‘’Protest is part of democracy’’

 – Says APC Opposition Leader

Firebrand All People’s Congress (APC) Opposition Leader, Hon. Abdul Kargbo has strongly reiterated its stance that APC as a legitimate opposition party, has the democratic right to protest and associate freely while criticizing the government’s handling of its activities.

He was speaking at an event organized by the Ministry of Information and Civic Education, where the Minority Leader Hon. Abdul Kargbo represented the All People’s Congress. He also asserted that the party’s current status as an opposition party is temporary, emphasizing  that “No Condition is Permanent,” reflecting the evolving political landscape in the country.

Kargbo also unequivocally criticized the current government’s approach towards the APC, particularly concerning alleged civil arrests during party activities. He urged the government to engage directly with the APC rather than encouraging the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in making unlawful arrests.

“I have engaged some stakeholders within the government. If issues arise during our activities as a party, the government should contact us directly instead of deploying the CID to make arrests,” he stated.

Hon. Kargbo defended APC members whose properties were allegedly seized under the Commission of Inquiry, while government spokesperson Alhaji Alpha Khan underscored the principle of accountability for all officials.
