
He promised his audience that AAA will be moving to
different places in the country as they now have more people in the alliance
than what they think.
“We are here today for you to accept us, we are men of
substance. We are introducing ourselves. We are not here today only for
politics but we stand by our rights and by our own dignity.”
Andrew Keili did not waste any time to tell supporters
that the system they set up during SLPP governance is falling apart under the
All People Congress government as everybody is busy talking about more time or
extra time even though there are glaring problems such as youth unemployment,
questionable educational system, poverty and the like.
“SLPP for the past two years has been talking about
expunction and suspension. The people should have confidence in the opposition in
such a way that if the government in power is not performing to the
satisfaction of the people then the people can look at the opposition as an
option,” he said.
He stressed that it is strange that the issue of flagbearer should be causing a great problem
in SLPP.
He continued to say that a party is not only bound by
flagbearers it goes beyond that, ranging from ward, constituency, chiefdom and
district among others.
“The flagbearer is nothing. As a former flagbearer, I
fought with others for the position but at the end we supported the winner. We
did not fallout we backed the winner because we believed in the party.”
He went further to say that he is happy about what is
happening now in the party. He assured them that if any flagbearer wins
constitutionally they will support him or her.
“If we had hurt anyone,
we sorry but SLPP is bigger than all of us,” he concluded.
