Montserrado County – A wave of discontent has erupted among staunch supporters of the Unity Party across Districts #13, #14, and #15 as partisans have taken a unified stance calling for the immediate removal of Commissioner Safiah Boma.
This wave of discontent is not a fleeting moment but the result of deep-seated frustrations that have been brewing among Unity Party supporters in these districts. The unified stance taken by partisans from Districts #13, #14, and #15 highlights the seriousness of their concerns and the collective resolve to see Commissioner Safiah Boma removed from office. Their demand is a reflection of widespread dissatisfaction and signals a critical juncture for the party’s leadership in these areas.
The call follows what they describe as “consistent neglect, unaccountable leadership, and open hostility towards the aspirations of the Unity Party in the district.”
According to the partisans, the situation has reached a tipping point due to what they describe as “consistent neglect.” This phrase captures a pattern of behavior in which the needs and voices of party members and local residents have been repeatedly overlooked. The accusation of “unaccountable leadership” points to a lack of transparency and responsibility in the management of district affairs, with decisions being made without proper consultation or explanation. Furthermore, the claim of “open hostility towards the aspirations of the Unity Party in the district” suggests that Commissioner Boma’s actions have not only failed to support the party’s vision but have actively undermined the unity and morale of its supporters.
At a gathering held on Monday April 14, 2025, representatives and grassroots members of the party expressed their frustration over Commissioner Boma’s alleged corruption, failure to engage the local communities, and his constant involvement with Mike Jabateh.
The gathering, which brought together both representatives and grassroots members, became a focal point for expressing pent-up frustrations. Allegations of corruption were discussed openly, with attendees pointing to specific instances where Commissioner Boma is believed to have abused his position for personal gain. The failure to engage local communities was another major source of discontent, as many felt excluded from important decisions that affect their daily lives. In addition, Boma’s “constant involvement with Mike Jabateh” was criticized, with many questioning how this relationship serves the interests of the Unity Party in the districts.
According to speakers at the event, Commissioner Boma has “lost the confidence and trust of the very people he was appointed to serve.”
Speakers at the event were unequivocal in their assessment, stating that Commissioner Boma has “lost the confidence and trust of the very people he was appointed to serve.” This loss of trust is seen as a fundamental failure that undermines the legitimacy of his leadership. For many, this breach is irreparable, and it is the primary reason driving the call for his immediate removal.
The angry partisans said if nothing is done to remove Boma, all working activities of the districts will be halted.
The sense of anger and determination among the partisans was unmistakable. In a bold move, they declared that if their demand for Boma’s removal is not met, they will halt all working activities in the districts. This ultimatum underscores the depth of their frustration and their willingness to take drastic measures to ensure their voices are heard. It also highlights the potential for significant disruption if the situation is not resolved swiftly.
Partisans further alleged that Commissioner Boma has been more aligned with rival political interests, the operation of illegal minding Company and placement of his names for personal benefits as mean they want he out.
Beyond the issues of neglect and unaccountability, the partisans leveled additional serious allegations. They accused Commissioner Boma of being “more aligned with rival political interests,” suggesting a betrayal of the Unity Party’s mission in the districts. The mention of “the operation of illegal minding Company” points to involvement in activities that are both unethical and potentially illegal. Furthermore, the “placement of his names for personal benefits” was cited as evidence of self-serving behavior, further justifying their demand for his removal.
The Unity Party stakeholders in the districts are therefore calling on national leadership to take swift and decisive action by relieving Commissioner Boma of his post and appoint a leader who reflects the values and goals of the party.
Given the gravity of these allegations and the widespread discontent, Unity Party stakeholders in the districts are appealing directly to the party’s national leadership. They are calling for “swift and decisive action” to remove Commissioner Boma from his position and to appoint a new leader who truly reflects the values and goals of the Unity Party. This demand underscores the urgent need for a change in leadership to restore trust and unity among party members.
“We cannot sit by while someone with no regard for Unity Party loyalists continues to suppress our people. We demand change, and we demand it now,” the statement concluded.
This powerful concluding statement captures the resolve and urgency felt by the partisans. It serves as a rallying cry for immediate action, reflecting the deep sense of injustice and the determination to bring about meaningful change in the districts.
The Unity Party partisans in the three districts have vowed to intensify their campaign until their concerns are addressed, signaling a potential escalation if the matter is not resolved promptly.
The story does not end here. The partisans have made it clear that their campaign for change will only intensify if their concerns are not addressed. This vow signals the likelihood of further escalation, with the potential for significant political and social repercussions if the Unity Party’s leadership fails to act. The situation remains tense, and the coming days will be critical in determining the future direction of both the districts and the party itself.
