Hon. Sam recalled that the late man was among the nineteen contenders for the flagbearership of the party in July last year that saw Retired Brigadier General Julius Maada Bio emerge as winner.

He described Dr. Soyei as a very committed and hard working member of the party who was one of the creators of the party’s think tank and other innovations.

He said the man was particularly admired because even when he did not emerge to lead the party, he was able to make his views and opinion heard and still remained very loyal and committed to the party.

He also paid special to the APC executive members for visiting and sympathizing with them for the loss of one of their most articulate and loyal members.

He concluded extending on behalf of the party, heartfelt condolence to his wife, children and all members of the Soyei family.
