Monrovia, June 23, 2025: A constituent member of the ruling Unity Party, the Economic Freedom Fighters of Liberia (EFFL), has threatened to resist the Unity Party over its alleged abuse of power and the hard living conditions of the Liberian people.
The EFFL said those who once criticized CDC now violate the same rules they claimed to uphold.
Delivering a statement, Mr. Emmanuel C. D. Gonquoi, Commander-in-Chief (CIC), EFFL, at the commissioning Ceremony of Montserrado County District Leadership held under the theme: “The Revolution Has No Room for Pretenders,” expressed disappointment in the administrative affairs of the state.
According to him, there is no more time to sugarcoat anything because in Paynesville, children sell cold water when they should be in school, while in West Point, families sleep on bare floors with no toilets, no light, and no safety.
He further indicated that also in Bong, Nimba, Rivercess, and Bomi, people are dying from simple diseases due to empty clinics and impassable roads; meanwhile, those he described as the so-called “leaders” build estates, fly business class, and steal millions.
“We are tired. The people are tired. To the corrupt officials, the career politicians, and the economic vampires: We are watching you. We are coming—not with violence—but with organized resistance. We will. We don’t talk politics. We make commitments. We don’t make promises. We deliver action,” Gonquoi stated.
Accordingly, he informed the government that only the EFFL stands with the people, fights for them, and leads by example, adding that when two of their appointed officials were named to public positions, they ensured their resignation from party leadership, respecting the Code of Conduct.
“Those who once criticized the CDC now violate the same rules they claimed to uphold. Expose your theft, challenge your policies, awaken the people. And when the people rise, no wall will be high enough to protect you. What we begin today in Montserrado will not end here.
We will induct leadership in all 15 counties—Grand Bassa, Nimba, Margibi, Lofa, Maryland, Sinoe, Bomi, and beyond. We will organize it everywhere. We will raise a generation of revolutionaries who will not sell their future for a bag of rice or a few U.S. Dollars,” Gonquoi concluded.
