It is about knowing that Bio’s agenda is PREMISED solely on his CONVICTION and DRIVE to carry the citizens along; to guarantee even and equitable development across the length and breath of the country.
He doesn’t want any Sierra Leonean to be left behind.

These accomplishments became the foundation on which the success of governance and the guarantee of the dividend of democracy had been built in Maada Bio’s first term.
You will agree, that it only makes common sense for him to resume office after you must have VOTED him back in office come this Saturday, June 24, 2023.
Surely, if he can achieve all these in his first tenure, he will CONSOLIDATE on the gains he has made and expand the scope and reach of his agenda; for the sole purpose of ENSURING that NO SIERRA LEONIAN is LEFT BEHIND!
He will turn the country into the NEXT BIG THING on the planet.
It is his PASSION and OBSESSION; to BUILD Sierra Leone into Africa’s Super Economy.
All he needs you to do is to VOTE for him this Saturday.
