AMB. JOHN LEIGH EXPOSES BIO BIG TIME ON FACEBOOK
Please take time to read a brilliant and factual narratives from a former Sierra Leone Ambassador to the USA for 6 years and at a time when Sierra Leone faced its darkest hours in political turmoil and conflict or rebel war. The responses from Bio's supporters are insults and abuse of the esteem former Ambassador who also happens to be a USA trained economist and a Lawyer. There is no attempt by the paopas to either defend or refute these glaring authoritive accounts which comprehensively and convincingly exposed Bio as a lair and a fraudster who is unfit to lead the oldest political party in the subregion.

By John Leigh:
Lets correct, point-for-point, PAOPA Mr. Sahr Lebbie’s erroneous beliefs regarding Madder Bio’s lie-lie propaganda. Said propaganda is designed to fool and mislead some of his slpp Mende people to again make him slpp flag bearer. Bio may fool some of his people but he cannot fool the rest of the people of Sierra Leone at the General Elections.
What a writer, Sahr Lebbie, recently posted in this forum as his beliefs regarding Bio public service record is posited below under the rubric “PAOPA” and numbered for ease of reference. The true historical facts in response are posted here by me under the rubric “CORRECTION #_”. And lets get started from Mr. Lebbie's post in strict chronological sequence as follows.
1.PAOPA �- Maada became Head of State under the N.P.R.C regime �
The day Bio overthrew Captain Strasser
CORRECTION#1: Bio was junta chairman for 3 months after overthrowing Strasser by getting his fellow juvenal junta boys to double-cross, brutalize him and deport him to Conakry. No registered voter ever elected Bio as head of state. He was there by the force of gun as a Foot of State.
2. PAOPA�- He handed over power to civilian government to ensure that democracy becomes the father of freedom
CORRECTION #2: After the NPRC II's attempt to derail the 1996 their election and stay in power failed following their successful coup against their boss Capt. Strasser, the donor nations forced all the NPRC junta boys to surrender power to the winner of the multi-party election as directed by Dr. James Jonah, the Chairman of the Interim National Electoral Commission, or face arrest and prosecution for Treason and other crimes.
But an olive branch was offered the junta boys to stay on and observe the election peacefully and quietly in good conduct. And that if they behave themselves and vacate power when the new president is inaugurated, they would each be compensated with an all-expense paid scholarship abroad for 4 years and provided they each stayed away for the full 4 years, they won’t be prosecuted.
�
3. PAOPA�- Maada left Sierra Leone for the United State of America to seek asylum after he handed over power
CORRECTION #3: Bio did not go to the USA to seek asylum. He would never have been granted US asylum because he and his junta boys were notorious killers, thieves and abusers of human rights. Bio and his junta boys were poorly educated with no more than a Form Six education. Hence, it was the Donor nations forced the junta boys to go abroad to study under terms of a Settlement between Civil Society and Donor nations on the one hand and the junta boys on the other hand. Donor nations made it easier for the junta boys to go away in peace by offering them money.
The entire junta was told that upon Dr. Jonah naming the election winner and with Tejan Kabbah’s immediate inauguration, the NPRC junta must swiftly and immediately be dissolved and every junta boy, including Bio, was forced to pack out of their military quarters and depart Sierra Leone quickly for at least 4 years.
Each of the NPRC Junta boys without exception was given a visa to the countries where their colleges were located plus scholarships and money for books, lodging and incidental expenses. Some went to the UK, others went to the USA Bio went to Washington where I was ambassador for 6 years.
And after those 4 years were over, the US immediately told Bio to vacate the US or deported in handcuffs.
For your information, a legitimate asylee in the US would have been granted a Green Card after a year. Bio does not have a Green Card or a re-entry visa for the US.
�4. PAOPA�- - He became the first leader to speak to Foday Sankoh when he took over power
CORRECTION #4: After the NPRC junta boys’ successful coup against their boss, Capt. Strasser, the junta boys tried to keep power for themselves and prolong the life of their brutal, thieving juvenal junta. Their foolish ploy was to deceitfully claim that the people want peace before elections. So the junta boys and their civilian backers in National Unity Party contacted Foday Sankoh through relatives in the RUF, such as Bio’s sister and elder brother Stephen Bio, to bogusly talk peace with Foday Sankoh. A junta delegation led by Bio and an RUF delegation led by Sankoh traveled to Ivory Coast to talk peace soon after but Foday Sankoh laughed at small boy Bio and nothing ever came out of that silly meeting. The whole idea was a childish scam to keep the brutal junta in power for as long as possible.
Meanwhile, Civil Society vehemently opposed the junta’s attempt to delay Sierra Leone first multi-party elections in nearly 30 years and demanded that only the Elected Representatives of the people, not members of a brutal, thieving uneducated discredited juvenal soldiers toting guns, must conduct peace negotiations. The people of Sierra Leone plus ALL donor nations plus ALL multi-lateral organizations requested ELECTIONS-BEFORE-PEACE.
When the junta boys refused to agree but instead begged for more time to enjoy, 3 Mass Civilian Demonstrations were held against the junta juvenals. Further, donor funds were cut-off. Dr. James Jonah of the UN was appointed as the Interim National Electoral Commissioner with the mandate and funds to conduct general elections IMMEDIATEDLY. The foolish junta boys had no choice but surrender forthwith and were then compelled to cooperate with the INEC or face prosecution for High Treason. Thats when they said they will take the scholarship money.
5. PAOPA
- Maada taught it fit to join the S.L.P.P to further HIS political ambitions to become slpp flag bearer.
CORRECTION #5: Madder Bio joined the slpp only circa 2004 after fighting unsuccessfully during the first 3 moths in 1996 to keep power for himself and his junta boys under the bogus Peace-Before-Election Movement, and failing that, he tried to give power to the National Unity Party with Dr. John Karimu as presidential candidate and supported by the likes of J.O.B., C.F. Margai and other NPRC junta types.
Dr John Karimu: From Secretary of State Ministry of Trade and Industry in the NPRC to Chair/Head of NUP and now SLPP member
John Oponjo Benjamin: Former Secretary of State NPRC now SLPP Presidential aspirant
Slpp badly defeated the NUP. Bio was then forced to handover power reluctantly. He and his junta boys were then rewarded with scholarships and told to stay away from SL for at least 4 years.
Charles Gankey Taylor - former President of Liberia. Now serving 50 years jail term in U.K. Prison for his part in the 12 years Sierra Leone war
From May 1997 thru 2003, Bio fought against the SLPP Administration of Tejan Kabbah by supporting the AFRC-RUF junta and supporting Foday Sankoh and Charles Taylor as they waged a catastrophic war against our people and stole Kono diamonds, raped every female they wanted, cut peoples hands, burn homes, schools, Churches, Mosques and looted and burned shops, vehicles, etc. – but all to no avail!

6. PAOPA �- He became flag bearer of the S.L.P.P�
CORRECTION #6: Bio was elected flag bearer of slpp in July 31, 2011 with only 33% of the votes cast. 67% of the delegates voted for other candidates. Upon Bio’s election many strong party members left the slpp. Bio then went on to be woefully defeated at the General Elections by APC by a whopping 424,000 votes.
Under Bio as Flag Bearer, slpp lost all its MP seats outside the South and East and the APC's national vote-share in the slpp heartland creased from 40,000 to 250,000 votes and winning MP seats in all 4 provinces. Finally, under Bio’s candidacy, slpp gained the lowest vote-share in any SL general election ever since slpp was founded in 1951.
7. PAOPA�- Maada‘s candidates all over Sierra Leone will clinch 98% of the zooner and constituency elections �
CORRECTION #7: A plurality of the delegates supporting Bio may most likely win in the South and East but not in the North or West. Most of those delegates supporting Bio would be pure tribal types from the Mende tribe, ex-combatants, ex-juntas, ex-juntas’ and West Side Boys’ titis plus the highly experienced unemployed 2-fut aratas long resident in the slpp and bidding their time for the next slpp victory to wreck Sierra Leone.
Of course, a flag bearer win for Bio means defeat for Bio and slpp at the 2018 general Elections.
8. PAOPA� He will be giving the leadership of the S.L.P.P again whether you like it or not �
CORRECTION #8: A small plurality of slpp delegates may likely vote to give Bio the slpp flagbearership nomination for 2018 based on a strict tribal-arata alliance vote at the nominating convention. Bio will then go on and surely loose the General Election for himself and the slpp.
In 2011, Bio received only 33% of delegates’ votes to be the slpp flag bearer and woefully lost the General Elections. Bio really cares not whether slpp is defeated. All he cares for is his control of slpp for life.
9. PAOPA�- He has been given VISA to enter United State after a long scandal �
CORRECTION #9: This is another lie. The United States has not given Bio any visa to enter the US. Bio told the same lie in 2012 to the officials of slpp branches in the US and SL only to end up fooling many of his party leaders who had made preparations to receive him in New York and Washington, etc. Bio has never entered the USA since he was kicked out in late early 2001. Your Bio is a shameless liar.
10. PAOPA �Maada will be president of Sierra Leone again for the second time
CORRECTION #10: Madder Bio was never president of Sierra Leone in the first place and never will be. Bio was only a junta chairman for a mere 3 months in 1996 but only after he and his boys used conspiracy and force to overthrow their Krio Boss, Captain Valentine Strasser.
Presidents are elected by majority vote. But because of Bio’s long odious and repulsive junta and post-junta records, he has very little support outside his tribe and non-arata circles.
Further, Bio’s support among his tribe is dwindling as obnoxious ex-combatants, notorious tribalists and highly experienced 2-fut aratas gain the upper hand inside slpp while decent people in the slpp heartland vote for the slpp or secretly mutilate their ballots inside voting booths rather than vote for known nation-wreckers and thieves.
�11. PAOPA�- Sierra Leoneans‘ lives will be improved under HIS leadership �
CORRECTION #11: Bio has no interest in nation building from his past. His record shows killings, fake promotions, stealing of public funds and deliberately lying to conceal his dastardly conduct so that he looks like a hero to his gullible people. Bio will lead the people of SL to deterioration, darkness and suffering.
12. PAOPA �Sierra Leone Go Beteh
Vvvv
CORRECTION #12: Sierra Leone will never thrive under junta boy Bio and the numerous, hungry 2-fur aratas surrounding him. Those people are out only for themselves
and
�13. PAOPA�- Ar rest mi case yaa.�From Korbex and Communications Team
CORRECTION #14. Please judge for yourself members of the SL public and always try hard to put your country first rather than seek to put your tribe’s and personal interest above your country’s and party's interests.
Thank you for your kind attention.
