Freetown, 10th April, 2026 — As part of his ongoing tour of Sierra Leone’s southeast, APC flagbearer aspirant Dr. Ibrahim Bangura has made a significant stop in Pujehun District, where he was warmly introduced to grassroots women by Naasu Fofanah, former Gender Advisor to ex-President Ernest Bai Koroma and a proud daughter of Pujehun.
Fofanah presented the DIB Movement to the Female Farmers Network of Fairo, underscoring the importance of women’s voices in shaping inclusive governance and community development. Her role as a native of Pujehun gave the engagement added weight, bridging national politics with local realities and amplifying the district’s contribution to the APC.
Dr. Bangura congratulated the winners of the recent ward elections in Pujehun, urging them to be magnanimous in victory and avoid electoral malpractice. He reiterated his trademark message of peace, unity, and discipline, stressing that the APC must remain cohesive ahead of future contests.
Reflecting on his roots, Bangura reminded supporters that he is “a son of the APC, born and bred,” referencing his father, M.L. Bangura, a founding member of the party’s Youth League. He commended District Chairman Mohamed Amadu Sesay, popularly known as Dr. Woo, for his loyalty and service, and emphasized that his visit was a deliberate recognition of Pujehun’s role in the APC’s history.
Calling for tolerance and inclusivity, Bangura urged residents to welcome all aspirants as they had welcomed him. He expressed confidence that the DIB Movement would produce both the next APC flagbearer and Sierra Leone’s next president, describing the journey as “history-making.”
