#SierraLeoneDecides2023: ‘Why Politicians Should Emulate Nigeria’s Peter Obi’
Sierra Leonean politicians have been urged to conduct themselves peacefully by taking a cue from Nigeria’s Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi following the ongoing elections in the country.
This was the submission of Abdulai Bangura, the chairman of the Political Parties Regulations Commission (PPRC) in Sierra Leone during a press conference addressed by the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL), the Office of National Security (ONS) and the PPRC in Freetown on Sunday.
The commission, PPRC and the ONS addressed the various concerns raised by stakeholders in the elections held on Saturday across the West African country as voters await the results of the polls.
At the time of this report, tallying of votes is ongoing across the different regions in the West African country.
His words; “I have always referred to Peter Obi when he lost the election. We all know the promise he had when the elections were being conducted. Almost everybody who is anything in Nigeria (threw their) support.
“But when the result came out otherwise, he (Obi) did not call his supporters to the street to wreak havoc, he took the legal path and was able to save his country (Nigeria) from chaos.
“So, we will encourage all of our politicians to learn from that example of leadership.”
