Former CDC Chairman Mulbah Morlu has issued a fiery declaration ahead of his return to Liberia, promising nothing short of a political earthquake. In a bold and defiant statement, Morlu vowed to hold President Joseph Boakai and his government accountable, signaling the end of what he describes as their “honeymoon period.”
“By the grace of God, we are coming down soon; that country will be shaken and repositioned! There’ll be tectonic repositioning; the past one year ended the honeymoon!” Morlu wrote, setting the stage for what he says will be a direct political confrontation with the administration.
His words carry a tone of urgency, frustration, and outright defiance. He accuses President Boakai of engaging in a “reckless romance with lawlessness and impunity” and warns that if the government continues to operate outside the bounds of legality, his movement will respond with “concrete roadblocks” to obstruct their actions.
Morlu doesn’t just direct his anger at the presidency, he takes aim at the legislature as well. According to him, the Capitol Building has been overtaken by individuals more interested in breaking laws than making them. And if they do not change course, he suggests that the people will take matters into their own hands.
“The legislature must be prevented from continuously abusing the rule of law; parliament is for lawmakers, not lawbreakers! As long as they keep showing an unapologetic appetite to break laws, we will harden the people’s muscles to shield the capital!“
Morlu assured his supporters that he would not lead from a distance or hide behind the scenes. Instead, he promised to be visibly present in the trenches, ghettoes, districts, and counties, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the people.
“I swear to God, by His grace and mercies, only death can prevent this heroic stance. And we will not lead from hideouts! I’ll be visibly in the trenches, the ghettoes, the districts, and counties, VISIBLY, with you, the people,” he vowed.
The former CDC chairman acknowledged the risks, including possible arrests and police brutality, but insisted that he would face whatever came first before his supporters.
“While I cannot promise that you may not be arrested or beaten, knowing that the Boakai hegemony is in strong love with police brutality, yet, no evil will befall you that will not befall me first.”
Morlu’s message is clear, he is ready to spearhead what he calls a revolutionary advocacy movement, and he expects his supporters to stand firm with him. With an unwavering belief that “all power is inherent in the people,” he is prepared to lead from the frontlines, pushing back against what he sees as a failing administration.
The question now is: will Morlu’s call to action ignite the mass resistance he envisions, or will the government tighten its grip in response? One thing is certain, the political temperature in Liberia is about to rise, and all eyes will be on Morlu’s next move.
