THE UNIFIER CAMPAIGN STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY WITH JOSEPH FITZGERALD KAMARA (JFK) The Unifier Campaign has received with profound dismay and deep concern reports of the arrest and detention of Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara, widely known as JFK, following proceedings before the Supreme Court in Freetown. At this difficult moment, Dr. Richard Konteh and the Unifier Campaign stand in solidarity with JFK, his family, and his colleagues. We extend our heartfelt support to him as a fellow member of the All People’s Congress and a member of its legal team. Our solidarity is expressed without prejudice to the matters before the Court. We respect the independence of the judiciary and the judicial process, and we make no determination concerning the merits of the proceedings. Our concern for JFK’s dignity, wellbeing, and fair treatment remains steadfast. We reaffirm our commitment to the rule of law, due process, and respect for the rights and dignity of every Sierra Leonean. We encourage our supporters to remain calm, exercise restraint, and express their solidarity peacefully and responsibly. To JFK and his family: you are in our thoughts and prayers. In this difficult hour, you are not alone.

Today, we honour the fathers of Sierra Leone—the farmers, fishermen, teachers, drivers, workers, grandfathers, and mentors who sacrifice daily so their families can have a better future. A father is more than a provider. He is a protector, a teacher, a builder of character, and often a child's first example of leadership. When fathers are strong, families become stronger. When families become stronger, communities become stronger. When communities become stronger, nations become stronger. As we celebrate Father's Day, let us remember that fathers are also unifiers. A good father does not divide his children—he brings them together. He leads not through fear, but through love, wisdom, fairness, and example. Sierra Leone needs that same spirit today. Not unity based on tribe, region, or political party—but unity based on a shared belief that We All Nar Wan, and share one destiny. To every father, grandfather, stepfather, guardian, mentor, and father figure: thank you for your sacrifices, your love, and your leadership. My challenge to every father today: Be a Unifier...Read more richardkonteh.com/post/the-f… #FathersDay #HappyFathersDay #BestDadEver #MyDadMyHero #Fatherhood #DadGoals #ThanksDad #apc #SierraLeone #SaloneX #dunifier #richardkonteh #SaloneTwitter @diaspora_apc @We_yoneNp #sierraloaded #salonekongosa #born2blog #scotlandheritage #sierraleoneheritageA

My biggest concerns about the proposed National Security and Central Intelligence Act is that, this law gives the government strong power to control information, monitor citizens, and define threats without strong checks to protect ordinary people. You should be very concerned too!

I wish to warmly congratulate the All People’s Congress Party (APC), our National Executive, the Independent Elections Management Committee (IEMC), and all the Party Executives at the District, Constituency and Ward levels for the generally successful conduct of the recent lower-level Ward elections across the country. These elections represent an important step in strengthening our internal democratic processes and renewing grassroots participation within our great party. I commend the many APCians who participated peacefully and demonstrated commitment to the values and future of the APC Party. I also acknowledge that, as with any large democratic exercise, there were isolated skirmishes and disturbances in a few locations. While regrettable, these incidents should not overshadow the broader progress made. I trust and expect that the National Executive and the IEMC will take swift, transparent, and decisive action to address all petitions and grievances, and to ensure that any necessary re-run elections are conducted speedily and without undue delay, in line with party rules and fairness. The credibility of our internal processes is essential, not only for party unity, but for the confidence of our members and supporters nationwide, and internationally. On behalf of the Unifier Movement, I continue to admonish all APCians to remain calm, united, and focused on the bigger picture. Our strength lies in our unity, our discipline, and our shared commitment to the future of Sierra Leone. The task before us is clear. The APC Party must present a united front, reconnect with the people, and position itself to win the next national elections and offer Sierra Leone credible leadership, economic relief, and renewed hope. Together, through unity of purpose and respect for internal democracy, we can guarantee victory for the APC and a better future for our country. Aluta Continua.

I have taken note, with deep concern, of the arrest and continued detention of Zainab Sheriff, a Sierra Leonean citizen and political activist. In a constitutional democracy, the protection of due process, freedom of expression, and reasonable access to bail are not privileges granted by the state; they are rights guaranteed by law. When any citizen, especially a political activist, is detained under circumstances that are not promptly and transparently explained, it raises legitimate public concern and weakens confidence in our justice system. Let me be clear: the rule of law must be respected by all. At the same time, the rule of law must be applied fairly, impartially, and without political colour. Law enforcement should never be perceived as a tool to intimidate, silence, or discourage dissenting voices. A democracy grows stronger when it tolerates criticism and manages disagreement through dialogue and lawful process—not fear. I therefore call on the relevant authorities to ensure that Zainab Sheriff is accorded her full constitutional rights, including timely access to legal counsel, clarity on any charges, and consideration of bail in line with established legal standards. Transparency at this moment is essential to restoring public trust and easing rising political tensions. As a nation, we must guard against a pattern where arrests and detentions of activists or opposition voices become normalized. Such practices shrink civic space, deepen polarization, and distract us from the urgent task of addressing the real challenges facing our people: economic hardship, unemployment, and the need for national reconciliation. I urge restraint, professionalism, and respect for due process from all state institutions. This is not a time for escalation, but for calm reflection and adherence to the principles that bind us together as a nation. I remain committed to peace, dialogue, and constitutional order. Sierra Leone’s future depends on our collective ability to protect rights, uphold justice, and choose unity over division. #apc #SierraLeone #SaloneX #dunifier #richardkonteh #SaloneTwitter @diaspora_apc @We_yoneNp #sierraloaded #salonekongosa #born2blog #scotlandheritage #sierraleoneheritage @TruthmediaSL @thomasd05987132 #EuropeanUnion @USEmbFreetown @UKinSierraLeone @SLAJ_Salone @SierraLeoneUN @EUinSierraLeone @_AfricanUnion @ecowas_cedeao #DemocracyUnderSiege #democracydiesindarkness

A Call to Reflection and Gratitude: Dr. Richard Konteh’s Message on Ramadan, Lent, and Armed Forces Day As we enter the sacred seasons of Ramadan for our Muslim community and Lent for our Christian community, I extend my heartfelt prayers, goodwill, and solidarity to all Sierra Leoneans. These holy periods call us to reflection, restraint, compassion, and renewal. They invite us to look inward, to examine our conduct as individuals and as a nation, and to recommit ourselves to values that strengthen our shared humanity—justice, humility, forgiveness, and service to others. At a time when our country is navigating complex political, economic, and social challenges, these seasons remind us that peace and progress begin with conscience. They teach us that power must be exercised with restraint, leadership with responsibility, and authority with fairness. As I have stated before, this is not a moment for intimidation or escalation, but for institution-building, dialogue, and national unity. Ramadan and Lent reinforce that truth. They call us away from division and toward understanding; away from fear and toward faith; away from excess and toward empathy for those who struggle daily to survive. In a constitutional democracy, justice must be impartial, institutions must be fair, and the dignity of every citizen must be protected. These principles are not only political ideals—they are moral imperatives deeply rooted in both Islam and Christianity. I therefore encourage all Sierra Leoneans, leaders and citizens alike, to use this sacred season to pray for our nation, to speak with kindness, to act with integrity, and to place the common good above personal or partisan interest. May this season soften our hearts, calm tensions, restore trust, and renew our collective commitment to justice, peace, and national unity. I pray that the Almighty God grants strength to those who are fasting, comfort to those who suffer, wisdom to those who lead, and hope to every Sierra Leonean. Ramadan Mubarak. Blessed Lenten Season. May God bless Sierra Leone. Let me also use this solemn occasion to extend our best wishes and thanksgiving to our gallant men and women of the Sierra Leone Armed Forces as we celebrate Armed Forces Day with you. Your sacrifices for and dedication to defending the sovereignty of our motherland and the supremacy of our national constitution have been remarkable. We pray for God’s divine blessings and prosperity to be showered on you. May God continue to bless our beloved Sierra Leone.
