The ongoing political fight just opened in Nimba County between two prominent political figures, including Vice President Jeremiah Koung and Senator Samuel Kogar, can safely be equated to the fight between two elephants whereby the nearby grass, i.e. the county, often suffered.
The fight, we understand, was initiated by Sen. Kogar, the once fearful rang leader at the House of Representatives. He has often referred to himself as the “Wicked General” in the Legislature.
One could certainly surmise that the political debacle could adversely affect the political chances of Nimba County given that it has the possibility to bring deeper division in the county, and reverse political growth and development, especially at a time when Nimba is hopefully expected to produce the next president.
If care is not swiftly applied to quench the blazing tension raised by Kogar, the county could bear pains politically as opposed to making gains politically.
VP Koung, whose ambition for becoming the successor to President Joseph Nyumah Boakia, at the end of his tenure, needs to seek advice from wisdom, and patience to settle the case as quickly as possible, because the old saying goes: “the longer the rice birds remain on the rice farm, the multiplied they become in number with other birds joining the bandwagon to destroy the farm.”
This is to insinuate that if the confusion is left to grow wider, the enemies will use that as clear opportunity to add gas to the political fire Kogar ignited, and let the blazing fire destroy what has been built politically.
Let it be known that being close to the political “Promised Land” doesn’t automatically make any man a political promised lander. Moses could not enter the promised land, because he allowed anger and temptation to lead him the opposite way.
Senator Samuel Gongben Korgar who seems to be overly politically ambitious for power, especially the political godfather position in Nimba, for his part, needs to do the needed adjustment in his behavior by checking necessary political breaks, because he’s running too fast.
Let him beware that in the game of politics, danger zone is created as opposed to comfort zone, when astronomical power greed is developed.
Let him know that power greed is a filthy political character, which if not checked, could damage one’s political future.
