Highly placed United Nations sources have hinted that there is less than a 5% probability of the illegitimate President Maada Bio representing Sierra Leone at the United Nations General Assembly Summit in September 2026 in New York.

This diplomatic information reached the Organiser newspaper last night in the aftermath of rife speculation that Maada Bio has recruited corrupt US lobbyists to lobby for him at the UN headquarters in New York to allow him to attend the UN Summit next month.

Inside sources have confirmed that there will be no red carpet for Maada Bio in New York; he is not expected to represent Sierra Leone. “We will not entertain a Head of State who does not win an election anymore,” the anonymous UN source confided last night.

It would come as a thunderbolt blow to Maada Bio, who is relying on his lobbyists to cajole top UN officials to pave the way for his Sierra Leone delegation to attend. Bio has reportedly given millions of US dollars to his lobbyists to carry out bribery and corruption.

Information so far has confirmed that the lobbying has failed big time. It apparently means that for the first time since 2018, the illegal President Maada Bio, who stole the June 24, 2023 elections in broad daylight, will not represent Sierra Leone in New York.

The question remains unanswered: who will represent Sierra Leone at next month’s UN Summit? Even the diplomatic sources contacted bluntly refused to reveal who will represent the country in New York. No worries, as the expected absence of Bio at the UN Summit is welcome news for 2023 voters.

Despite occupying State House after he fraudulently stole the 2023 elections, Bio is under tremendous pressure, such as experiencing a lack of sleep, quiet, and peace of mind. This is due to the steadfastness of President-elect Dr Samura Kamara to fight for the people’s mandate to be respected.

Today, stressed Bio is caged like a fangless viper with no hope in sight of sustaining his electoral thievery. But the mind game player Bio has continued his fruitless lobbying tactics in the international arena, this time at the UN General Assembly UNGA.

This is invariably translated into one vital, conclusive outcome, i.e. that the restoration of democracy that will usher in the transfer of power to the legitimate President-elect Dr Samura Kamara is a matter of when and not if. It means Bio’s days are truly numbered.

No amount of distractions by the cocaine-infested SLPP/Paopa bandits to frustrate the implementation of the Tripartite Agreement and the political transition of power will delay or stop the transition process and the swearing-in of the 2023 winner, Dr Samura Kamara, the people’s choice.
