Excellent, it is all about peace, unity, and development. Thanks to the president of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Rtd Brigadier Julius Maada Bio for assuring the Priestsof peaceful elections in Sierra Leone, come June 24th, 2023. I do not want to see what happened during the baseless Civil War to repeat anymore. Those Diaspora sending inciteful messages to the media and violating the correct use of the media must be brought to book and face the law that governs us in the continent.
