In a demonstration of continued loyalty and commitment to the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), former Bo City Mayoral Candidate Hon. Sualiho Monyaba Koroma has once again stepped forward to support party members. Over the weekend of August 17, 2024, Hon. Koroma donated 100 bags of rice and Le40,000 (Forty Thousand New Leones) to executives at the regional, district, constituency, zonal, and elders’ council levels of the SLPP in Bo City.
Addressing more than 300 party loyalists and executive members, Hon. Sualiho M. Koroma emphasized that his gesture, consistent over the past 15 years, should not be mistaken for an act of flaunting wealth but rather seen as a testament to his deep love for the SLPP. He noted that party executives and supporters are the backbone of the party’s strength.
“I understand that the global economic challenges are impacting everyone, including us here in Sierra Leone. I am committed to sharing the little I have with my people whenever the opportunity arises. Although 100 bags of rice may seem modest, please accept it as a token of my heartfelt appreciation,” remarked Hon. S.M. Koroma.
He further encouraged the gathering to continue supporting President Julius Maada Bio’s vision for a prosperous Sierra Leone and to remain united as a formidable force in preparation for the 2028 general elections.
Expressing gratitude on behalf of the SLPP Bo District Executive, District Secretary Foday Abdulai applauded Hon. Koroma’s unwavering dedication to the party, highlighting that despite not holding any political office, he remains a steadfast supporter. He also commended both the SLPP Regional Chairman South, Alhaji Kanja I. Sesay, and Hon. Koroma for their consistent contributions toward the betterment of the party.
The beneficiaries expressed their appreciation for Hon. Koroma’s sustained generosity, vowing to stand by him in both good and challenging times. “Hon. Sualiho is undoubtedly a true son of the soil whose kindness knows no boundaries—whether it’s tribal, gender, age, or political affiliation. Year after year, he remains a dependable figure, unlike others who often forget us,” noted Mariama Samai, a beneficiary.
The donation reflects Hon. Sualiho M. Koroma’s long-standing commitment to empowering his community and strengthening the SLPP as the party continues its journey towards a brighter future for Sierra Leone.
