“Criminals Run Government While Greedy Party Founders Steal Liberia Blind”: Colp National Chairperson Singbae Tells Youth to Abandon Unity Party and CDC, Says New Movement is About Education and Transformation, Not Just Elections
BY: Rufus Divine Brooks Jr.
MONROVIA, Montserrado County – John Singbae, the National Chairperson of the proposed Congress of the Liberian People Party, has accused founders of new political parties of greed and self-interest, while urging young Liberians to enter politics through parties committed to national transformation.
Speaking Tuesday on Focal FM, Singbae said Liberia’s stagnation stems from good people who are still in Liberia tightly seated while criminals are taking higher positions and salaries in government continually.
He described the proliferation of new parties as a vehicle for personal enrichment rather than service.
“Stop Chasing Failed Parties,” Singbae Tells Youth:
Singbae called on young people to reject the Unity Party and the CDC, arguing both have failed to improve citizens’ lives despite years in power.
“Young people should stop chasing the same old Unity Party and CDC who have failed them for years and yet nothing to show, especially in improving their lives and country,” he said.
He positioned his proposed party as different, a movement of young people who “refused to sit as Assistant Ministers in offices to only comment on Facebook,” and instead aim to “redefine the image of Liberia, build young minds, and empower the future generation.”
According to Singbae, the Congress of the Liberian People was not founded primarily to win elections. “The vision is more than election.
It is to educate, transform, and change the narrative Liberia has long been craving for,” he stated.
He further criticized all existing parties, including the ruling Unity Party, for lacking intellectual dreams and failing to address critical issues like illicit drug trafficking.
“Unity Party and CDC cannot fight drugs despite their failed promises during campaign period,” he added.
Singbae’s comments come amid growing public frustration over governance, drug abuse, and youth unemployment ahead of future electoral cycles.
