Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden, a prominent figure in Sierra Leone, publicly criticized President Julius Maada Bio for what she describes as a breakdown in governance and a lack of support for First Lady Fatima Bio.
In a recent social media post, Blyden voiced her concerns about the Chief Minister’s conduct and the perception of his role within the Cabinet. She emphasized that only the President and Vice President hold the title of “Head of all Ministers,” arguing that the Chief Minister should not be seen as superior to other Ministers. Her remarks came in the wake of what she refers to as a campaign of disrespect towards the First Lady.
Blyden condemned the President’s failure to protect his wife from the perceived disrespect, suggesting that such actions reflect poorly on his leadership. She questioned whether Bio feared being viewed as weak if he were to stand up for her, pointing to the inconsistency between his promotion of women’s empowerment and his actions regarding the First Lady.
“I blame President Maada Bio for all this MESS happening around his “Chief Minister”. He is the key person to blame. His historical legacy will reflect how he created an unconscionable MESS in our great country’s well written and enacted governance system,” Blyden expressed on her post, vehemently. She further expressed disappointment in President Bio’s handling of governance, claiming that he is ultimately responsible for the chaos surrounding his administration.
Blyden added that maintaining a strong and respectful governance structure is essential, pointing to the sacred Constitution that upholds equality among Cabinet Ministers. She urged President Bio to take responsibility for his actions and to raise his level of governance for the betterment of Sierra Leone.
As the President navigates these criticisms, the spotlight remains on his administration’s ability to foster respect and cooperation within the government, as well as the treatment of women in positions of influence. Blyden concluded by asserting that history will remember how President Bio’s governance has shaped the country’s political landscape.
The comments made by Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden have sparked discussions about leadership and accountability in Sierra Leone’s government, raising questions about the future direction of President Bio’s legacy.
What in heaven’s name is going on in the Bio household? I know Blyden is a crazy woman with no filters and that can come out at any time and just make any kind of statement, but how is she out in public “defending” Fatima against her husband and attacking him? I can’t help but think Fatima put her up to this because I don’t see how else she could do this. And if she did it on her own, under normal circumstances, Fatima would tell her thank you, but you need to stop.
This is too much, going between two couples lives in the public.aaaa salone.
Let The president Bio provide her a job.
