In an article titled "President Koroma endorses APC Party Secretariat’s decision, Conteh concedes defeat", dated Saturday 26 September 2009, the reputable Patriotic Vanguard's USA Bureu Chief, APC Worldwide subscriber, Anthony Abdul Karim Kamara Jnr, reported: "President Koroma called for the conduct of new, free and fair elections to be held as soon as possible. Calling on the interim executive led by Leslie Allen, his blunt message was that measures be put in place to bring a speedy conclusion to the matter. Admonishing all to put the party’s interest first, president Koroma urged the interim leadership to present a representative executive that is truly reflective of the APC North America and one that will work hard to embody the ideals of the party. On the need for a united APC, H.E. Koroma appealed to all to put away their personal agenda and instead work to see the party succeed. "If your goal is to see the party flourish and you have no hidden agenda, then you must work for unity in the party,” he said. In an effort to bring issues to rest, the president reiterated his call for elections to be held as soon as possible and pledged to ask the national secretariat to closely monitor events at the North American branch. Cognizant of year 2012, Koroma cautioned members of the North American APC to elect an executive that will work in tandem with the aims and objectives of the party and the development agenda that he has set out to accomplish for the people of Sierra Leone. “Failure is not and will not be an option for my party and government,” he underscored. Counting on the support of all party members, friends and supporters to embark on a change of attitudes and being responsible for the manner in which the image of the party is portrayed, he challenged all to “ensure that we do the things that will make us an electable government in 2012.” WE URGE YOU TO SIGN THIS PETITION FOR PEACE SO THAT OUR BRANCH CAN UNITE WITH ANY ACTION FROM OUR LEADERSHIP IN FREETOWN. A call for peace before inauguration is not a call to sabotage the Administration of Chairman Aziz Turay. It is a call to seek the best interest of our party, where its best interest is served by all branch members. We call on Chairman Aziz Turay and his entire executive to sign the petition to show that even they are ready for PEACE.
