An ‘open political war’ is said to have erupted in the camp of Nimba County District #7 Representative, Musa Hassan Bility Citizens Movement for Change (CMC).
As the situation widens, CMC’s senior political advisor, Armstrong Gobac Selekpo, has harshly called on the party’s vice chair for mobilization, B. Mack Gblinwon, to resign.
Selekpo accused Gblinwon of “divided loyalty,” an action, he said, had threatened the survival of the party.
Selekpo argued that Gblinwon cannot continue to serve in CMC, while maintaining political ties elsewhere (not named),
He warned that such conduct could damage both the party and Gbiliwon’s political future if he did not resign from the CMC with immediate effect.
In a swift response, Gblinwon rejected the call, and fired back with allegations against Selekpo.
Gblinwon accused him of serving as a “political advisor to multiple political leaders,” including Bility, and Senator Samuel G. Kogar, also campaigned against CMC during the Nimba County senatorial by-election.
Gblinwon further alleged that Selekpo “misrepresented me to the party leadership; made damaging claims that undermined my credibility, and encouraged my removal from CMC ahead of the 2029 senatorial race.”
But Selekpo warned that CMC will not allow a “repeat of past political betrayals.”
He accused Gblinwon of previously benefiting from opposition party resources, while secretly working against the interest of CMC.
Selekpo vowed that Gblinwon will no longer be part of CMC’s internal decision-making process, or else, he would expose the party’s secrets to oppositions.
The heated exchanges have exposed deep divisions within the CMC, raising concerns over party unity, and leadership discipline as the country moves closer to the 2029 elections.
Prior to this newspaper going t bed late last night, the CMC leadership was yet to issue an official statement on the standoff between it officials.
