There are also reports that fanatics of the APC and former party executives are planning to attend the rally at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, in front of the UN on Friday July 10, 2015. We will bring you all the details.
MEANWHILE, the organizers of the welcoming ceremony and the rally have cranked up preparations to ensure success of the two programs. They have been holding meetings and teleconference and calling and galvanizing and mobilizing comrades . So far, arrangements and plans are going on well on course and people will know this week that President Koroma is still the toast of Sierra Leoneans.
Organizers want it to be known that the welcoming ceremony and rally are not APC events, per se and are open to all Sierra Leoneans who want to come and express their appreciation to President Koroma for what he is doing for our beloved nation.
