Eugene Fahngon: Right Prediction, But Wrong Prescription

Eugene Fahngon: Right Prediction, But Wrong Prescription—Part One


Background
From antiquity, in the African context, very rarely do individuals and governments take responsibility for failure. “Outsiders” usually take the blame for any failure of a sitting government. In Liberia, the government of President Weah was ushered in on January 21st, 2018 with flamboyant political promises prominent among which were the declaration that Liberians will no longer be spectators of their own economy and the ill-conceived and formulated pro-poor agenda among others. President Weah, once admired by his followers, now, in the eyes of Cedicians, has become a failure. President Weah and his co-lieutenants have failed to fulfill their promises thus the protest votes by their supporters. The pro-poor agenda has not worked, is not working and will not work. Instead, the pro-poor agenda is actually killing the poor. Cedicians and Liberians across the board are outraged and regretted voting for President Weah and the CDC. Liberians and Cedicians sent a message to the government of the CDC with their protest votes first during the by-election that brought in Senator Darius Dillon. President Weah and his government refused to listen to the voices of the people. Again, on December 8, 2020, Liberians and conscious-minded Cedicians in their thousands voted to reelect Senator Darius Dillon. Eugene Fahngon, a deputy minister in the CDC’s government known for his divisive and reactionary comments is right to predict that President Weah’s popularity will not deliver the presidency to CDC in 2023 if voters are not satisfied but damn wrong to blame “outsiders’ in the government for the failure and massive defeat of CDC. This article will attempt to argue that CDC’s defeat, failure, inability to deliver and properly govern solely lies on the shoulder of President Weah and not “outsiders.”
