Maada Bio is supporting Abu Abu Koroma in all his dangerous moves so far. These footage are described by pundits as the most unfortunate, divisive, and unpardonable content of this era. The video does not only depict tribalistic tendencies but proliferated hate messages with grudges, malice and personal vendetta. Tracing the minister’s wordings in the video footage, he was proud to say: “One of de main reason way are choose for build na Bo, are nor build na Makeni, na because, Temne man nor civilize, way you kam to de Mende man, na den civilize.” (Photo: Killer SLPP Minister Abu Abu).

He stated, proudly.   Expert opinion viewed this statement as the most unthinkable comment of this generation. This utterance does not only have the latitude to stimulate tribal conflict but contravenes the President’s determination to uphold the country’s peaceful co-existence that is predicated on the mantra of tribal diversity, unity and cohesion. Peace campaigners saw these spoken words as a threat to national peace, especially from a political figure who is performing presidential representation in the territory he is administering, and the same people he is governing.

These wordings will compromise progressive reforms to accommodate cultural diversity; stifle the room for tolerance; and widen the space for more division at regional, sectional, and tribal levels. Moving forward, he was also bold to say: we get a lot of Temne people way get a house, but you nor one day yeri say den don burn den houses; but I every day are dae under threat, na e make are decide for move me family kan na Bo.” He noted at the maiden part of his expression. This statement from the Resident Minister leaves room for more questions than answers: where has he been?, how many political conflicts were recorded from the North-East?

What’s his commitment to blurring the divide? what’s the hope of the people? must this be viewed as a neglect of service delivery?, how will potential visitors (strangers), perceive this message?  Speaking from the people’s perspective, the Resident Minister must be immediately fired from duty, because of the fury that surrounds his utterances. The people are optimistic about the President’s call to national peace, thereby viewing this matter as a testament to the President’s determination. This is an attempt to ignite a war, deepen hate, and ravage the country’s fragile stability to a halt. Tap on the link, and follow Connect With Salone Media’s Facebook Page for the full video.
