HON. CHERNOR “CHERICOCO” BAH CROWNED HONORARY CEREMONIAL CHIEF IN MAKENI

The Chief Sponsor of the Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma Trophy, former Member of the ECOWAS Parliament, and former Deputy Leader of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Hon. Chernor Ramadan Maju Bah, popularly known as “Chericoco,” has been honored by community leaders and football stakeholders in Makeni and beyond with a ceremonial chieftaincy title.

Hon. Bah was crowned ceremonial chief with the Temne title “Pa Alimamy Thonkla,” a name symbolizing unity and leadership, and recognizing his ability to bring people together across communities.

The ceremony was led by a ceremonial chief from Bombali Sebora Chiefdom, Pa Kapr Kiabin Turay, and was chaired by the APC former Secretary General, now National Vice Chairman, Ambassador Osman Foday Yansaneh.

The event attracted a strong presence of senior APC officials and party stakeholders, including APC Western Area Chairman Casho Holland J. Cole, Dr. Ibrahim Bangura (APC flag bearer aspirant), Hon. Mohamed Papa Bangura, Hon. Alusine Bash Kamara, Hon. Catherine Zainab Tarawalie, Hon. Ibrahim Barrie, Bombali District Council Chairman Dr. MMB Sisay, Makeni City Council Mayor Abu Bakarr Lamtales Kamara, and many other party members and supporters.

Hon. Bah’s growing respect and popularity among the people of Makeni and Bombali District stem not only from his developmental and social contributions but also from the loyalty and reverence he has consistently shown in preserving the legacy of the former President and Chairman of the APC, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma.

For over fifteen years, Hon. Bah has successfully brought together thousands of people annually through the Ernest Bai Koroma Trophy, an initiative widely regarded as a unifying platform that has strengthened party cohesion and expanded his influence within the APC’s grassroots base.

Speaking on the sidelines of the event, a senior APC figure who requested anonymity described Hon. Bah as the party’s strongest hope going into the next general elections.

"Of all the APC flag bearers, Chericoco stands out as the most capable of delivering victory for the party in 2028,” the source said.

The Wusum Hills Youth Organization has on Saturday, December 6, 2025 embarked on road maintenance at the Water Works and New London communities, leveling rough sections, and filling potholes in an effort to ease transportation challenges and support community development.

With this initiative, we are calling on other stakeholders especially the Resident Minister, Ibrahim Jallomy Jalloh, His Lordship, Mayor Abu Bakarr Lamtales Kamara, and the District Council Chairman, Dr. Mohamed Mark Babah Sisay, to come to our aid in developing not only our roads but our entire community,” said Chairman Alie Mansaray.
