Former Independent Candidate for Kombo South in last year’s parliamentary elections, Bubacarr FM Colley has urged the residents of the West Coast Region not to vote for the current Chairman of Brikama Area Council, Sheriffo Sonko.
“DO NOT VOTE FOR SHERIFFO SONKO. HE DOESN’T DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE!
His track record indicates that he is the worst Area Council chairman in the history of mankind. West Coast Region has not only suffered because of his unethical behavior; also under him, the council became a source of Incompetence, pride, corruption, sexual harassment and exploitation, abuse of power, nepotism, and a total disregard for our environment.
“On account of the fact of all the taxes collected by the Brikama Area Council from hotels in the Senegambia area, Beach bars around the coastal areas, shops, and markets in the entire west coast region, Service delivery is not just poor, but horrible and unavailable in many instances. He has failed to deliver and honor most of the promises he campaigned on. Voting for Sheriffo Sonko will endanger the region more and slide us into further underdevelopment, insecurity, hunger, poverty, looting of our natural resources, environmental degradation, and pollution,” the young politician said.
Sheriffo Sonko is the current Chairman of the Brikama Area Council (BAC). Several Independent candidates have emerged within West Coast Region to challenge him. In addition, the main opposition United Democratic Party (UDP) has selected lawyer Yankuba Darboe as their candidate to challenge him for the position in the upcoming local government election.
