I Will Impose Travel Ban on All Sierra Leoneans if I Become President – Zainab Sheriff

Yeabu Zainab Sheriff, Leader of the “Wi Duty – The Lappa Movement,” has made a bold declaration, stating that if she is elected President of Sierra Leone, her first action will be to impose a nationwide travel ban on all Sierra Leoneans.
Sheriff argued that the travel ban would remain in place until the country is “fixed,” asserting that it is crucial for citizens to stay in the country and contribute to its development.

In a statement that has drawn both attention and criticism, Sheriff emphasized the importance of national unity and commitment, highlighting that the country’s biggest challenge is the tendency of political leaders and citizens alike to leave the country at times of crisis.
She further explained that the travel ban would apply to all Sierra Leoneans, regardless of individual circumstances or business needs.
“When I become the President of Sierra Leone, the first thing I will do is to impose a travel ban on all Sierra Leoneans,” Sheriff declared during an interview. “Nobody will leave this country until we fix this place. Nobody will leave until the country is fixed.”
