In a scathing Facebook post, renowned civil society activist Edmond Abu has denounced Mayor-elect Yvonne Aki-Sawyer for discrediting the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL), despite her victory in the mayoral election.
Abu accused Aki-Sawyer of manipulating the election results, likening her actions to a deceitful portrayal of the nation’s citizens as mindless zombies.
“Aki Sawyer even when you have won, you still want to discredit the ECSL with tampered RRFs results like you lied to make our beloved nation look like we are Zombies with the fake issue of blood,” he stated.
Moreover, Abu revealed that supporters of the All People’s Congress (APC) party only voted for Aki-Sawyer due to their allegiance to the party symbol, emphasizing her lack of tangible achievements.
Challenging her claim to have worked for the people of Sierra Leone, Abu suggested that she should contest as an independent candidate to understand the challenges faced by Charles Margai and other politicians who met similar fates.
Abu asserted that Aki-Sawyer’s performance could not compare to that of Mohmed Gento Kamara, emphasizing the need for her to improve her reputation and instill confidence in women for the mandated 30% quota.
Drawing a parallel between Sierra Leone and the United Kingdom, Abu argued that Aki-Sawyer’s political career would be terminated if she were in a similar situation as Boris Johnson or Donald Trump, who faced consequences for their deceptive actions.
While commending Kamara for graciously accepting defeat and congratulating Aki-Sawyer, Abu, speaking from Ghana, emphasized the importance of transparency.
He urged Aki-Sawyer or any political party with conflicting election results to either seek legal redress or present their evidence in the court of public opinion, i.e., social media, instead of perpetuating falsehoods. Abu further stressed that if anyone could prove the ECSL wrong, they should lead a campaign for a rerun of the 2023 elections.
You are not a sober minded individual that mean good things of that nation trust me
Edmond Abu u are a disgrace as u called yourself CSO. Why are u people keep on disgracing S/L in this global village. I know u to be a strong CSO during the past dispensation of APC and I the early days of SLPP but now do u also follow brown envelope ✉️✉️ that makes u not critic this paOpa ?
Edmond Abu you’ve already proven that your so call CSO belongs to the SLPP
Coz you state that AKy Sawyer won because all those who voted for her have because they owe allegiance to the party symbol
This shown clearly that you do not wish for Aki Sawyer to become victorious where in you belong to a CSO group and CSO have nothing to do with politics openly
Even though each citizen have d right to belong or vote for any party he or she wishes but for the fact that you’re a member of the civil society organization you’ve nothing to comment on how Aki Sawyer become victorious
What we expect you to do is for you to preach d peace which we understand for any CSO group
But now you’ve said it clearly that your wishes is for Aki Sawyer not to become Mayor of Freetown for the second time which is not good for the position you hold
Edmond Abu, you have shown the Sierra Leonean public that you are indeed a diehard SLPP member.
Edmond Abu you are pretending to be neutral but you have been supporting Maada Bio”s presidency to kill innocent people in this country.
The spirit of the innocent people killed by your PAOPA President will hunt all of you who supported the PAOPA killer government.
You never advised your killer President to stop killing innocent people rather, you encouraged him to continue his inhuman activities in the country.
Mind you, you are a Civil Society Organization (CSO)officer but you act as an Evil Society Organization (ESO) officer.
The Almighty Allah / God will punish all those responsible for supporting Maada Bio’s inhuman activities in the country.
Please God take appropriate measures against evil CSOs in this country.
Let’s talk about the interest of the country, Aki Sawyer has done nothing for this nation even the party.
