Political Tensions Rise as Young Leader Sellu Jimina Critiques Unity Party and President Boakai
By: John Kamara Taylor
In a bold declaration that has captured national attention, Sellu Jimina, a young politician and former journalist, has accused the Unity Party, under the leadership of President Joseph Nyumah Boakai, of failing to meet the hopes and expectations of the Liberian people.
Currently affiliated with the CMC political party led by Representative Musa Bility, Jimina’s comments shine a light on the growing dissent within the political landscape as Liberia gears up for its upcoming elections.
During a radio show on Peace FM , Jimina articulated his concerns, asserting that the Unity Party has not adequately addressed the pressing needs of the populace.
“The people of Liberia deserve better than empty promises and delayed action on critical issues,” he stated, calling for tangible solutions to rampant unemployment, poor infrastructure, and social inequality.
Jimina’s critique of the Unity Party reflects a broader frustration among youth and disenfranchised voters, who are increasingly disillusioned by traditional political establishments.
As a prominent voice in the CMC party, he emphasized the importance of unity, accountability, and visionary leadership — elements he believes are lacking in the current administration.
“Liberians are looking for leadership that resonates with their experiences and aspirations. We cannot afford to settle for mediocrity anymore,” Jimina declared. His remarks have resonated with many young Liberians who are eager for change and seeking new political representation.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Jimina's stance could signal a shifting tide among the electorate, particularly as younger voters emerge as a crucial demographic in the upcoming elections. With President Boakai's Unity Party under scrutiny, the upcoming election season promises to be a contentious one, as parties and candidates grapple for the trust and support of the Liberian people.
Sellu Jimina’s candidacy and the vision he champions for Liberia's future may very well shape the course of the nation’s political dialogue in the months leading up to the elections. The question remains: will the Unity Party respond to these challenges, or will new voices lead the charge for change in Liberia?
