Colabo Steps Down as All Stars President, Elders Council Takes Charge

The Union of Musicians All Stars Sierra Leone has entered a period of institutional reform, with the Elders Council assuming leadership oversight following the voluntary resignation of its President, Mr. Milton Koker, popularly known as Colabo.

In a public notice, the Union confirmed that Mr. Koker stepped down gracefully from his role as President, signaling his commitment to strengthening the music industry. In line with the Union’s Constitution, former presidents automatically join the Elders Council, and Mr. Koker will now serve as a member of this body, providing guidance and continuity during the reform process.

The Elders Council, composed of former Union presidents and senior figures in Sierra Leone’s music sector, held extensive consultations on 6 February 2026 with Grand Patrons and Union members to map out a structured reform agenda. These discussions led to the circulation of a Position Paper, which received majority support from industry stakeholders, formally mandating the Elders Council to supervise the transition toward transparent, democratic leadership structures.

“All official communication and engagement with the Union should be directed through the Elders Council,” the notice stated, providing contacts for the public: +23279645646 / +23299578448 and officialallstarssl@gmail.com.

The Elders Council also announced that a Reform Committee, which will serve as the Interim Executive, will be named in due course to manage the transition process and ensure the establishment of legitimate, democratically elected leadership. Until then, the Elders Council remains responsible for providing oversight, strategic guidance, and administrative supervision for the Union and the broader music industry.

This move marks a significant step toward restructuring the Union of Musicians All Stars Sierra Leone, aiming to enhance transparency, accountability, and professional governance in the country’s music sector.
