๐จ๐ธ๐ฑ APC SILENCE ON FATIMA BIOโS UN ACHIEVEMENT? ๐๐ฅ
Since yesterday, Sierra Leoneโs First Lady, Fatima Maada Bio, has been receiving recognition and appreciation from people and organisations around the world following the adoption at the United Nations of a resolution proposing an International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage. ๐บ๐ณ๐
But one thing has caught my attention. ๐
Where are the APC politicians?
Iโve seen prominent voices from different parts of the world acknowledging and congratulating the First Lady for an initiative that puts Sierra Leone on the global stage.
Yet, from our own political class, especially some APC politicians, the silence has been noticeable. ๐ค
And it raises a simple question:
Must everything become politics before we can celebrate Sierra Leone? ๐ธ๐ฑ
You can disagree with the SLPP.
You can oppose President Bio.
You can even disagree with Fatima Bio politically.
But when something potentially benefits Sierra Leone and advances the fight against child and forced marriage globally, shouldnโt we be able to say, โWell doneโ? ๐๐พ๐ธ๐ฑ
Because, as we say in Salone:
๐ฅ โIf nar bad news, you for don see am all sai!โ ๐
Politics should have boundaries. National achievements should belong to Sierra Leone, not just one political party.
So APC supporters and politicians, we are asking respectfully:
Is this not worth congratulating? ๐๐ธ๐ฑ
Letโs debate. ๐๐พ๐ฅ
