Jassey-Conteh,
Brother,the statements made by you and your party flag-bearer concerning
'joining ranks with APRC' confused me. Are you guys demonstrating to us your
willingness to abandon NCP and board the APRC band-wagon? Any clarification
to this effect from your end will be highly appreciated.Peace.
Jobs.
