The latest alleged demand from Dr. Bu-Buakei Jabbi should not come as too much of a surprise to those of us who have been observing Sierra Leone politics for the past thirty years.

Jabbi is one of the most cunning Sierra Leonean politicians whilst John Benjamin’s series of landslide victories in politics (from his Student Days to date) has not helped him to hone his cunning skills to the point of being politically fine tuned.

Winning elections by landslides serve to dull your political skills. JOB has not found himself in situations where he had to sharpen his political senses to be a cunning, deceitful politician who says what he does not mean. He is a very genuine politician and so his cunning detractors have been running circles around him.

JOB, a winner of landslide election victories, has rarely been exposed to the kind of sinister and treacherous politics he now finds himself within; as a result, he is out of his depths not knowing who to trust anymore.

JOB has now finally realised that not all SLPP animals are equal when it comes to politics; indeed, some are more equal than others and others are more cunning and treacherous than others!

Meanwhile, Bu-Buakei Jabbi is busy playing one group up against another in order to arrive at his final destination which is one where both himself and his long-term pal, J.B. Dauda will walk on the same political pathway as they used to do a long time ago.

In the midst of all this is the powerful shadow of one of the finest masters of the craft of politics in contemporary Sierra Leone times: THE WHITE GENERAL himself.

The man is just too good as he manipulates things from his dollars-loaded office in that huge white building in central Freetown with the fullest assistance and cooperation of the Anti-Corruption Commission.

Without ACC at his beck and call to beat things into shape, the WHITE GENERAL would never have obtained the clear roadmap to January 2013 which he currently sights with confidence.

Consequent, the Mayor of Bo and the Mayor of Kenema alongside a host of South-Eastern Paramount Chiefs & Stakeholders, can only dance to the tune as played by the ACC to the satisfaction of the WHITE GENERAL who is expert of ‘Good Cop; Bad Cop’ politics.

The WHITE GENERAL is so good that even the greatest within the Black Family have been sucked into his power play without realising just how much they are now pawns within the White Family.

Finally, the uninitiated should forgive this cryptic language today. This message is meant only for those with a deeper understanding of the last 30 years of politics in Sierra Leone.
