Monrovia – The Governing Unity Party says it does not have enemies in the opposition despite the description by the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) of being an enemy of the CDC.

Unity Party Chairman Wilmot Paye said only voters can determine faith and trust of the Liberian people, not the thoughts of the CDC and other political parties.
Recently, CDC Vice Chairman Mulbah Morlu labeled the ruling Unity party as enemy of the state, describing President Sirleaf and VP Boakai as one serpent with two heads.
Morlu in his damming Facebook post rallied the opposition to see the Unity Party as enemy of the state and exhibit non cooperative posture with it.
CDC Mulbah Morlu, decked fully in military regalia, vowed to prevent the continuation of the Sirleaf led government under Joseph Boakai. Mulbah Morlu posted on his Facebook page that his party will do all it can to legally stop a Joseph Boakai Presidency which he believes is a continuation of the Ellen’ regime.
Mr. Morlu, an ex-war crimes advocate, defected into active CDC politics after his claims to have met US President Barack Obama in 2009 was rejected by the US Embassy in Monrovia.
Since then he has been active within the ranks of the CDC, agitating against the Sirleaf’s administration which he has since described as corrupt.
Morlu has roots in pastoral life at the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana where he returned from after President Sirleaf took office in 2006; campaigning against her as a war crime indictee who he maintained should be prosecuted.
The CDC vice Chair for Operation has littered in pools of accusations with many accusing him and others of using Senator George Weah’s popularity as a means to make a living.
He called on all CDCians, sympathizers and well-wishers to join forces in unseating the Unity Party through the democratic process.
He wrote, on his Facebook page that the UP is an enemy of the state and of the CDC, describing President Sirleaf and VP Boakai as two headed dragon.
“To all CDCians, sympathizers and well-wishers, the enemy has been defined, and it’s time to build a rainbow coalition to proverbially behead the two-headed dragon,” he wrote.
He also wrote that the Liberty Party, ALP, ANC, LPDP, NPP, MPC are not the CDC’s enemies, saying, Ellen, Joe and their collaborators are public enemies of every good thing Liberia stands for.
Chairman Paye in an interview with the FrontPageAfrica described the comment as unfortunate but said the party is focused on its post-convention activities and cannot dignify such comment by the CDC.
Since its Gbarnga convention, the UP Chairman said scores of Liberians have expressed support for the Unity party. Wilmot Paye ran unopposed at the UP Gbarnga Convention, after Senator Varney Sharman opted not to re-contest.
