During interviews with News Extra and the Nigerian Television Authority NTA, Abdul Kargbo was asked questions relating to peace and security in the region. Instead of using Sierra Leone as an example of a failed state, Abdul Kargbo promoted his paymaster, Maada Bio. (Photo: Abdul Kargbo and his paymaster, Maada Bio).

Abdul Kargbo was not patriotic enough to support what critics say and how they describe the caretaker President, Julius Maada Bio, not to remain in power. Sell-out Abdul Kargbo avoided addressing or calling for power to be handed to the 2023 winner, Dr Samura Kamara.

During the interviews, his words appeared as mere sugar-coating or an attempt to redirect the discussion toward pre-planned talking points rather than addressing the concerns directly. In his interview with NTA at the ECOWAS Parliament, Abdul Kargbo misfired.

The fake parliamentarian said the region is currently grappling with increasing economic hardship, rising prices of commodities, and widespread poverty, making regional integration increasingly difficult.” He repeated similar statements during his interview with News Extra.

Corrupt Abdul Kargbo was suffering from political apathy or lacked a genuine interest in the pressing issues affecting most Sierra Leoneans, such as alleged electoral malpractices, extrajudicial killings, and the urgent implementation of the Tripartite recommendations.

Some people describe Abdul Kargbo as politically mute – or non-verbal – because of what they see as his inability to communicate directly and coherently on critical national matters. However, this may not entirely be the case.

Poor Abdul Kargbo has previously demonstrated that he can speak eloquently and address issues directly when he chooses to do so. For example, before becoming Minority Leader of the APC, he served as Interim Secretary General of the Interim Transitional Governance Committee ITGC.

During the court case that led to the formation of the ITGC, many grassroots supporters heard Abdul Kargbo speaking strongly on their behalf. This brings to mind the idea of “climbing the ladder,” a metaphor used by Brutus in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.

Some individuals use public support and display of concern to gain influence, but once they attain power, they turn their backs on the very people who supported them. Abdul Kargbo’s behaviour in the last three years appears as a deliberate political strategy to deceive.

Politicians are often known for giving roundabout answers that avoid directly addressing difficult questions. At this stage of Sierra Leone’s fragile democracy, the country needs politicians who can speak directly, plainly, and honestly, leaders who will put the nation first.

Deceptive Abdul Kargbo had the platform to speak about the burning issues surrounding Sierra Leone’s failed democracy, but instead, he treated the question as though it were merely a common regional problem.

The idiot could present his country as a unique example. The truth is that our country is going through a period of sit-tight leadership that goes beyond our constitutional boundaries. (Photo: President-elect Dr Samura Kamara).

You are in parliament while our 1991 Constitution is being bastardised and manipulated. These issues are detrimental to our democratic institutions and processes, and they continue to aggravate socio-economic challenges such as poverty, youth drug abuse, corruption, and other social vices.

Both the illegal SLPP regime and you, as the leader of the major opposition, are contributing to the destruction of the country’s fragile democracy. This is not the first time APC politicians have been allowed to put the country first and work with other ECOWAS members to address the undemocratic problems facing the nation.

Instead, they either avoid the issue completely or pretend that all is fine. Abdul Kargbo, we are tired of your petty games and the epidemic of political lies. You know very well what is happening in our nation, yet you continue using deception to lie to yourself.

No one can distract the grassroots supporters and the people of Sierra Leone, who are more enlightened than most corrupt politicians today. The 2023 voters know the pressing issues affecting the country today. Shame on you, Mr Sell-out Abdul Kargbo.
