Shiaka Musa Sama, and host of staunch APC supporters in Pujehun District, declared their support for the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP).

“I want to tell everyone listening to me to know that with the support of my wife, I have declared for SLP P and my target is to make sure that if APC has seven hundred votes in Pujehun, my aim is to make sure that it is reduced to zero”, he said.
