IPNEWS: The authoritative Independent Probe Newspaper has reliably read up that there is a growing disagreement between the alliance political parties and President Joseph Nyumah Boakai over “early ill-treatment.”
IPNEWS understand that 18 out of the 21 alliance parties have also been having an issue with people surrounding the presidency, since Amb. Joseph Nyumah was pronounced President-elect by the NEC.
The Alliance Parties were initially five political parties, including Unity Party, Movement for Democracy, and Reconstruction, Pro-tempore’ Nyonblee Karngar Lawrence faction of the Liberty Party, Economic Freedom Fighters of Liberia, and the Movement for One Liberia of Macdella Cooper which took Amb. Boakai to the runoff elections.
During the runoff, 16 other political parties joined the alliance, making it 21 political parties, and chaired by Cllr. Gabriel Seyde.
However, our source noted that besides, the UP, MDR, and Pro-Tempt Nyonblee factions of LP, the 18 others are having serious disagreements about how the UP and President Boakai are processing with his leadership at an eat start.
FPA gathered that some of these disagreements by the disenchanted alliance members range from not being consulted, to not being commended for the campaign since the elections, not being consulted on appointment, and that none of the aggrieved alliance parties being represented on the vetting committee.
As a result of this disagreement, which is fast deepening, our source who prefers anonymity noted that the 18 disenchanted parties on Tuesday, January 29, boycotted President Boakai’s Annual Address.
Accordingly, Atty. Jodi Woods of the Unity Party had been negotiating with these parties at the back to prevent the matter from further blowing into proportion.
Noticeably, besides Macdella Cooper, who is one of the Alliance touch bearers always seen with the president, others boycotted the Annual Message, including the EFFL, which is always seen around Amb. Boakai was never seen at the capitol.
This, our source noted, further indicates the length at which the internal conflict has grown.
At the same time, Atty. Woods is said to be currently embarrassed by the situation and the level at which the controversy is escalating and is now meeting with the disenchanted parties one at a time to ameliorate the situation. Jones Nyusufu
