MONROVIA – Criticisms and condemnations continue to be hurled at the Commander-In-Chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters of Liberia (EFFL), Emmanuel Gonquoi, over his recent resignation decision taken to quit the presidential taskforce on assets recovery and public properties retrieval.
Gonquoi announced Friday that he had stepped down from his post with the Assets Recovery Team, giving no reason for his action, but he informed President Joe Boakai that in spite of his resignation, he’s still a son to the Liberian leader, indicating that he remains committed to the President’s agenda for a better Liberia.
However, since he made public his resignation, throng of Liberians continue to slam the EFFL leader over such decision, with some terming it as being belated, while others are chiding him for accepting the post in the first place.
Following the disclosure of his resignation on Friday via social media, Gonquoi again took to Facebook early Saturday, declaring that he had no regrets for his action about which he bragged that he was unapologetic.
“We are not in Government to repeat mistakes of the past because it’s against our Party doctrine,” Gonquoi wrote, adding; “We are proud to be associated with President Boakai because he is truly a leader fighting for a better Liberia. We have no regret supporting him over CDC.”
Howbeit, Hassan Hassan, a Liberian, who responded to the EFFL man’s assertions on Facebook, criticized Gonquoi over the timing of his decision to have resigned from the assets recovery taskforce, and is demanding members of the taskforce including the EFFL Commander-In-Chief to account for every dime of taxpayers’ cash that might have been given the assets recovery and public properties retrieval team.
“Your resignation wasn’t timely my friend. You guys need to account for the tax payers monies that was given to the assets recovery team,” Hassan emphasized.
Champ P. Gowee, another Liberian, believes Gonquoi is yet to state the truth behind his resignation, accusing the EFFL leader of making countless contradictory statements, and Emmanuel Zaai Dropaye, for his part, is of the opinion that the EFFL CIC’s resignation is not the best option for now.
“To break this chain of corruption in Liberia does not require resignation. It requires constant fight, very strong fight. Your early resignation dashed the hope of the Liberian people and the success of the Assets Recovery,” Dropaye wrote.
For his part, Peter S. Davis, believes Gonquoi resigned because he’s not a true leader, indicating; “A true leader is [one] who struggles despite all of the challenges to make positive history. If you were given a job and you decide to resign from the job just for difficulties, what will be your legacy or success story? Leaders are born [and] meant to solve problems not to escape from life challenges.”
In response to Gonquoi latest Facebook write-up, Garreston Nimely, Jr. wrote: “You care to tell us how [y’all] spent the money for the asset recovery team?” While Laminu Konneh wrote: “You still beating around the bush, I am very sure you will come out clear soon.”
Aaron Gee to Gonquoi: “Have you returned the three months salaries you received without working?”
For Aloysius Namue, he’s not sure as to whether Gonquoi’s write-ups commensurate with his decisions and actions, expressing the hope they do some day.
“It’s disingenuous for a rational man to defend himself with lies and deception,” Namue blasted Gonquoi, adding; “Your scenario is a classic example of the Kerkula Kpoto’s doctrine.”
He added: “By the way, what has been your stance on the killing of our citizens in Grand Cape Mount County by the LNP in pursuit for economic justice?”
Namue inferred that Gonquoi is an empty talker, indicating that “No one takes serious into consideration an empty talker.”
He accused Gonquoi of wining and dining on a daily basis with alleged corrupt officials of government and some unnamed persons within the ruling Unity Party, asking the EFFL leader as to what makes him think he’s different from such individuals.
