The ripples of the internal war within the Unity Party are been felt within Liberia and beyond. Ordinary Liberians it seems are shocked beyond description at this obvious blatant show of power and influence by the Chairman-Elect Mr. Varney Sherman.
Does Nepotism exists within the Unity Party
Mr. Sherman's claim of being a newly invigorated anti-nepotistic warrior rings hollow and presents yet another strange dimension to this shameful public charade.
We all can only imagine whose bidding Mr Sherman is carrying out and what are the specific reasons for which the party hierarchy has turned on one of its own.
Did Mr. Fahnbulleh cross unseen lines ? Did he break unwritten rules ? Whatever the reasons are, the Unity Party has unknowingly fired the fatal shot that would ultimately result in the death of its very soul. The impacts of the “Fahnbulleh debacle” will forever be an icon of shame and a blot on the collective conscience of the party’s hierarchy.
Who is Medina ?
It is also evident that the Unity Party believes it has the Western votes (Bomi and Grand Cape Mount counties) locked down and the choice of Medina Wesseh is yet another political calculation in their bizarre calculus for victory in 2011.
Political parties in Liberia should regard this giant show of shame as an unambiguous warning and decipher for themselves the length to which the Unity Party is prepared to go to ensure it wins the 2011 election.
A party that will publicly demand one of its internally elected officials resigns and offers his elected position to the loser of the same election is not only desperate but has callously displayed its penchant for illegality..
With the River Gee by-elections on the horizon one can only wonder if this is a show of strength or a veiled ploy to illegally garner support in the far eastern counties.
Whatever their rationale, we have all witnessed a blatant disregard for established rules that should serve as an ominous warning of the DEVIOUS shenanigans to be visited upon Liberians in our near political future.
In the cause of the people, the STRUGGLE continues !
