The former vice President in the APC-led Government, Victor Bockarie Foh has endorsed President Julius Maada Bio of same tribe and clanship to lead Sierra Leone again after the 2023 Presidential Elections.
The formal vice President also a Mende from the south made the endorsement at a fundraising Gala of the Bo Government Secondary School in Bo town in the southern province of Sierra Leone. Victor Bockarie Foh, a former diehard APC Party strongman with a chequered history of financial malfeasance going back to the celebrated Vouchergate scandal that erupted in this country, had served as the vice president of the Sierra Leone from March 19 2015 to April 4 2018 in the corrupt Government of former President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma.
A corrupt government that was implicated in the GTT Report submitted to the SLPP administration. Koroma himself escaped the Commission of Enquiry; the substance of what was discussed that led to his exculpation more or less was not explained to the electorate.

According to The Whispers Newspaper, the former opposite All People’s congress (APC) Party politician victor Bockarie Foh who was investigated and arraigned in ACC Court for corrupt practice now seemingly tergiversated, it appears spurred on by tribal lines, has endorsed Julius Maada Bio of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) throwing weight behind his kinsman to lead the country after the 2023 Presidential elections.
“You know, my brother, this country has become very polarized on tribal lines, and making progress, if at all; will be slow and painful. They’re all the same. It’s a merry-go-round. Tatu and yawa,” a disgusted observer has said.
