Minister sacked for marrying SLPP woman

Minister sacked for marrying SLPP woman thumbnail

Disclosures are that the sacking of the Minister of Energy and Power, Prof. Ogunlade Davidson was due to leaks that he has pitched fence with a tough SLPP woman; underhandedly saying “I do” to her matrimonial reunion.

It is told that the sacked Minister surreptitiously had a wedding get-together with an opposition Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) strong female follower – one time Minister of Health in the redundant regime, Madam Abathur Thomas.

Throughout the wedding, our source revealed, not a single executive, Minister or strong member of the governing APC was present.

The wedding was allegedly dominated by strong SLPP bigwigs, and a number of friends of the wedded wife.

A state house source has nevertheless told this press that the information regarding Prof. Ogunlade’s wedding of the SLPP bigwig reached ears of the APC days prior to his dismissal.

Revelations are that senior APC members have accused the sacked Minister for betraying the trust of the APC party; and said he is a suspect of an ‘information sell out.’

It could be recalled that the media, on a number of occasions, has accused the sacked Energy Minister of corruption, in particular, the awarding of contracts and other related issues to allies of his.

He was also accused of bending procurement rules thus single handedly giving a contract for the purchase of a generator for the Lungi community to a business organization, which up until now is unfulfilled.

As at going to press, efforts to get comments from the sacked Minister or his alleged wife, the Minister of Information, or his deputy, proved futile.

What a weak reason to fire the minister. Only in banana republics such as ours would this episode occur. In the US, James Carville who was the architect of Bill Clinton's campaign in 1992 married Mary Matalin who was a senior campaign strategist for George H.W.Bush. They are blessed with two daughters and their marriage is still going strong even though they remain political opposites.

I'm told Bio was a guest at the wedding. Before the wedding. Abator Thomas made a financial contribution publicly to Bio's campaign.

Let's not jump the gun here. The minister was fired for running the most inept and scandalously inefficient ministries. All those people suffering from rampant blackout misery are not crying for Ogunlade. Even SLPP supporters would agree that Energy and Power is a joke of a ministry. The SLPP press is up to their usual mischief with this marriage thingy.

Fen Plaba Lizzie,

 

So what is Kalokoh still doing at NPA? If NPA is useless, why keep the GM Kalokoh?

"The minister was fired for running the most inept and scandalously inefficient ministries."

Don't make me laugh!

A cabinet headed by you know who - a  man pretending to understand how an economy works!

Please, a subordinate is as good as the man at the helm to whom everyone reports.

Ogunlade cannot be held responsible for a problem that requires nothing less than $1 billion to fix and assuming that everyone pays their utility bills in the country.

With unemployment at 80% and average daily income at less than a dollar, I cannot see too many people running to electricity house to pay their bills. Do you?

His sacking has nout to do with competence fella!

Fen Plaba is a disappointment. People like him are dangerous to salone's well being. I do not know if  because of family connections to EBK or tribal affiliation to the APC, the dude(or fake Lizzie or Margaret Mattia) always tries his best to defend the APC.

 

Tell me how many competent ministers we have in salone who are running efficient ministries? Richard Konteh is trade minister, and the price of rice is currently above 200,000 Leones. Where is the rice that was donated by Guinea?

 

The president has kept Musa Tarawally as a minister. He even promoted the thug, even though a commission has told him to get rid of the idiot, and ban him from politics for a considerable period of time.

 

You cannot be serious to point fingers at Ogunlade for incompetency when the number of incompetent idiots we have in gov't including the president is uncountable.

 

You guys keep on keeping on. Unar cup go full.

We'll weed the useless ones out and send them to the SLPP.

Fen Plaba's (aka numerous handles) political views are healthy. Posts not dangerous. He is NOT paranoid. Views SLPP supporters on the forum as political adversaries not as enemies....see's them as fellow compatriots.

"Please", 
I understand your sour outlook on life, my friend. You are not the only one with this moroseness and blind partisan allegiance to your little shrimpette of an SLPP party. I know the kwashiorkor  you suffered as a child is still lingering, but that is neither here nor there. As for your habit of associating me with Fen Plaba, go ahead with your bad self. have fun with it, pleazy please. Lol.

I still aver that Ogunlade was a disgrace as a minister, and the President had no choice but to fire him. How can you be in charge of electricity and preside over the miasma of blackouts, and not be held accountable? In SLPP's retrograde Incompetency, it was acceptable behavior. APC doesn't accept this kind of roto rata attitude. If you are not up to snuff, we will make you snuff and feed you to an old man's Tabaca habit.

The APC mantra is simply, lead, forward march, or get the **** out of the way.

According to reliable sources within the SLPP the eccentric professor is an SLPP plant in the APC whose cover was blown by the APC's informer within the SLPP.The old professor has been indulged in subversion with the sole motive of making Bumbuna inoperable so as to turn the nation against EBK. The married between Ogunlade and the SLPP lady was an SLPP idea which has resulted into their biggest disappointment. So instead of wrecking Bumbuna it is the SLPP plans that have been wrecked beyond implementation.

APCers hate SLPP men but they are so very much attracted to SLPP women why is that ?
