27-11-2010 NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING OPENING STATEMENTS BY THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN AND LEADER, JOHN OPONJO BENJAMIN
I wish to welcome you all yet to another National Executive Council (NEC) Meeting here in this beautiful city of Makeni. Before I make any statement I entreat you all to please rise and pray silently for a peaceful repose of the souls of our departed party faithfuls since we last met as a council. Fellow party members, it could be recalled that the last NEC meeting we had in Freetown was specifically to address the contentions some had over portions of our party constitution relating to the legibility of the National Executive Members to contest for the position of the party flag-bearer ahead of the 2012 National Presidential election.

The SLPP wishes to inform the public that Alhaji Alpha Kanu, a celebrated liar, was merely practising his lying skills this morning. The truth is that the violent uprising of the locals in Tonkolili occurred on Thursday November 25th 2010.
