In these solemn times of profound grief, Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, the visionary leader of the DIB Movement and a leading aspirant for the All People’s Congress (APC) flagbearership in 2028, has once again demonstrated the compassionate leadership Sierra Leone desperately needs. His moving tributes to two fallen comrades — the late Hon. Ernest Dura Koroma and Hon. Lucinda Finda Kelly — touch the very soul of a nation mourning dedicated patriots.
Dr. Bangura personally participated in the civic laying-out ceremony for Hon. Ernest Dura Koroma, former MP for Kambia District, signing the official book of condolence at the Sierra Leone Parliament. “In this moment of grief, we draw strength from Comrade Ernest Dura Koroma’s legacy,” he stated. “Let us heal from our losses, unite across generations, and build a future worthy of his sacrifice.” His words offered solace to the widow and six children, while reinforcing the APC’s enduring spirit of service and discipline.
Similarly, the DIB Movement, under Dr. Bangura’s guidance, issued a poignant message following the passing of the dynamic Hon. Lucinda Finda Kelly, MP for Kono District (Constituency 029). The statement expressed “profound sorrow and a deep sense of loss,” celebrating her sacrifices, vocal advocacy, and tireless empowerment of youth and women in politics. Parliament’s moment of silence echoed the void left by this formidable “strongwoman.”
These gestures reveal Dr. Bangura not merely as a politician, but as a unifier who turns mourning into momentum. An accomplished academic and peace expert, he envisions an inclusive APC — one that transcends divisions, empowers the next generation, and delivers transformative governance. In honoring the departed, he calls on all comrades to rally behind shared ideals of progress, justice, and national reconciliation.
As Sierra Leone navigates the loss, Bangura stands as a beacon of empathy and resolve — ready to lead the APC to victory in 2028 with integrity, vision, and an unbreakable commitment to the people. May the legacies of Hon. Koroma and Hon. Kelly inspire us all toward a brighter tomorrow.
