JOURNALIST FORCES BIO TO CONFESS “I CAN’T GO TO AMERICA”
One of the flag bearer aspirants of the main opposition Sierra Leone
People Party who was also the Presidential Candidate of the party in 2012
General elections, Julius Maada Bio has finally accepted that he cannot go
to United States of America.
Julius Maada Bio made this statement at a party with journalists at his
Juba Hill Resident in the West of Freetown two weeks ago, when one of the
journalist pose the question to him about his relationship to the greatest
country in the world.
“I do not go to America because there is a problem with immigration,”
Bio responded to the journalist.
Bio also continued that he
appealed and won the appeal and that he hoped everything had been settled but
in his words the immigration authorities of the United States of America
decided otherwise.
“I have no criminal case in the US other than my asylum case,” Bio
confirmed
Maada Bio however said that he does not want the American issue to be
crucial as many Heads of State have similar problems but that they are still
governing their own country, adding that “going to the U.S. is not an important
matter.”
This acceptance comes after Bio had made several denials that he can go
to the United States and that he does not have any problems in the US.
In the last quarter of last year a pro-Bio Newspaper even reported that
Bio will attend the SLPP North America convention but sources at the United
States Embassy revealed that Bio was denied Visa because of his blemish records
in US.
Some media analysts who attended the party said that the recent
revelation by Julius Maada Bio means that he has not only been deceiving his
supporters but Sierra Leoneans.
“ How can you say going to America should not be an important issue as
there are other Presidents who cannot go to America? Does this man know he is
talking about the greatest nation in the world?” a political scientist asked.
Meanwhile reports from the United States suggest that Bio had involved
in battery and domestic violence and cannot ordinarily go to the United States
of America.
