Kanu says Bai Koroma ended his presidential ambition; now serves rival SLPP

Presidential Spokesman Alpha Kanu once marshalled money and manpower to elect Ernest Bai Koroma. Now he serves the man who replaced him.

Kanu claims Koroma “terminated” his ambition to become President of Sierra Leone, despite Kanu having been one of the former leader’s staunchest supporters and an open advocate for a third term for Koroma. The remarks could not be independently verified. Koroma’s office has not issued a public response.
