Taking records down the memory lanes, your government has failed to provide for the needs of our citizens who have been wretchedly pauperized by your bad political policies as the President of our dear nation. In your campaign promises to be elected the Republic’s President, we vehemently supported and financed your visions, mandate and plans. We also succeeded in getting our citizens to vote for you in the general election that made you the winner and as obtainable in a popular democracy, you won the Presidential election to preside over the government of our dear nation and no illegitimate confrontations greeted your victory.
As a political movement in the face of our people’s politically fantasized society, we have harmoniously resolved to continue supporting your administrations to ensure that the political economy of our dear nation is holistically transformed. Be reminded that In the end, your government erred and violated several laws of our dignified parliament that in excesses, the ills that the great Republic suffers today as a result of your political frailties rings a bell in the heart of an average citizen. Moreso, Your government gags the press, twists the originally endorsed constitutional principles and ventures into calumny, political falsehood and proven cases of drug paddling whose aftermaths have germinated the crops of socio-political instability in the country.
Mr. President, have quickly forgotten that your administration corruptly weakened our nation’s economy? thereby causing the spate of corruption, drug trafficking and other lines of juvenile delinquency in the land.
President Emballo Sir, don’t forget that your political deficiencies to date denied the legitimate announcement of the next Presidential election timetable in Guinea Bissau. Your government arbitrarily gagged the press, abused our citizens’ human rights and at worst, plunged them into regrettable economic doldrums, hard labour and infrastructural lapses. It is abnormal that a man of your standing who governs as a President elected under the aegis of a certified political party and rules of law intentionally breaches the letters of the engagements to selfishly favour your interest and avarice for cheap gains.
In all, Mr President, be advised that your acceptance of accountability as the only weapon through safe government is evaluated gains upper hands, guinea Bissau would again become great and if wisely adopted would redeem our Country from the deluge of instability, economic bottlenecks and in the most needed, whitens the dark face of our dilapidated economic and political system. be also advised that you simply accept the fact that power isn’t a personally acquired enterprise rather it changes hands when circumstances demand so while comprehending that in a liberal democracy, the will of the people prevails through the ballot box. To govern is a task and to be governed is another state of emotional crisis plaguing the actors of a balanced political system.
To register my protest, kindly refrain from arrogance and self-inflicted deception and embrace the spirit of having a listening ear to right the wrongs. I strongly believe in bringing the world to invest in our dear Country, Guinea Bissau. Bluntly, I hate ethnic sentiment because it hasn’t paid us any good and clinching on such a mentality ruins the success of democracy and true federalism. Do not make these your tools of oppression.
It takes a purely rooted heart to accept wrongs and change for the better. I, hereby ask the government of President Umaro Emballo to eschew pride and allow his nationals to make inputs in the government of their fatherland provided the system is friendly with the widely recognized manners through which things are realistically handled in our old and today’s socio-political society.
