Gbarnga, B**g County – Local businessman Mohammed Jabateh has praised the recent reconciliation between B**g County Senator Prince Kermue Moye and District #3 Representative Josiah Marvin Cole, describing it as “genuine” and a crucial step toward unity and development in the county.
Appearing as a guest on the July 19 edition of “Our Future” on Premium FM, Jabateh called on citizens of B**g County to fully embrace the peace accord between the two lawmakers, emphasizing that the move should not be seen as political showmanship but as a sincere attempt to mend years of political division.
“The fact that both Senator Moye and Representative Cole have decided to put aside their long-standing political differences is something every well-meaning citizen of B**g County should celebrate,” Jabateh stated. “However, it doesn’t mean they will always agree on every political issue. They are from different political parties and will naturally have differing views at times.”
He warned citizens, particularly supporters of both lawmakers, not to misinterpret future political disagreements as a sign of failed reconciliation. “Disagreements are normal in politics,” he said. “But that should never lead to disunity.”
Jabateh pointed out that much of the tension among B**g County lawmakers is fueled by their supporters. He alleged that some individuals deliberately carry hate messages between camps for selfish reasons, an act he believes is undermining the county’s development.
“This consistent disunity is largely caused by supporters who spread negativity from one side to another,” he said. “And unfortunately, many of those spreading hate are young people.”
Jabateh urged the youth of B**g County to redirect their energy toward more productive ventures such as starting local businesses or learning vocational skills. “If young people focus on self-reliance, they will not only build better futures for themselves but also contribute meaningfully to society,” he added.
While welcoming the reconciliation, which took place during the United B**g County Associations in the Americas (UBCAA) National Convention in the United States, Jabateh stressed the need for the process to be implemented back home.
“The reconciliation happened in America, but it must be practiced here in B**g County,” he said. “If Senator Moye and Representative Cole demonstrate unity publicly upon their return, it will reduce political tension and inspire other leaders to follow suit.”
The UBCAA convention brought the two lawmakers face to face after years of sharp political disagreements. Their meeting and subsequent reconciliation was one of the major highlights of the event, raising hopes for a more united and forward-moving B**g County.
Jabateh concluded by urging all lawmakers in the county to prioritize the interests of the people above politics. “If our leaders put the county first, I see B**g walking the path of real development.”
