Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio has made it clear that he has no intention of seeking a seven-year term in office, nor will he pursue a third term.
Bio made this statement during his address at the Special Presidential DEPAC Meeting convened to review Sierra Leone’s 1991 constitution.
“I am not seeking a seven-year term, nor am I considering running for a third term. As I have consistently emphasized, upon leaving my presidency, my aim is to establish laws that will strengthen the democratic future of our nation,” Bio declared unequivocally.
In his address, President Bio underscored the historical significance of the ongoing Constitutional Review Process, which has been a collective endeavor spanning nearly two decades. He emphasized that this process is not merely a revision of legal documentation but a transformative journey aimed at reshaping the future of Sierra Leone.
The President stressed the importance of ensuring inclusivity and responsiveness to the evolving needs of society, ensuring that the Constitution remains a dynamic reflection of the nation’s values and aspirations.
Reflecting on Sierra Leone’s journey since the adoption of the current Constitution, President Bio highlighted the imperatives for a comprehensive review, acknowledging the imperfections inherent in any document and the evolving nature of societal needs.
President Bio reiterated his unwavering commitment to concluding the Constitutional Review Process, a pledge he made during his candidacy for the presidency in 2018. He recalled the genesis of this process, stemming from the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) following the civil war, and affirmed his administration’s dedication to fulfilling this mandate.
Be ready to face the worst retirement
Why should the constitution be change what wrong with the constitution is the constitution behind Sierra Leone problems changing the constitution doesn’t it means Sierra Leone economy will change
Thank you Prezo. 🙏🙏.
Don’t become like Earnest Bai Koroma , power thurst. Eager for power until he finally landed himself in fire.
Kudo the First gentleman of the land. You are setting a good precedent for future generations. The third term ambition has brought too many problems in many nations within the continent. Keep it up
Bio did not genuinely win the 2023 presidential election that was conducted. He manipulated his way to power and forcefully enthroned himself over innocent citizens. Is that not power thirst? But GOD is in heaven beholding the affairs of men, and judgement is inevitable for everyone. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Please Mr Bio I am kindly asking you not to do anything with the constitution because your presidency is not yet recognise yet and if you go ahead and tamper with our constitution then we will suspect you of doing the wrong thing. Please let us wait for the outcome of the tripartite to bring out their final report about the June 2023 elections
Why do politicians like to change the constitution, whenever they want to leave ?
Thanks to our beloved, dynamic and God-fearing president. May God bless us all. Aameen
