How the President and First Lady bullied a nation .
By Tony Konomanyi
At the onset of the 2018 General Elections campaign, I cautioned against endorsing and/or voting for a party which had adopted an unsettling slogan, “PAOPA” (translation: By force.)
Soon after I’d written that article, the lone “PAOPA” was dropped for “PAOPA Salone for betteh”.(trans. “Sierra Leone MUST progress”.)
It was a clever recovery, I must say, but it was one which I saw through.
Because, words cannot hide or disguise ill intent.
Immediately after their General Elections win, SLPP aka PAOPA set in motion a chaotic set of actions that would set the tone for the rest of their time in governance.
