When news of the meeting between the British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, and the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, in 10 Downing Street, emerged yesterday, it struck patriotic Sierra Leoneans to the heart. Be patient; the restoration of democracy is very close. (Photo: PM Starmer received President Mahama yesterday).

The Starmer/Mahama meeting sends a simple message. Democratic nations do not entertain undemocratic, unelected, and illegal presidents in their midst. It is even worse for leaders who are involved in the transhipment of dangerous drugs such as cocaine, like Bio.

For over two weeks, cocaine leader Bio lobbied and tried to have an audience with Starmer, but to no avail. Bio, who reportedly bribed the Black Student Society at Oxford University £200,000 to get a spot to make a speech and later at Cambridge Uni, did his best but failed.

The famous black door at number 10 did not open for poor Bio. But it did open for the democratically elected President of Ghana, Mahama, yesterday. What a shame and embarrassment for the people of Sierra Leone. (Photos: President Mahama in the UK and illegal President Bio).

Reports close to the High Commission in London say the Sierra Leone envoy, Dr Morie Komba Manyeh, even knocked on doors around Whitehall to pave the way for his boss, Bio, to meet top UK government officials, but those efforts also did not yield any positive results.

It was a total humiliation for the Sierra Leone presidency. Ignored and rejected in the UK, the lack of access for Bio, who stole the June 24, 2023, elections, to meet Starmer and other key UK government officials, is another stark reminder that Bio is unwanted and his days are numbered.

Unlike the democratically elected Ghanaian President, Mahama, he did not have any problems meeting Starmer. The meeting was already in his diary before he departed Ghana for London, where he addressed Chatham House, among other vital meetings. (Photo: Starmer and Mahama yesterday).

President Mahama also met top business investors in London, and at the end of his successful visit, the Ghanaian government was able to accrue a whopping £230 million pounds sterling in investments. President Mahama spent less than five days in the UK to succeed.

Shamefully, the cocaine President from Sierra Leone, Bio, was treated rightly like a plague, a pariah state only fit for the dustbin of history. Bio left the UK quietly like a common criminal, dejected and abandoned like a sunken sailor.

No photos or videos with PM Starmer or British investors were shown by the Bio regime. Had any of these meetings taken place, the propaganda-crazy SLPP regime would have splashed them on social media to bluff. Poor Bio is a virus that will be kicked out shortly.
