Parliament Kanu was one of the fierce critics of Ahmad Tejan Kabbah lead Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) government. Kanu was one of the most senior members of the APC to publicly declare his support for Ernest Bai Koroma during Koroma battle with longtime APC leader Edward Turay for the APC Leadership in 2002. When Koroma was stripped of the APC leadership by the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone in 2005, Kanu spoke against the members of the party that took the case to the supreme court and fought very hard for Koroma to again win the APC leadership. He was the spokesman of the APC, then an opposition party during the 2007 election. Cabinet positions When Ernest Bai Koroma was elected president in 2007, Kanu was appointed Minister of Presidential and Public Affairs from October 2007 to February 2009 when he was moved to the Ministry of Mineral Resources. In December 2009, Kanu was again appointed Minister of Presidential and Public Affairs.
