UN Secretary-General Congratulates President Bio on Re-Election

In a global broadcast during the ECOWAS Summit, the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, extended congratulations to Julius Maada Bio for his successful re-election as President of Sierra Leone.

The felicitations, delivered on behalf of the entire United Nations, were received with gratitude by President Bio during the live event.

Special Representative for West Africa and the Sahel, H.E. Leonardo Santos Simão, conveyed the message on behalf of Secretary-General Guterres and thanked the Government of Sierra Leone for the successful conduct of the multi-tier elections held on June 24th.

President Bio expressed his deep appreciation for the numerous congratulatory messages and warm fraternal felicitations on his well-deserved re-election.

He took the opportunity to extend his formal congratulations to his brother and colleague, H.E Ahmed Bola Tinubu, who attended his first ECOWAS Heads of State Summit as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

During the summit, President Bio reaffirmed his commitment to support the ECOWAS transition agenda for the restoration of democratic constitutional rule in Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Mali. He emphasized the importance of political governance and security within the Community.

President Bio also highlighted Sierra Leone’s successful elections, describing them as free, fair, credible, and peaceful.

He expressed gratitude to Dr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas and the ECOWAS Election Observation Mission Team for their professionalism and diligence in observing the elections.

The United Nations also extended similar congratulations to Nigerian President His Excellency Ahmed Bola Tinubu on his election earlier this year. Furthermore, the organization promised to provide support for similarly successful presidential elections scheduled to take place in Liberia later this year.

This is complete nonsense. Infact this is a made up story by the SLPP junta government. If the elections were Free and Fair as said by Ma'ada Bio Ma'ada Bio you can can go to sleep. Ma'ada Bio you won the Elections by 39.4%> The International Observers of the June 24th 2023 elections in Sierra Leone then were very Stupid and the RR Forms were False. Ma'ada Bio, the people of Sierra Leone want you to just produce documents to support your winning Victory.. The UN Secretary General had a Representative in the Tripartite Committee meetings and The Secretary of the Tripartite Committee must have reported what transpired in the meetings Ma'ada Bio, some of us are more educated than you. You cannot keep lying to your better. I know you have used to deceiving your Mende brothers. You will not succeed with other tribes in this country. Ma'ada Bio, Dr. Samura Kamara alone can remove you from State House and he is succeeding in his venture. He is using his pen to remove you from power. Ma'ada Bio, you yourself know that you Lost the elections. Why do you think Sierra Leoneans are as STUPID as you are?;. Why do you think the ECOWAS is troops are coming to Sierra Leone? Do you think they are coming to Restore you,? If so we shall soon see. Ma'ada Bio, I tell you before the end of the Year, you shall find yourself in the ICC prisons. Ma'ada Bio, you your writers and your stupid supporters have deceived the people of Sierra Leone. Infact, You are not interested in the affaires of the people of this country. Your interest is to STEAL the resources of this country and invest them in other countries. Ma'ada Bio, you would soon realize yourself. Ma'ada Bio, the UN Secretary General is as Idiot as you are. He actually knows what he is doing. He will disappoint or betray his conscience. He is a man of Integrity, not like you and other politicians in this country. Ma'ada Bio, you have succeeded in CORRUPTING other politicians with BRIBES. Ma'ada Bio you cannot succeed in bribing the UN Secretary General. Ma'ada Bio, go back and Think Properly.

Those idiots are always shouting the name of the international community; how is the market? Maada Bio is well-recognised by the International community and he is the duly elected president of Sierra Leone. Whether you like it or not. APC just keep on using Adebayo to insult all the imams and pastors in the country and hope to win elections. You guys are dreaming.

Sierra Leoneans both home and the diaporas please don't fall on this idiot that make this nonsense write up to big fool there foolish SLPP supporters. Ask the foolish writer of the nonsense to produce the video of where United Nations make such statement. Do you think that the white people are like we the blacks , when they said A, they mean A. The longest time this illigetimate man call Maada Bio will stay here is 6 months. We are going to have independence body to conduct fresh re-run. After applying all deplomacy means and engagement with Maada Bio, if he continues to make reluctance there will be international intervention to forcefully removed him with disgrace mark my words. Please Sierra Leoneans don't for there fake write up.

Peter Gassimu | 2023-07-10 17:06:18

If you don't want to accept him as your president then that's your business as far as we are concerned, those who voted for President Bio are Sierra Leoneans too so when saying you the so called people did not vote for him note that we as patriotic Sierra Leoneans voted and demonstrated our rights through the ballot boxes and it is clear that we are in majority. You better come back to your senses quickly before it is too late or before you realize that you have been wasting time fighting a senseless battle.
Joseph Bio | 2023-07-10 17:02:53

It's hypothesis, but if it's not finally the international community is aruntrustworthy to highest degree

Sahid Mohamed Kamara | 2023-07-10 13:21:33

The majority of Sierra Leoneans are disappointed by people they expect much from. To even say that one of the most respected human beings on earth, the gentleman who preaches democracy in this world, the gentleman who holds high , preaches and guides the principles of human rights can come so low to congratulate the former killer President of Sierra Leone , a dictator, a lier, a destroyer of democracy and human rights violator in Sierra Leone, a president that bribes Journalists, stole money from the Central Bank to an extent that the Bank Governor ran away for fear of being blamed, a man who killed more than five hundred armless prisoners at the Pademba road prison, a man who ordered his security forces to shoot at protesters, a man with a lot of blood in his hands and brought a lot of untold sufferings to the people of Sierra Leone; is congratulated by the UN Secretary General for stealing the democratic rights of the people of Sierra Leone and installed himself as president. I am sure the African Union observers, the EU observers, the local observers, diplomats, Ambassadors, the Common Wealth observers, the British observers, International credible journalists among others have described the June 24th elections in Sierra Leone as one that lacks Transparency and Credibility. The rebel leader Maada Bio and his ECSL Commissioner stole the democratic rights of the people of Sierra Leone in broad daylight. Sierra Leone is sitting on a time bomb. We the ordinary Sierra Leoneans will not accept rigged elections results. By the way, why did the ECSL Commissioner refused to publish the RRF forms signed by the ECSLstaff, the observers and all political party representatives in polling centers and stations? If the UN, the Commonwealth, the African Union, the US, the UK and all others fail to help Sierra Leone to restore back our hard won democracy, the people of Sierra Leone will be at the mercy of a rebel government led by a dictator and a killer. Indeed the people of Sierra Leone are in utter distress........ LONTHA Long live Sierra Leone..... Long live Democracy......!
Ambassador Alie | 2023-07-10 10:33:19

Why Maada Bio don't mention transparency which is the key and major problem of this particular outcome of Sierra Leone elections results. Maada Bio is better for you to hand over power safu to the rightful winner of the June 24th 2023 His Excellency Dr. Samura Kamara who was overwhelmely voted by the citizens of Sierra Leone for economic crisis under the failed president Julius Maada Bio, the human rights abuser former president and the current illigetimate president of one tribe and one region. The longest time you will take 3 or 6months you will take off from that seat. You are not fit for a purpose. The majority of Sierra Leone don't need you anymore. You and Konneh are going to pay for your criminal actions.
