Somebody called Mohamed S. Kamara cracked a side-bursting joke while commenting on one of Solomon Sesay’s articles on the Sierra Leone People’s Party ( SLPP ) Presidential candidate, Maada Bio.  The joke , which could be found at http://www.cocorioko.net/?p=23528   goes like this ( We published it unedited for dramatic effect ) :

“A young girl walked up to her mother saying,  “Mother i’ve found a man. The mother reply “ooh my daughter i’m proud of you can i see this lucky man?” ask the mother! Then the daughter replied “mum i hope you’ll like him because his unemployed.  “ohhh yes my daughter that will be no problem at all  ” “ok “, said the daughter,  “but also his an handicap with humP-back. ”  “oooh my daughter what ever that will make happy is fine by me” said the mother. “Thanks”,  the Daughter replied, and said “mum very lastly i must inform you that his Father is a member of the SLPP in General and Flag Bearer in particular.” The mother immediately threw herself out of their five story Building. ”

WUSU BOIE KAMARA

There is no better joke to highlight the rejection malaise that has hit the SLPP  than Mr. Kamara’s  as the SLPP  tries to rationalize the latest humiliation to embrace the party . In Karina last week, as first reported by SIERRA EXPRESS,  one of the SLPP’s presidential candidates for the 2012 elections who was cheated of victory that was handed on a silver platter to Maada Bio, Mr. Osman Wusu Boie Kamara clearly and outrightly rejected the party in public.  The very popular Wusu Boie who was said to have actually won the contest before he was cheated in  diabolical backroom wrangles is now saying that he is neither a member of the ruling All People’s Congress ( APC ) nor  the SLPP. With rumours rife that Mr. Boie would likely jump ship , this declaration by one of few people taken seriously in the SLPP  has been a massive blow to the SLPP. WE BRING YOU THE LATEST REJECTION OF THE SLPP, AS REPORTED IN THE AFRICAN YOUNG VOICES NEWSPAPER :

Reports reaching this paper indicate that the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) is presently in a state of shock and confusion over the declaration made by the former flagbearer aspirant, Mr. Usman Boi Kamara, that he is neither a member of the All Peoples Congress (APC) nor of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP).

An Aide to Mr. Kamara who spoke to this paper explained that on Thursday, February 9 this year Mr. Kamara and other family members including the party’s Women’s Leader, Mrs. Isata Jabbie Kabbah, paid a visit to his home town of Karina in the North of the country where he was given a Chief’s welcome.

The Aide also explained that a meeting was convened in his honour where the people expressed their appreciation to him for his astute political activities and unblemished character.

The Aide also stated that when Mrs. Isata Jabbie Kabbah was asked to address the gathering she asked Mr. Usman Boi Kamara to break his silence and tell the people about both his political belonging and future plans as his continued silence has given rise to a lot of speculation and controversy.

Mr. Kamara, the Aide stated, did not want to answer the question but that when the people pressed him to allay their fears he calmly told them that he belongs to neither the APC nor the SLPP but that he will tell his people very soon what his future political plans are.

The Aide concluded that upon hearing this response a profound hush fell on the gathering and the SLPP stalwarts who had gathered at the meeting left unceremoniously without waiting for the meeting to end.

As we were going to press we couldn’t get any reaction from either Mrs. Isata Jabbie Kabbah nor from any executive member of the SLPP.
