MONROVIA – The Vice Chairman for Political Affairs of the opposition Liberty Party (LP), Senator Abraham Darius Dillon, has backpedaled over his previous comments supporting the character of renowned Liberian businessman turned politician, Musa Hassan Bility as the new Chairman of the LP, despite his alleged link to multiple financial scandals.
Senator Dillon is representing the people of Montserrado County in the 54
th National Legislature on the ticket of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) alliance.
The LP is one of the political parties that make up the CPP. Other parties that form part of the CPP include: the former ruling Unity Party (UP), Alternative National Congress (ANC), and the All Liberian Party (ALP).
Mr. Alexander B. Cummings, Chairman, Collaborating Political Parties
The Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), having listened to President George Weahâs state of the nation address on January 25 and dissected issues the President spoke about, has come out with its analyses of economic problems facing the country and described what the CDC-led government considers as progress as a total contradiction of the existing reality.
According to a statement issued by CPP Chairman and political leader of the Alternative National Congress (ANC), Alexander Cummings, President Weah set the impression that all is well in the country, reporting that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was revised downwards to negative 3.3 in 2020 from negative 2.5 percent in 2019 reflecting a decline, though, projecting economic growth in 2021.
