-Jeremiah Sulunteh describes his alleged resignation from the CDC Campaign Team.
Jeremiah Sulunteh, the Chairman of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) Campaign Team Bong County Chapter, has characterized as a “total nonsense and diabolical”, a recent information about his resignation from the party.
He referenced that recently, some individuals have insinuated that he has resigned from the CDC and declined his position given him to serve on the party’s National Campaign Team and claimed that he said some destructive things in a leaked audio
He also distanced himself from the other claim that he had resigned from the National Campaign Team of the Coalition for Democratic Change.
Addressing a news conference Thursday at the party’s headquarters in Congo Town, Mr. Sulunteh termed such allegations as diabolical, nonsense and only intended to smear his hard earned character.
He stressed that moving forward, he is no longer going to be diplomatic during the campaign and electioneering periods in the country.
According to him, he has two faces – political and diplomatic and currently, he has put on the political posture to be more robust, adding that as of now, he has declared himself “Outside”.
Mr. Sulunteh claimed that his character has been maligned by individuals especially from the opposition community who are eager for his service to their political camp but he has since refused.
He further assured his family members, friends and followers both in Liberia and in the diaspora that no manipulated tricks can destroy his reputation, stressing that he is more sophisticated that his political antagonists think.
