In his most recent video, LAC has made a definitive decision to cease all activities he has been engaged in for the sake of the Sierra Leonean population. The provision of aid to individuals in need has abruptly ceased. LAC expressed concern on the misinterpretation of his philanthropic endeavours, which has resulted in the receipt of negative feedback from certain individuals in Sierra Leone. LAC stated that for to this reason, he will be resigning with immediate effect, and urges people who have been expressing animosity towards him to instead provide the necessary assistance to the Sierra Leoneans who require relief.  It is widely acknowledged that there is a significant global economic crisis affecting various regions, including Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Ghana.

Ambassador Reimer if truly is a honest man should not have accepted his appointment as Am

Anyone who knows President Bio for keeping his word will never have any doubts about anything he says. Let's look at some historical evidence to see if his pledge to always stand by his words can be supported. When Siaka Stevens' APC implemented one-party rule, Sierra Leone turned into a place where everyone suffered, especially those who opposed the terror regime. Nothing that the Bible and the Quran mention as being a punishment in hell was not unleashed on the people of Sierra Leone by the dangerously-run One Party State government. The one-party state agenda was undoubtedly a typical form of government adopted by the majority of African countries to encourage political stability for a continuous administration of state activities. Many African nations took advantage of the chance to lay down tangible development pillars for the
