HAS VICE PRESIDENT BOAKAI SIGNED HIS OWN DEATH WARRANT BY HIS CHOICE OF KOUNG?

Date:

An opinion by former TRC Commissioner, John H. T. Stewart

LIBERIA – It is now an open secret that the crooked Bomi County Edwin, allegedly a close buddy to Boakai’s vice presidential pick has been seeking to curry favor with Vice President Boakai and the hierarchy of the Unity Party including its chairman, Luther Tarpeh, in order to be accepted back into the UP fold.

But why is this damn crooked politician making such a move at this time is the question on the minds of the public. Now, informed sources say Snowe has a latent desire to serve as Vice President under a future President Jeremiah Koung granted Boakai is elected as President.

According to informed sources, shortly after Boakai’s assumption of office, he will die either mysteriously or get killed in a freak accident that will see Koung succeeding him and later Koung will nominate Snowe as Vice President.

Apparently Snowe has a sense of foreboding that the Weah government will be booted out of office at the October 10 polls because of its dismal performance record characterized by massive looting of the country’s coffers, extra judicial killings with impunity, gross disrespect and disregard for the rule of law and gross mismanagement of the  country’s economy.

Snowe is fully aware that his jolly-jolly looting spree and happy go lucky flirtations with powerful officials will come to a disastrous end once George Weah loses the elections.

And he knows for sure that the “bloodhounds” will pursue him to account for his Kro-Kro Gee, Kukujumuku MoU that sold out the Western Cluster to predatory corporate interests and robbed the people of Bomi in broad daylight.

And to assure himself of a safe and soft landing he has according to reports wormed his way back into the UP fold and into the arms of an unsuspecting and a seemingly politically naïve Joseph Boakai.

Further, according to informed sources, Snowe is splashing around tons of illicitly acquired cash to buy his way through to gain reacceptance into the UP fold.

From the current outlook of things and with a mere 5 months to elections, what better time than now to jump ship. And he has done just that. Informed sources say that both Weah and Snowe had discussed the issue.

And Weah, being wary of rejection at the polls is now acutely aware that he will need protection of the kind he has provided to former President Sirleaf over the last six(6) years.

And so while others may interpret Snowe’s move as betrayal, President Weah, according to sources see it as a great strategic move from which he stands to be an ultimate beneficiary.

According to analysts, Vice President Boakai has virtually signed his own Death Warrant with his choice of Jeremiah Koung as vice running mate hoping that will garner him massive support from vote rich Nimba.

But there is a haunting question still left unanswered. Is Jeremiah Koung the FACE of Nimba or can he be the FACE of Nimba?  QUESTION!!!!
