SLPP Politician Kadiru Kaikai Tenders Apology For War Threats

Prominent Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) member, Kadiru Kaikai has issued a heartfelt apology following his alarming remarks concerning the 2028 presidential elections.

The apology comes after a video featuring Kaikai threatening violence if he is not chosen as the party’s flag bearer went viral, causing widespread public outrage.

In the controversial video, Kaikai, speaking in the local Krio language, declared, “If I am not given the flag bearer position, I will wage war in this country, and it will be worse than the last one.” His statement quickly drew sharp criticism and calls for accountability, with many citizens and political figures condemning his incendiary comments.

Reflecting on his words, Kaikai expressed deep regret and acknowledged the gravity of his statement. “Upon reflection on the statement I made regarding the 2028 presidential elections, I have come to terms with the fact that it was dangerous, irresponsible, and had no place in our society,” he stated. “From the bottom of my heart, I tender my profound apology to the entire nation for that unfortunate incident.”

Kaikai emphasized his commitment to peace and democracy, saying, “As a responsible and peaceful citizen, and as a husband and father, I hereby recommit myself to ensuring that, going forward, my words and actions will consistently respect our democratic principles, consolidate our peace, and embrace national unity.”

He also acknowledged the significant public reaction to his statement and praised the collective stand for peace. “I wish to commend the public for demonstrating that, regardless of our divisions, we continue to stand together for peace. I could not be prouder of my fellow citizens.”

Concluding his apology, Kaikai expressed hope that this incident would serve as a lesson for all to promote peace in their words and actions. “Once again, my sincere apologies, and I hope that this serves as a lesson for all of us to maintain peace in our words and actions. May Allah Bless Sierra Leone.”

The incident has cast a spotlight on the growing tensions within the SLPP as the party prepares for future leadership contests, raising concerns about potential political instability in Sierra Leone.

If this had come from an opposition member, it would have been treated more seriously as a threat to the nation. I know by now, that person would have been behind bars. Those were not just mere words. In my candid opinion, this fellow should bear some punishment for those indespicable words he spewed.

He has shown himself to be a danger to our country, another paopa bastard. Hope the SLPP sees the danger and clips his wings. Is this how you get the flagbearer role, by threatening war? He is a danger. We better not ignore it. He needs to be kicked out the party. And to the police, we are watching. We know how seriously this would have been dealt with if he was APC.

Irrespective of your apology if you try any dangerous act you will not be speared . Dangerous act must be treated with danger infected intends. Foday Sankoh tried it he never witness the end Johnny Paul koroma tried it became another Adolf Hitler his whereabout is a mystery. Kadiru Abdul Kaikai quench that foolish idea or expect the unexpected without any regrets. Our adorable and noble party will never yield to any threaten, ask Charles Margai . As you have said ,you have forgiven but near any convention with that rubbish intentions.

The Tribalistic Monster Head Of The Disbanded Kamajor Militia Group, Abdul Kadiru Kaikai's apology is unacceptable. In a very recent video after his invitation to the police station, Kadiru was seen dancing in celebration of his idiotic utterances about waging War again against Sierra Leoneans. It seems as if they didn't learn any lessons when Hinga Norman, the Kamajor head died in prison due to his role in the 11 years war. We'll continue to inform the international community and the international criminal courts of justice. Clearly, his video message was not incitement but a carefully thought out and well planned notion with Maada Bio and others to continue to wreck havoc on Sierra Leone. They should be ashamed of themselves for all their barbaric acts. Sierra Leone will be liberated from all evil doers!

Kaikai emphasized his commitment to peace and democracy, saying, “As a responsible and peaceful citizen, and as a husband and father, I hereby recommit myself to ensuring that, going forward, my words and actions will consistently respect our democratic principles, consolidate our peace, and embrace national unity. You are not a citizen of the Republic of Sierra Leone. And you are not a responsible man, if you truly you are you should not say sure. But it fine.
