Chief Minister David Moinina Sengeh has once again exemplified true leadership, proving that leadership is not defined by age but by the ability to exhibit control and foster unity. He has demonstrated this today again by mediating peace between Kao Denero and LAJ, two renowned Hip-Hop artists who had been embroiled in a heated social media feud over the past weeks.

As individuals entrusted with significant roles in government, these artists have a unique opportunity to influence society positively. Instead of engaging in conflicts that breed chaos, they should focus on their craft and use their positions to inspire and serve the people.

Keep the pace David Moinina Sengeh - PhD, Sierra Leone and the world is watching. 😊🤝🏿

What does Radical Inclusion mean?

PRESIDENT JULIUS MAADA BIO EXPLAINED WHAT RADICAL INCLUSION MEANS‼️ In light of recent criticisms directed at Dr David Moinina Sengeh, it is essential to clarify the purpose and intentions behind the Radical Inclusion Movement. Many individuals have raised concerns, suggesting that the movement is a secret political subgroup designed to advance Dr. Sengeh’s personal ambitions for future leadership. However, these claims are not grounded in fact. The Radical Inclusion Movement is not a political faction but a progressive initiative aimed at fostering equality, tolerance, and inclusivity in line with the broader developmental goals of the government. President Julius Maada Bio, in his recent global engagements, has clearly articulated the essence of radical inclusion. He explained that it is about ensuring that no one is left behind, regardless of their background, gender, or abilities. This vision underscores the importance of creating an equitable society where every citizen has access to opportunities and is empowered to contribute to the nation's development. President Bio's public endorsement of this concept on an international stage directly contradicts any notion that the movement serves as a political tool for personal gain. Instead, it demonstrates a clear commitment to governance that values inclusivity as a cornerstone of national progress. In a powerful global statement, President Bio's views not only highlight the government's commitment to equality but also prove critics of David Moinina Sengeh wrong. This movement is about the nation’s future, not individual ambition. Kindly watch the video below for proof of President Bio's explanation of what Radical Inclusion truly means. 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿 David Moinina Sengeh - PhD
