Hello Sierra Leoneans, I am Honourable Osman Timbo, a former member of Parliament who was overwhelmingly voted in by my people in my constituency in Freetown in the 2018 Parliamentary Elections. However, 13 months later, I was wrongfully removed from Parliament by a strange court judgement and replaced by a person who the majority of the people voted against. Notwithstanding, I thank God, the APC, the people of my constituency for giving me a chance and the people of Sierra Leone, generally, for believing in me. My 13 months in Parliament, gave you all the opportunity to see and know who I am and what I represent. I stand for humanity, integrity and national progress.
Since I was removed from Parliament, I did not look back nor give up. I continued to serve the APC Party and my people at various levels including being the principal draftsman of the new APC Constitution, work with established structures of the Party, conduct elections for the 5 – man constituency delegates in various parts and difficult terrains of the Country and also co-organised and put together the report of the 2021 Emergency National Delegates Conference in Makeni.
Since the 2013 APC Convention, I have actively served the Party in various official and unofficial capacities. I am familiar with its history, structure and growths, its strengths as well as the areas to improve on to make our Party more democratic, inclusive and contemporary.
Today, I want to use this opportunity to declare to you and humbly ask for your support and the votes of the delegates as I intend to contest to become the next DEPUTY NATIONAL SECRETARY GENERAL of the All Peoples Party at the 2023 National Delegates Conference.
I have chosen to contest, not because I just want to hold a national position within the Party, but because I know with my professional expertise, political experience and tutelage, I can add great value to the Secretariat by bringing fresh, young and contemporary ideas to the discourse.
I was born in Sierra Leone, raised in Sierra Leone, schooled in Sierra Leone, worked in the public space in Sierra Leone for over 14 years and all through these years you have had the chance to judge my character. I present myself to you as your servant, ready to lead and willing to learn, a young and progressive voice, a humble, honest and battle tested comrade, an experienced head and most importantly a pure heart and a courageous comrade.
Once again, I am yours truly Hon. Osman Timbo and I humbly seek your support and rely on your votes as delegates as I contest for the position of DEPUTY NATIONAL SECRETARY GENERAL at the 2023 National Delegates Conference, God willing.
I AM WITH YOU!! GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS SIERRA LEONE.
