MEET THE PRESIDENT OF SIERRA LEONE
By COCORIOKO Reporters
The President of Sierra Leone and Commander-in -chief of the Republic of Sierra Leone Military Forces, is actually Her Excellency Fatima Jabbie Bio. We have an elected President called Julius Maada Bio, but as it is, it is his wife, Fatima Bio controlling power in Sierra Leone.
1. She is more vocal than the elected president on national issues.
2. She is more physically present than the elected president The nation sees her far more than the president.
3 She is the most powerful person at State House. Those who cross her paths do not live to tell the story at State House. She is so powerful that she lashes the PH.D holders in the government whom she refers to as educated fools and nobody dares to say phin. The PH.D holders nor kraiss talk, or they will be out of the door .
4. She controls government money as the AFRICANIST PRESS investigations reveal. She has unlimited and unrestrained access to the Consolidated Fund. The Minister of Finance and Governor of the Bank of Sierra Leone shower her with government money, according to documentary evidence from the AFRICANIST PRESS .
5. She has the last say on government appointments and promotions. If e nor want you or you nor dey nar in good graces you will never get a job in the Paopa government . She goes through all appointments and promotions with a fine comb to make sure that none of her bellers are considered.
6 She announces major government news on Facebook, even before the elected president . When the MCC considered Sierra Leone compact-eligible, she was the first to announce it hours before the elected president.
7. When she and the president disappeared last year, the government and presidential spokesman announced that the president had gone on a private trip to Lebanon. When concerns began to rise in the nation about the president’s absence, she came out with the truth and the announcement, with supporting pictures and videos, that they were on honeymoon in Lebanon. When they ran out of money there, she hired a special flight to breeze into Sierra Leone to fetch more money.
8. The First Lady’s Office receives more government funding than the Office of the President, as exposed by investigative media and ministries, departments and agencies.
9. She decides who is granted executive clemency by the Office of the President . The exercise of presidential prerogative of mercy is in her hands. Nar wetin e say dey be. If e nor say am, e nor go be.
10. She has the power of arrest . The president is lampooned and slain in the social media everyday and not all perpetrators are ordered arrested, but when a female journalist recently referred to a woman dancing in a field like a prostitute, without naming the person, an arrest order for the journalist was immediately issued and troops surrounded the home of the journalist , even though she never mentioned her name. Oose power pass dat ?
11. According to theAFRICANIST PRESS investigative report , with supporting documents, she spent a whooping Le. 7.89 billion , just on shopping and receiving foreign guests . Not even the president spends that much on related matters. Some of the president’s safari suits have seen better days, but he limps on in them.
12. Never in the history of our nation has a First Lady ever inspected a guard of honor mounted by the Republic of Sierra Leone Military Forces. But this woman did.
13. When the elected president recently fired his much-condemned and loathed land-grabbing and private homes-demolishing Minister Of Lands , Dr. Dennis Sandy. this woman had the gumption to rehire him immediately as her assistant to go all over distributing sanitary pads to young women and even taking selfies together to show that if the despicable minister has lost the goodwill of the president, he has not done so with her.
