Yeabu Zainab Sheriff, Leader of the “Wi Duty – The Lappa Movement,” has made a bold declaration, stating that if she is elected President of Sierra Leone, her first action will be to impose a nationwide travel ban on all Sierra Leoneans.
Sheriff argued that the travel ban would remain in place until the country is “fixed,” asserting that it is crucial for citizens to stay in the country and contribute to its development.
In a statement that has drawn both attention and criticism, Sheriff emphasized the importance of national unity and commitment, highlighting that the country’s biggest challenge is the tendency of political leaders and citizens alike to leave the country at times of crisis.
She further explained that the travel ban would apply to all Sierra Leoneans, regardless of individual circumstances or business needs.
“When I become the President of Sierra Leone, the first thing I will do is to impose a travel ban on all Sierra Leoneans,” Sheriff declared during an interview. “Nobody will leave this country until we fix this place. Nobody will leave until the country is fixed.”
When pressed on the issue of citizens who may have personal business abroad, Sheriff remained firm in her stance, insisting that the country’s problems stem from its leaders and citizens constantly fleeing the nation instead of staying to address its challenges. “Sierra Leone’s biggest problem is that the leaders are always running away from their country,” she remarked.
Sheriff added that as long as one is a Sierra Leonean, they should remain in the country and contribute to its progress. She emphasized that her leadership approach is aimed at fixing Sierra Leone, and that imposing a travel ban does not infringe upon the rights of individuals. “This does not mean that I do not respect people’s rights,” she said. “It simply means we need to stay here and work together to build the nation.”
The leader also noted that many Sierra Leoneans, especially the youth, are yearning to leave the country. She revealed that, according to her, 77 percent of Sierra Leoneans are currently wishing to leave the country but do not have the opportunity to do so.
It sounds funny. Leadership is not about paper qualifications, it is a calling, probably lacking in this over jealous young woman.
If no one should travel, then no foreign diplomatic offices should be created or run by the government and no officials from other countries would come to Sierra Leone. Development in isolation with no friends attached, mission impossible my dear.
Is she appoints Ambassadors
This is the most ridiculous statement I’ve never heard from someone that wants to become President of Sierra Leone.It is a wishful thinking that comes from an immature wanna-be Politician,that is making herself a laughing stock in the Sierra Leone political landscape.
