Breaking traditional political boundaries, the Minister of Youth Affairs, Hon. Ibrahim Sannoh visited the headquarters of the All People’s Congress (APC) Party today in what is being described as a groundbreaking step towards national unity and inclusive youth development.
Joined by his wife, daughter, and Deputy Minister Mr. Patrick Gibrilla Michaels, Hon. Sannoh met with young people affiliated with the APC, emphasizing his commitment to serving all Sierra Leonean youth, regardless of their political affiliation.
“This visit is not about politics; it is about purpose. As Minister for all young people, I believe it’s time to rise above party lines and focus on nation-building through youth empowerment,” he said.
He pledged to write officially to the APC Youth Wing, seeking a formal meeting to deepen engagement and collaboration. Despite the APC being in opposition, the Minister affirmed that their youth must be seen and heard as part of the national governance process.
The visit has ignited widespread conversation across social media platforms, with many praising Hon. Sannoh’s leadership style is bold, mature, and unifying. Political commentators are already calling it a strategic turning point in building inter-party trust and fostering a more cohesive political climate.
Photos of the Minister warmly engaging with APC youth have gone viral, drawing admiration from both sides of the political aisle. Many see this as a refreshing and visionary approach to youth leadership, centred not on division but on dialogue, dignity, and development.
Hon. Sannoh continues to set the tone for a new generation of leadership, where inclusion is not a slogan but a practice.
