Former Chairman of the NPRC. on the November 26th Failed Coup Attempt
“Fellow Sierra Leoneans,
It is with great disappointment and concern that I addressed you today regarding the failed coup attempt that took place on November 26th. As someone who has experienced the consequences and devastation caused by a coup, I feel compelled to speak out against such actions and condemn them in the strongest possible terms.
Having led the NPRC coup on April 29th, 1992, I understand the chaos, violence, and instability that a coup can bring upon a nation. It is a dark chapter in our history that we should strive to overcome and never repeat. The attempted coup on November 26th represents a threat to the hard-earned peace and progress that Sierra Leone has achieved over the years.
A coup undermines the foundations of democracy, erodes trust in our institutions, and disrupts the lives of ordinary citizens. It tears apart the fabric of our society and jeopardizes the future of our beloved nation. We can not allow such reckless actions to go unpunished or unchecked.
I stand with the government, the security forces, and our people in condemning this failed coup attempt. We must come together as a nation to support the ongoing investigations and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. It is crucial that we maintain the rule of law and protect the democratic values that we have fought so hard to uphold.
I call upon all Sierra Leoneans to remain calm, vigilant, and united during this challenging time. Let us not allow this incident to divide us or create unnecessary fear and anxiety. Instead, let it serve as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding our democracy and working together to build a stronger and more prosperous Sierra Leone.
We must learn from our past and strive for a future where political disagreements are resolved through peaceful means, dialogue, and respect for the rule of law. Let us focus on fostering national unity, promoting civic education, and empowering our citizens to actively participate in the democratic process.
Together, we can overcome this setback and continue our journey towards peace, stability, and prosperity. Sierra Leone deserves a brighter future, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that we protect and preserve it for generations to come.
May God bless Sierra Leone and guide us in the path of peace and progress.”

See who is talking 😂😂
Wan shame e nor gt wan shame sef twww
Well said
Bo go wait
Thank you
Valentine Strasser is one of the distructive element that contributed immensely in the backwardness of the nation. And I hope he has learnt his lesson.
Pure hypocrisy. Is there any semblance of true democracy in Sierra today?, no not at all. Definitely democracy died in 2018. All we now have and witnessing today, is a country run by megalomaniac, hoodlums, and thugs.
I definitely hate hypocrite. Were have this mentally retarded man been all this while, Valentine, so you now agree that the coup d’état against major general Joseph momoh was wrong. Why are you now advocating for non coup d’état in Sierra Leone.
Dammed hypocrite. Is the bogus June 2023 elections not a coup d’état against the people of Sierra Leone.
The illegality & illegitimacy of defunct & dysfunctional Bio now illegitimately occupying the state house, is that not a coup d’état, it’s constructively a coup d’état against the people of Sierra Leone and country.
Shut up valentine, your so-called relevance has already expired. The blood of all those innocent people you killed shall fight u to the end.
For you shall suffer & not know peace till your last breath. Shut up man, shut up. You have no relevance in this matter.
Old Expired goods wow.
Rest my case.
Strasser is right man
The Sierra Leone Temne people will never and ever accept the almighty God did.
All they want is power with nonsense activities around the country.
Am so sorry to say this but as an a northernan, i studied my people with a lot of hypocrisy and tribalism in their blood vessels.
Sierra Leone is not a one tribe county, i will like all of us to understand that.
The elders of the North zone are not working with their brains correctly in terms of development and to be good hearted people, they are too selfish in terms of gaining selfish profit when they are in power.
I am not talking about unity again because it will never happen again between them and the southern region Bo.
When you want to gain the hearts of the people, you most be patient and be kind to extra people to gain control of the entire country.
But an APC supporter i advice the Ledgen of party to take out the radicalism out of the party to be be in very good shape.
What is wrong with my compatriots. Have you forgotten so soon. Let’s embrace peace
