Jonathan Bids Farewell to Koroma After Two-Year Stay
Goodluck Jonathan, the former President of Nigeria, bid farewell to Ernest Bai Koroma, the former President of Sierra Leone, after Koroma's two-year stay in Nigeria. Koroma fled to Nigeria in January 2024 following treason charges related to the November 2023 attacks in Freetown.
However, the Sierra Leonean government dropped these charges two months ago, allowing Koroma to return home. In his farewell statement, Jonathan described the occasion as significant for reconciliation and renewed hope in Sierra Leone.
He referred to Nigeria as Koroma’s “home away from home” during his stay and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to provide friendship, support, and solidarity. Jonathan encouraged dialogue with Sierra Leonean authorities to facilitate Koroma's safe return.
He wished Koroma a safe journey and success in this new chapter, emphasizing that his return should be a moment of renewed hope for him, his family, and the people of Sierra Leone.
