The First Lady of Sierra Leone, Fatima Bio has reminded Sierra Leoneans that her husband, President Julius Maada Bio will continue to fight for peace in the country.

She said the President will fight for peace in Sierra Leone as he did on the battlefield.

The First Lady made this assurance while addressing members of the United Nations, European Union, and the diplomatic corps at a cocktail ceremony to celebrate Sierra Leone’s election to the UN Security Council.

Bio also rendered her appreciation to locals for choosing “peace over war” which she said is in tandem with the President’s agenda.

President Bio while addressing the guests reminisced on Sierra Leone’s election to the UNSC by an overwhelming margin. He promised that his nation will “serve meaningful” in line with the country’s key goals.

Several government ministers and heads of departments and agencies were also present at the Bintumani conference Centre in Aberdeen on Monday evening where the event was hosted.
