The Liberian political waters continue to muddy ahead of the 2023 general and presidential elections as the new elected Secretary General of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) has resolved to throw japs at the oppositions, particularly on the just held ‘We Are Tiya Suffering’ rally in Monrovia.
A jab is a type of punch used in martial arts. Several variations of the jab exist, but every jab shares these characteristics: while in a fighting stance, the lead fist is thrown straight ahead and the arm is fully extended from the side of the torso. This process also involves a quick turn of the torso.
Addressing partisans last weekend in Monrovia, Jefferson Tamba Koijee who is also the City Mayor of Monrovia in his aggressive statement told oppositions that if they are tired, they should join the Russian and Ukrainian war to fight.
Amid battle cry by his supporters, Koijee said members of the opposition bloc who are claiming that they are tired suffering should leave Liberia and join the war between the Russians and the Ukrainians to fight.
This utterance by the ruling party executive did not go down well by some Liberians who called on local radio station, the OK FM Liberia condemning the statement, stressing that the Secretary General of the governance CDC, noting that he is completely insensitive of the plight of the people of Liberia.
Recently, the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) held a daylong rally under the banner ‘We Are Tiya Suffering’, this rally drew thousands of supporters together who probably agreed that indeed the suffering of the Liberian people in the CDC-led government has overwhelmed the country.
