December 15, 2011

Mr. Suliaman Tejan-Sie

Secretary-General

Sierra Leone People’s Party

Wallace-Johnson Street

Freetown

Dear Sir:

After much careful thought and deep soul-searching over time, I have concluded that I must exit the party that I have genuinely long labored to promote and modernize against impossible odds.

In deciding to resign my party membership, I have categorically rejected any and all advice and recommendations from deeply loyal party friends I respect and who repeatedly pleaded with me to stay put.

Ambasador John Leigh

Clearly, while many fine personalities continue as loyal, hard working party members nationwide and abroad, someone with my background, experience and upbringing cannot belong to a political party fronted by ex-junta personalities and under the sordid influence of those I personally know as nation-wreckers, money-grubbing lying rogues, false pretenders for money and such-like characters; not to mention the widespread acceptance in secret and off-camera of voodoo juju-swear ceremonies as part and parcel of the party’s unofficial ’democratic’ process in selecting its leadership.  Accordingly, please enter my resignation, effective today, from my membership of the Sierra Leone People’s Party as well as any patron or committee positions that may have been assigned me.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Sincerely,

John E. Leigh
