The illegal President Bio does not want to hand over power peacefully to the real winner Dr Samura Kamara of the main opposition APC party. Bio and the rest of his SLPP party officials had vowed and continue to swear and had even taken a secret cult never to hand over power to the APC party for reasons best known to them. And having tried to grab power by force and dilly-dallying the Tripartite Committee investigations, it’s now apparent the Bio presidency has run out of luck.

Now, the beleaguered Maada Bio and his SLPP agents are playing the last dice to hang on to State House by unlawful means. That is why they are planning to orchestrate another fake military coup and to overthrow themselves to give the false impression that it was the disgruntled Sierra Leone Armed Forces who do not want Maada Bio’s style of governance anymore. Bio had hatched these dangerous plans with his one tribe hegemonic soldiers to oust him so as to protect him and SLPP caboodle from any impending judicial adjudication. Reports say the APC leader Dr Samura Kamara is a top target.

It would be like old wine in a new bottle. The same Bio soldiers would take power while Maada Bio would be controlling affairs remotely. But any plans to disrupt the Tripartite process would be met with stiff resistance. Last night, the frightening information about Maada Bio planning a self-coup should not be taken with a pinch of salt. Everyone knows about the history of Maada Bio’s coup d’etats and considering the immense pressure he is facing today, all patriotic Sierra Leoneans are calling on the international community to pay keen attention to Maada Bio. As this news resurfaced any information could not be taken for granted, ECOMOG forces on the ground should be alert to thwart any attempt by Bio to disrupt the Tripartite.

The palace coup being planned by Maada Bio has alerted the people of suffering people of Sierra Leone who are in the majority and they determined to make sure that no military overthrow would be allowed in the country. Reports say Maada Bio had wanted the palace coup to take place on Thursday but it did not take place because of leaked information. As Sierra Leoneans patiently await June 29 Tripartite deadline today, global partners are urged to pay keen attention to what is happening in the country. These few days are crucial times for the security and democracy of the nation. The international community has praised the relentlessness of Sierra Leoneans. The Save Democracy military wing has warned Bio to desist from any palace coup as the coupists would be removed within hours.

And yesterday’s development at the main opposition APC party’s head office in Freetown where they met to finalise the Report for the Tripartite Committee, the Bio regime is not happy for the good news that came out of the APC meeting. It was agreed that the Report must include the fact that Dr Samura Kamara won the June 24, 2023 elections. So, the unsuitable word ‘Recounting’ has been removed, but it was replaced with a ‘Re-Run’ as an alternative to the winning of Dr Samura Kamara. Celebrations erupted in and outside Sierra Leone as a result. This is not good news for Maada Bio which will further force them to execute the fake coup.

Meanwhile. today June 29, the deadline day, patriotic Sierra Leoneans are expected to stay at home to observe how the international community would deal with the fragile situation. Last week, the foreign visitors clearly took notice of the mass sit-at-home strike by disgruntled Sierra Leoneans during the June 19, 2024 meeting at Brookfields Hotel and at the State House between a SLPP and APC. All the major streets in the capital Freetown and other towns in the country were completely empty as the people decided to stay in their houses. All the market sites, stores and other offices and businesses, and schools were shut down to wait for the Tripartite Committee.

It was a complete shutdown in the country, a move that stagnate the economic situations in the country. From their vehicles during their movements from one place to another, the international visitors saw the empty streets and stores and offices closed. The mass sit-down protest by the people sent a clear message to the international community that the people are very determined to see a positive outcome from the Tripartite Committee recommendations. Finally, the foreign visitors were very impressed with the voters who want their votes cast to be respected. Sources say the international community have praised the people for their resilience and urge seeing democracy return. That is why Bio’s planned coup must be nipped in the bud.
