In recent days, social media has been awash with rumours suggesting that Sierra Leone’s First Lady, Dr. Fatima Maada Bio, harbors ambitions of becoming the next president after her husband.

Addressing these claims, Dr. Bio took to her official Facebook page to openly debunk the rumours, affirming her steadfast support for President Maada Bio and his transformative agenda for the country.

Dr. Fatima Maada Bio confronted the rumours directly, urging the public to focus on President Maada Bio’s significant achievements, particularly the “Big 5 Game Changer” initiatives, including the impactful Feed Salone program. She reiterated that her efforts are solely dedicated to supporting her husband’s vision for Sierra Leone and improving the lives of its citizens.

In her candid post, Dr. Bio made it clear that she has no intention of pursuing the presidency. She urged those spreading these unfounded claims to stop misrepresenting her intentions and to instead highlight the accomplishments of President Maada Bio.

“Please, if you want to write about such things, say it is your opinion and not write as if I sent it to you,” she asserted. Emphasizing that her agenda aligns with President Maada Bio’s until 2028, she expressed her commitment to serving the nation in her role as First Lady.

Dr. Fatima Maada Bio’s message is a call to action for the public and media to shift their focus from false narratives to the tangible progress being made under her husband’s leadership. She continues to champion the president’s initiatives, advocating for a collective focus on the country’s betterment rather than unfounded speculation.
