B**g County--A prominent son of B**g County residing in the United States, Mr. David Flomo, has called on citizens of B**g County to take political ownership and cease the practice of continuously supporting politicians from other counties.
Speaking via phone from the United States on a local radio program, Mr. Flomo emphasized that the time has come for the people of B**g County to unite and establish their own political party and leadership structure. He noted that although the Kpelle-speaking people constitute the largest ethnic group in Liberia, they have yet to effectively convert their demographic strength into meaningful political influence.
Mr. Flomo observed that counties such as Nimba, Grand Bassa, and Lofa have developed strong political identities and produced national leaders who influence major government decisions. In contrast, he said, B**g County has failed to establish and sustain a comparable political presence on the national stage.
He attributed this political stagnation to internal divisions and excessive criticism among B**gese citizens, which he said have continually undermined unity and progress.
“B**gese are often too critical of one another,” Mr. Flomo stated. “Until we learn to support each other, we will continue to make other people president while remaining divided.”
Mr. Flomo further urged citizens of B**g County and the wider Kpelle-speaking population to embrace what he termed ‘hostile togetherness’ — a form of determined unity that places the county’s collective interests above individual or partisan considerations.
He cautioned that without such cohesion, B**g County would remain on the sidelines of national politics, playing a supporting role rather than producing its own president or political powerhouse.
Commenting on the recent reconciliation meeting organized by the United B**g County Citizens in the Americas (UBCAA), Mr. Flomo expressed disappointment over what he described as a lack of sincerity among some participating lawmakers.
“The reconciliation is like eddoe soup — on top it’s cold, but inside it’s hot,” he remarked, suggesting that while themeeting appeared peaceful on the surface, underlying tensions remain unresolved.
Mr. Flomo’s comments come amid ongoing national discussions about regional political empowerment and leadership equity. He maintained that, given its size and population, B**g County should not remain politically fragmented but instead strive to produce leaders who genuinely represent the aspirations of its people.
He concluded by urging B**gese citizens both at home and abroad to embrace unity, promote reconciliation, and build a strong political front that reflects the true strength and potential of the Kpelle-speaking population.
