Liberia: Sen. Dillon Criticizes Kolubah and Kollie, Urges Liberians to Distinguish Advocacy from Political Performance

Monrovia – Senator Abraham Darius Dillon has addressed the political actions of Representative Yekeh Kolubah and activist Martin K.N. Kollie, urging Liberians to critically assess whether their public stances represent genuine advocacy or mere political performance.

In a recent statement, Dillon acknowledged that he does not have the moral authority to criticize Kolubah, noting the lawmaker’s consistent controversial rhetoric across different administrations. He pointed to Kolubah’s earlier attacks on former President George Weah, stating that despite those harsh criticisms, Kolubah was re-elected by the public.“When Yekeh was insulting and disrespecting former President George Weah, we lifted his hands and re-elected him.



So how can we now pretend to be surprised?” Dillon remarked, suggesting that while Kolubah’s rhetoric hasn’t changed, his support base has shifted.Dillon explained that Kolubah’s political strategy remains unchanged, with his confrontational style appealing to both opposition groups and members of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC). “Yekeh understands his game.

It only takes the Liberian people to understand it and place him where he belongs,” Dillon added.Turning to Martin Kollie, Dillon drew comparisons between Kollie and Kolubah, calling the former an “educated version” of the latter. Dillon raised concerns about Kollie’s ability to handle national responsibility despite his outspoken criticisms.

“If Martin Kollie were given national responsibility despite everything he writes and says, he would run away from it,” Dillon asserted.Despite his criticism of both figures, Dillon acknowledged that Kolubah and Kollie have played significant roles in exposing corruption. However, he emphasized that the public should discern meaningful advocacy from “noise.

”“You have to take the sense from the nonsense,” Dillon remarked, urging Liberians to critically evaluate the motives behind the actions of political activists and figures.Dillon also questioned Kollie’s criticisms of the Boakai administration, suggesting that Kollie’s current asylum status and academic pursuits abroad may be influencing his position. “He’s on asylum, going to school for free, getting everything free, and that’s why he continues to pretend to be an advocate,” Dillon claimed.

“He’s only trying to protect his chances of securing permanent residency.”The post Liberia: Sen. Dillon Criticizes Kolubah and Kollie, Urges Liberians to Distinguish Advocacy from Political Performance appeared first on FrontPageAfrica.
