Morlai Ibrahim Kamara<\/b><\/p>\n

Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Head of the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) 2023 Election Mission to Sierra Leone, former President Goodluck Jonathan has congratulated the people of Sierra Leone for the conduction of other general elections.<\/p>\n

<\/a>He revealed in an interview With AYV that they knew when the country had a civil war and he is happy that democracy is stabilized in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

He affirmed that the West Africa Elders Forum wants a stable West Africa and not one that is littered with crises.<\/p>\n

Jonathan said, \u201cI cannot make general comments because the West Africa Elders Forum wouldn\u2019t send me to the Hinterland. We visited some stations in Freetown here; we cannot base on that alone and make a general comment. We are working with ECOWAS and AU so after listing to their observers in the field then one can make a comprehensive statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further sent a message to Sierra Leoneans that they want Sierra Leone to live peacefully.<\/p>\n

<\/a>He admitted that we cannot have economic development, and cautioned that a country must be peaceful for investment to come in \u2013 both Sierra Leoneans that may want to invest and outsiders.<\/p>\n

The former Nigerian President pointed out that money is a coward and it runs away from crisis except for those who sell weapons.<\/p>\n

Goodluck Jonathan, who is chairman of the West Africa Elders Forum, was in Sierra Leone to encourage and support a peaceful democratic transition in the country.<\/p>\n
