The industrious and development oriented APC, Honourable Abubakarr Fofanah as part of his fulfillment of his manifesto made to his constituent during the 2018 presidential and parliamentary election has embarked on the rebranding of his constituency with attractive developmental projects, one of which is the construction of extra-modern business structures and a bus station at the Newton junction which  many inhabitants of Newton think did not only beautify the township but will also serve as a recipe to development.

 Many other constituents are advancing the contention that this is not the first time honourable Abu Bakarr Fofanah has embarked on such development projects. This school of thought cited the only college at the community as an example of the handiwork of the honourable as he was the architect behind the establishment of the only tertiary learning institution that many inhabitants are presently benefitting from.

Therefore it was shocking to the people of Newton to witness a scene in which one Pa Wurie, who is nick-named ‘Wurrie Palava’ -because of his notorious illegal land grabbing activity he has engaged himself in for almost the rest of his life- stormed the town with men armed in machetes to demolished the extra-modern structures the honourable has painstakingly erected, on the claim that he is the owner of the piece of land that was reserve for the development of the township.

The trillion question that continues to perforate the air as press men are eavesdropping conversations among inhabitants of Newton is how Pa Wurrie came to own a government land that has been used from time in antiquity as a market place even before his birth.

The suspicion of him trying to illegally grab a piece of land was mounted when he finally produced a document that was differently signed on different uncorrelated dates. Is this man trying to make fool of the people or is it that he is working a syndicate with staff in the Ministry of land to be illegal grabbing lands that are of importance to the development of a community?

  Sources also gathered that many constituents of the constituency have vowed to work in solidarity with the honourable Abu Bakarr Fofananh to ensure that Wurie Palava and supporters are prevented from grabbing the piece of land belonging to the people. ‘’ I strongly believe that honourable Abu Bakarr Fofanah is always willing to stand with us during thick and thin and that he will surely defend the land of his ancestors from a land grabber like Wurie Palava,’’ one of the inhabitants stated.

Upon contacting honourable Abu Bakarr Fofanah, he stated that the piece of land in question belongs to the people and that as a representative of the people it is incumbent on him to defend his people at all times especially on issues bordering their welfare. He said he is ready to pursue Pa Wurrie to the fullest of his ability because he was sure that the fight he would engage himself in is a just one.

An attempt to have the side of Pa Wurrie proved futile as he could not pick his call.
