Port Loko residents who are making very loud noises of happiness and joy say they are extremely happy that President Koroma has at last delivered and taken Port Loko out of the dark state it found itself since Independence, adding that, the SLPP government failed woefully to bring any development in any form to the people of Port Loko and that it is only the APC government of President Ernest Bai Koroma that has accomplished such a feat. They commended the president for this and prayed that his successor Dr. Samura Kamara would continue in his stead.

According to hundreds of Port Loko residents they are ready to vote 100% for the APC and for Samura Kamara as the next president of Sierra Leone. They stated that Port Loko used to be called Dark America in Sierra Leone but that with the switching on of the electricity generated by the dam, they can now rename their city Light of America in Sierra Leone.

The event was climaxed with traditional dances and songs and the cutting of the tape to the dam.
