A prominent member of the All People’s Congress (APC) and potential contender for the party’s flagbearership in the 2028 presidential election, Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, has donated about $10,000 (NLe200,000) and 500 bags of cement to support the reconstruction of the APC southern region party office. The previous office was destroyed in a fire during the last election, and the party currently faces uncertainty with its rented office space.
Haja Isatu Bah-Kamara, the APC regional chairman for the southern region, expressed concerns that the landlord may not renew the lease due to fears of potential vandalism. This situation underscored the urgent need for a new party office to provide a secure and stable base for APC members in the region.
Dr. Bangura’s substantial donation was warmly received by party officials and members, who see it as a demonstration of his leadership and commitment to the APC’s future. As a potential candidate for the APC presidential flagbearership in 2028, Dr. Bangura’s generosity and active involvement in party matters highlight his dedication to community development and progress.
The construction of the new office symbolizes the APC’s resilience and determination to overcome challenges, the region’s members say.
Bah-Kamara added that Dr. Bangura’s contribution is a significant step towards revitalizing the party’s presence in the southern region and fostering a supportive environment for its members as they prepare for upcoming elections.
