“POWER AND AUTHORITY BELONG TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD” Minkailu Mansaray Breaks Silence

-
Minister of Mines and Mineral Resources, Hon. Alhaji Minkailu Mansaray continues to demonstrate his loyalty to the All Peoples Congress (APC) and its Chairman and Leader, President Ernest Bai Koroma.
It is rumored of late that the Mines Minister, who also serves as the Deputy Chairman and leader of the party is interested in the Flagbearer of the Party.
SALONE TIMES visited Alhaji Minkailu Mansaray’s office over the weekend to find out his views on the rumor going around that he is interested in becoming presidential aspirants of the ruling All Peoples Congress Party.
In a very relaxed manner, with his usual smile, the Minister of Mines said, “I am the Deputy leader and Chairman of APC. I am also a Minister of the present government. Politically, as Deputy Leader and Chairman of the party I take specific and general instructions from the leader and chairman, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma. The party has taken a decision to stay focused on its agenda to develop the country.”
 He added that when such decision has been taken and directives given by the leader and chairman of the party, it is his responsibility to ensure that the directives are carried out to the fullest and that any attempt contrary to those directives will be tantamount to undermining the leadership of the party.
He points out “as a very seasoned and matured politician who has served the party since the sixties to date and have been elected into various positions within the structures of the party- National Youth League Secretary General, President of the National Youth League, Regional Chairman Western region, Member of the National Advisory Committee (NAC), I should be aware of the repercussions, should I deviate or act contrary to the leadership’s position.”
The Mines and Mineral Resources Minister further stated that in the fullness of time the party will assemble as it has always done to decide who should be its flag bearer and all of them will be bounded by that decision and accepted whosoever is chosen.

“Lastly let me remind you as a believer that power and authority are from no other person but the almighty God. I will forever remain loyal and supportive to the Party and its leader and Chairman. The APC is lucky to have a very good leader in the person of Comrade Ernest Bai Koroma. We should therefore honour him, give him the fullest cooperation. He has configured and rebranded the party. He has reinstituted the dignity and authority of the party. He brought sanity and new direction to the party. Thisis my reaction to your question,” Mansaray maintained. By Ibrahim Joenal Sesay
