What is the scam all about? It centres on the dubious selection on Sunday, June 22, 2025, of the unfit Julius Maada Bio as ECOWAS chairman, a controversial situation that raised eyebrows nationally and internationally. Up to now, internal and external stakeholders are unhappy. (Photo: Mahama and Tinubu scammed by Bio).

Diplomatic sources say, before Maada Bio’s odd selection, he (Bio) had made deceitful promises to the outgoing ECOWAS Chairman, Ahmed Bola Tinubu and other big guns that if given the coveted chairmanship, he would do three vital things in return as a ‘Thank You’ note. But Bio is noted for not abiding by his signature.

First, the deceitful and electoral thief, Maada Bio, promised the ECOWAS commission that he would hand over power to the legitimate winner of the disputed June 24, 2023, elections in Sierra Leone, Dr Samura Kamara, within a week. (Photo: Dr Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf).

Secondly, Bio promised to give the Nigerian President Tinubu and the Ghanaian President John Mahama, and other ECOWAS cheats a hefty bribe in the region of millions of dollars to top up the astronomical 6 million dollars deposit already given to them.

Thirdly, the lying Bio promised to do everything democratic to clean the image of ECOWAS. As expected, the cheating Bio failed to carry out his golden promises within the timeframe, thereby leaving Tinubu and others disappointed. ECOWAS has indeed fallen apart.

The ECOWAS officials, eventually embarrassed by the situation, told the former Liberian President, Dr Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, about what had transpired and begged her to advise Bio to respect his promises. The veteran politician, Ellen, was shocked to hear the sad news. (Photos: Maada Bio has a PhD in coup-making. President-Elect Dr Samura Kamara, right).

Ellen immediately questioned Tinubu and others why she was not informed earlier, because she would have advised them not to believe a word of Maada Bio. However, as spilt milk cannot be recovered, Ellen went to Freetown last week to advise Bio to cooperate without success.

Now, the ECOWAS commission is in shambles, especially with information that the United States government and other Western democracies are unhappy with the two superpowers in West Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, for selling their birthright to madman Bio.

No wonder Nigeria and Ghana were publicly rejected from attending the White House summit from July 09 to July 11, 2025, to discuss pertinent issues surrounding security, trade and development between the five invited African Presidents and President Trump.

It beggars belief that Tinubu and co fail to know that Bio has a PhD in coup d’état. Thank goodness, the transition of power is on track, and the actual victor of the 2023 multi-tier elections, Dr Samura Kamara, will soon be declared the winner, either peacefully or through forceful means.
