In its release, the APC stated that both the party and President Bio reaffirmed their commitments to the full implementation of previously agreed political frameworks. These include the 8-Point communique of the International Moral Guarantors, the Tripartite Committee&#8217;s Recommendations, and the Agreement for National Unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opposition noted that those agreements remain critical to restoring public trust, strengthening democratic governance, and ensuring accountability in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The APC further described the meeting as a constructive step towards deepening dialogue between the government and the opposition but stressed that future engagements must produce concrete results rather than symbolic gestures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the statement, such actions should directly address the pressing concerns facing ordinary Sierra Leoneans, including governance, accountability, and national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The party also assured its members, supporters, and the wider public that its participation in the engagement does not weaken its role as the main opposition force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The APC remains steadfast in holding the government accountable while constructively contributing to nation-building,&#8221; the statement concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>he opposition
