A viral audio recording has emerged, allegedly featuring First Lady Fatima Bio in a conversation with members of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) from Kenema.
The audio reportedly discusses the concept of swearing (sweh), with Fatima Bio stating, “We all have sworn, including you, my brother Suwareh. I tell them to go, and since they went, nobody has told me they have removed the swear.”
She further emphasized the consequences of swearing, suggesting that it could impact their children’s futures.
The leaked audio has sparked significant debate, particularly as it appears to support local SLPP candidate Kemson. Critics have used the recording to question the First Lady’s comments, while supporters argue that the discussion of swearing oaths is a common practice in political contexts.
Sylvia Blyden has emerged as one of the few voices defending Fatima Bio, arguing that swearing oaths is a traditional and necessary part of political life. Blyden criticized the mockery and misinterpretation of the audio, asserting that the focus should be on the substance of the discussion rather than sensationalism. She highlighted the importance of staying focused on political goals rather than being distracted by sensational interpretations of the audio.
The recording quickly caught the attention of Pararan mock news, where the content was ridiculed, leading to a wave of criticism against the First Lady. Many interpreted her remarks as indicative of internal party tensions, particularly regarding support for candidate Kemson.
The leaked audio has intensified scrutiny of the SLPP, as factions within the party grapple with internal elections and the implications of public statements by prominent figures. Supporters of the First Lady have expressed concern that the backlash could undermine party unity during this critical time.
They are looking for a scape goat should they loss the national delegate conference election.
If the First Lady is playing her own politics, you too should play your own rather than focusing on her.
If you feel threatened, that is a sign of cowardice.
All I know about politics is that you can only win by convincing the majority that you are the best.
If you aren’t the best, it won’t be easy to convince the majority. So, just keep a clean sheet, pray and move on. Leadership comes from God. If you aren’t the one, no matter what you do, you won’t sit on that chair.
If God says yes, no man, I repeat, no man will say no.
So, if you are the chosen one, just relax, you must sit on that throne.
