Noah Zawolo Gibson’s ‘Bluster’ Exposes Him
By Samuel Flomo, Jr.
National Transit Authority (NTA) Deputy Director, Noah Zawolo Gibson, regular bluster (with invectives) on radio has exposed him to public ridicule. For that, he’s facing intense public condemnation for his regular bad mouth against callers, specifically females on his phone-in radio program on state radio (ELBC).
Gibson’s woe followed an aggressive, foul-mouthed verbal tirade against a female caller on live radio.
The incident occurred recently after the female caller expressed her intention to vote for former President George Weah.
The situation has drawn fierce criticism from civic leaders, political analysts, and citizens, who view Gibson’s conduct as a “clear display of official arrogance, and political intolerance.”
Rather than maintaining the professional standard required of a high-ranking state officer, Gibson used a state radio platform to demean, and intimidate a member of the public for exercising her constitutional right to political choice.
The recorded exchange, which went viral across social media, has reignited concerns over a growing culture of hostility within public office, where appointed officials abuse their authority to target individuals holding opposing views to the ruling establishment.
Faced with mounting backlash, Gibson, a visual impaired, issued a public apology, citing guidance from family members, and religious leaders.
However, his statement failed to address the core severity of his actions.
Instead of accepting full responsibility for his conduct, Gibson attempted to shift focus onto news outlets, accusing the media of bias for broadcasting the clip, and demanding equal coverage for his apology.
This attempt to deflect blame has drawn further criticism, highlighting a troubling reluctance among public officials to accept genuine accountability for their actions.
Civil society organizations, and political commentators emphasize that government appointees are expected to serve the entirety of the populace, regardless of political affiliation.
Gibson’s hostile behavior toward a citizen on public airwaves represents a significant breach of public trust, and an unacceptable departure from democratic norms.
As calls grow for formal administrative sanctions, critics insist that a superficial apology is insufficient to resolve such a serious lapse in official decorum.
The controversy stands as a critical reminder that holding public office requires restraint, ethical conduct, and fundamental respect for the rights of all citizens.
