Other leaders, not least the current president, have offered visionary words but few have the track record of Julius Maada Bio of acting on their pledges.

This is the kind of thinking that's needed from our leaders after making several promises and it should be all of us to follow them up

Prometemos según nuestras esperanzas, y cumplimos según nuestros temores.

We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.

Those whom we consider great leaders all have an ability to draw us close and to command our loyalty

We promise according to our hopes; we perform according to our fears.

Our government shouldn’t make promises we cannot keep — but we must keep the promises we’ve already made.
