The leadership of the main opposition All Peoples Congress pulled a fast one on their main antagonists, the National Reformation Movement when they convinced the police force to deny NRM permission to hold a people’s conference in Port Loko on August 17this year.

The development left the NRM fuming with rage, not at the police, but at the APC Secretary General, Alhaji Dr Osman Yansaneh for, according to them, masterminding the cancellation of the Movement’s Port Loko meeting by refusing to grant permission to the group to use the Bai Bureh Hall in Port Loko,the stronghold of the APC Party.

A defiant NRM Secretary General, Bikal Kamara fired back with a press release denouncing the old guard Ernest Koroma leadership and Secretary General Yansaneh in particular at as an oligarchy wielding dictatorial powers that refuses to make way for democratization of the party’s internal politics.

NRM accused Dr Yansaneh who they said is intolerant to the basic safeguards of democracy as standing in the way of NRM because of fear of losing his position in democratic elections called for by NRM for the election of all party national officers of fomenting chaos in APC.

Meanwhile, the NRM press release maintained that they have not given up the struggle and will soon inform their membership about the next line of action in the struggle to democratize APC’s internal politics.

The bulk of the membership of NRM consists mainly of younger people who see themselves as ‘new’ APC blood, compared to the older generation party faithful referred to as the ‘old’ blood or ‘old’ APC guards.The youths among other things are calling for an overhaul of the whole administration of the APC.

However, the Secretary General, Yansaneh, on behalf of the APC leadership has repeatedly stated that there is no group called NRM in the APC.

Meanwhile, NRM has stoutly vow to pursue their path amid any form of intimidation as in their own words “enough is enough”
