The June 24th, 2023 Multi -Tier Elections are NOT OVER until they are OVER, Says Dr. Samura MW Kamara. Let me add that the electoral thief, Maada Bio will be kicked out forcefully if he refuses to go quietly. Sierra Leone will never enjoy peace for as long as Maada Bio continues to squirt in state house.
The world has passed that now, you don’t just say things without proof of video or photos. Until we see a video or photos, I don’t know what to believe anymore. People get into accidents and others video or take a photo of them not to talk of bombs for the first time in history. I rest my case.
