From last night, voice experts have gone on to study Khadija Sesay’s audio forensically to ascertain 100% that Khadija Sesay of OGI is truly not Aunty Kadie of the USA. If she is not as claimed, then the main question remains: who is Aunty Kadie of the USA? (Photo: Khadija Sesay spoke last night to clear the air).

Her twin sister Zara, based in the UK, spoke first yesterday to defend her sister Khadija Sesay, based in the USA. That was after Sierra Leoneans demanded that Khadija Sesay, the former director of OGI at the Office of President Ernest Koroma, speak out. Thankfully, she did speak last night.

She made it clear that she is not Aunty Kadie of the USA. Great to clear the air. That is why Khadija Sesay speaking out last night to clarify the ongoing photos is good news. And this can resolve the first hurdle to explain that Khadija Sesay, the former director of the OGI at the Office of President Ernest Koroma, is not Aunty Kadie but Khadija Sesay.

Family members and close friends have all defended Khadija Sesay after seeing her pictures on social media and confirmed that she is not Aunty Kadie of the USA. All those who saw the photos published by Mista Salone are 100% certain that she is Khadija Sesay of OGI.

Khadija Sesay has rightly confirmed that she is not living a double life by speaking out in audio or video clips. This is because there are some people who cannot be sure 100% if Khadija Sesay has changed her voice to secretly become Aunty Kadie of the USA. But last night, she clarified that she is not Aunty Kadie.

Let it be made clear here that the Organiser newspaper is not accusing Khadija Sesay of any foul play. The reason why this newspaper is reporting this is in the interests of Sierra Leoneans who want to know who Aunty Kadie, the Good Samaritan, really is. (Photo: Khadija Sesay during OGI heyday).

Living a double life is always possible where some human beings are concerned. Even twins can live double lives without the other knowing, despite living in the same house. You rarely know what a brother or sister does in his or her other life if he or she does not tell you the whole truth.

Living a double life is possible, though it is not a normal way of living. This is because it keeps relatives in the dark, totally oblivious of what is happening. Popular social media blogger Wurie APC was the first to confirm that the Mista Salone photos are Khadija Sesay.

“Khadija Sesay is my sister. She is a twin. Her twin sister Zara lives in the UK,” Wurie APC commented with confidence. Many others have denounced the pictures as not Aunty Kadie. It remains to be seen if the person they think is Aunty Kadie is the real person Aunty Kadie.

That is why it is incumbent upon Khadija Sesay of OGI to make things easier for the questions to be answered by coming out to clear her name. And that is what she did last night to speak, and the clarification is welcomed. But the question remains.

The question of who Aunty Kadie is will not go away as long as Aunty Kadie decides to stay in the dark. Keeping silent will only escalate speculation, uncertainty, and doubt. Sierra Leone will not tolerate a secret society democracy. The voters would like to know who is helping them and who is not.

The ongoing Aunty Kadie episode will not derail the political transition of power. The illegitimate President Julius Maada Bio will be forced to transfer power to the legitimate President-elect Dr Samura Kamara. The Khadija Sesay and Aunty Kadie episode will not stop anything. Below is Khadija Sesay’s written response (Photo: Khadija Sesay).

A Message of Gratitude, Clarity, and Truth – Former OGI/ OGP Boss Khadija Sesay

Yesterday was a difficult and unexpected day, but it also reminded me of the value of a good name, a life lived openly, and people who are willing to stand for the truth. I have recorded this message not in response to anyone’s ultimatum or demand, but out of respect and gratitude to the many people who spoke up for me, defended my character, corrected the misinformation, and reached out to ensure that the truth was known. The allegations made about me arose from a case of mistaken identity.

I have never hidden behind another identity to express my views or intentions. Those who know me know that I speak openly, stand by my convictions, and use established and responsible channels to make my position known. To everyone who stood for truth and fairness yesterday – even those who did not know me personally but took the time to seek the facts – thank you. Your voices meant more to me than you may realise. This audio is my own voice, in my own words, and on my own terms.

With gratitude,

Khadija Sesay
