Suffering a second year of APC misdirection, Sierra Leoneans are already seeing the slipping away of the many freedoms brought about by the SLPP. SLPP as a party cannot continue sitting back and doing nothing, while the APC are conducting such acrimonious actions using our national police force to continue maltreating our populace. SLPP cannot continue sitting back and doing nothing while the peace and unity that the Party left behind continues diminishing. SLPP cannot sit back and do nothing in the face of escalating violence under the misguidance of APC rule. As conscientious Sierra Leoneans, the SLPP cannot rest on our laurels and see all the effort and hard work the Party developed disappear through the mismanagement-led APC.

Since the APC took power, tribalism has reared its ugly head with unhealthy venom and unforeseeable repercussions. For Sierra Leone to move forward, we need to be united. United as Sierra Leoneans under one country and one people. A united front does not support tribalism and ethnic manipulations for political domination. We must come together as Sierra Leoneans and be prepared for a change come 2012!
