This New S.L.P.P.is not a new party,nor a break-away faction.We are still S.L.P.P.For, REAL.
The difference is that we are a reform -progressive wing, working to shake the Party-up, so that we can courageously look at our realities.That is all.
Apc can think what they want.They will fall victim to their own propaganda.
New S.L.P.P. claims the mantle pieces of our Founding Fathers,who brought together a collection of groups to form S.L.P.P. on April 27th, 1951.
We stand with them.We also want to take "Old Slpp", back to the future.
We are not afraid. Let that be known to all and sundry.
BOYTEE.
: For Mr. George)
: The APC would no doubt be pleased to note what they would want to see as the beginning of the disintegration of the SLPP as the party enters the new phase of soul-searching that wants to distance itself from any imperfections of the party that was born in 1951, by calling itself the NEW SLPP.
: So please don’t allow that to happen,. Don’t allow the APC/ NEW APC to say, “It gives us the greatest pleasure to hear the announcement of the birth of the New SLPP, which heralds a split with the real SLPP.”
: For some time the PMDC gave the impression of being the New SLPP, the New Broom being symbolically and genetically speaking (smile) a shoot from the roots and branches of the Palm Tree.
: One of the wise men of the SLPP has suggested that you cling on to the image of the ORIGINAL SLPP – which to some extent has been kidnapped and transformed into the SLPP of the Kabbah-Berewa era of adjusting to the realities of a very war damaged post-conflict Sierra Leone. A very unsettled Sierra Leone, that was still in flux with a myriad of problems which continue to bedevil the present APC government.
: It’s a pity that much of the sound advice that is to be found coming from some of the very able people on Leonenet Meama-Kajue, is not reflected here on SLPP Worldwide.

: As someone has made poetically clear to us, the APC had to create the image of a NEW APC that was divorced from it’s past ” as if it was a new and pure re-incarnation of the wicked old APC which had nothing whatsoever to do with that old beast.”
: In the case of the Original SLPP, there is no such beast to distance itself from.
