POLItICO/REALITY 101
SLPP ON A MISSION OF SELF DESTRUCTION.
REMINDER OF THE BATTLES OF THE WILLS BETWEEN ALBERT MARGAI VS THE GANG OF FOUR RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER IN 1967.
It does appear that the SLPP has never gleaned any useful lesson from the political debacle that befell them on Sunday March 19.1976 in Kenema resulting in loss of power.
The “JMB” women’s wing is the catalyst that will undo the party and except commonsense prevails over opportunistic calculations I am afraid SLPP is headed for the abyss of annihilation.
One will think there are people in the party with gravitas in political history always reminding the membership to be very mindful of squabbles that undid the party in 07, and 2012 Olympic of presidential elections.Unfortunately that is not the case for all intent and purposes.
The political leadership of the country shares the climate of blame for the crucibles of chaos and disorder visited upon the fabric of things in the SLPP mainly due to the fact the president has not sat his wife to define her role in the party if any and she is therefore left to freelance as she pleases which was self evident on the night of the elections in Kailahun where she took upon herself to order the cancellation of of the exercise.Assuming there were infractions of electoral principles, cancellation should have been the fiat of the official Returning officer after due consultations with other members in charge of the exercise and not Mrs.Bio. Even unacceptable was the fact she spoke before the officials and they were left to capitulate to her whims, views, and caprices.
Mrs.Bio’s utterances are not helpful to the leadership of Mr.Bio as the cacophony of discordant troubling voices sounds the sirin of warning bells to the forest of red flags in that regard.
In a polarized polity such as ours, the last thing SLPP wants is revolt by the women as it will spell unmitigated disaster for them. “THE JMB WOMEN’S WING” is a catalyst for dismemberment of the party and except the party as a whole dissolves it with lightning speed, SLPP will find itself in the same predicament we saw between Albert Margai and the Gang of Four led by Luseni Alfred Morley Brewah that saw their ignominious exit from power on Tuesday March 21, 1967.In my considered Judgment and candid opinion, the real conundrum in this macabre drama is the president himself who has consistently failed to impress upon his wife the constitution does not confer on her co sovereignty when it comes to the exercise of political power.
The hope is that the new team put in place headed by Dr.David Moinina Sengeh will do everything possible to avoid the debacle that dogged Dr.Prince Harding whose handling of that mission left much to be desired leaving the vast concourse of the citizenry to question his usefulness in the party.
Dr.David Sengeh should preside over an electoral exercise totally unencumbered by frauds and irregularities.
The concept of one person one vote should be an essential element going into this exercise as it underpins the validity of the sanctity of the ballot box without it, any moral claim to democratization remains mere ideological platitude or empty slogan.
DARK DAYS IN THE SLPP AS THE BATTLES OF THE WILLS BETWEEN MRS.FATiMA BIO’s “JMB WOMENS WINGS”AND THE REST OF THE WOMEN MEMBERSHIP DANCE ON THE EDGE OF CIVILITY RAISING FEARS OF THE REPLAY OF ALBERT MARGAI/GANG OF FOUR 1967 SAGA.
