Christopher Okoro Cole

Christopher Okoro Cole (b. 1921 - d. after 1990) was a former Governor-general and President of Sierra Leone.

In a complicated process of constitutional change when the monarchy was abandoned in early 1971, it was provided that Siaka Stevens, then Prime Minister, would become the "second president", while Cole, who had been appointed interim governor-general on 31 March, would serve for two days as "first president". Thereafter he reverted to his earlier post of chief justice.
