Cllr. Cephus Reacts to Mamie Doe’s Ire Against Weah -Says Weah had Every Reason To Mourn Mrs Doe’s Passing

Mammie Doe, daughter of former President Doe and the just-demised former first lady of Liberia Nancy Doe, has cast the mourning of her mother into the noisy Liberian political theater, something many consider traditionally stressful for the bereaved family and restless for the spirit of the dead. Various politicians and commentators are exploiting the unfortunate situation for political gains and along political lines. This is irking for a fellow Southeasterner, former Solicitor General Sayma Cyrenius Cephus, who is blaming Ms. Doe for recharging the sad spectacle for her dead parents. The Analyst reports.   

Sayma Cyrenius Cephus, a Liberian lawyer hailing from the Southeast of Liberia whence also hail former President George Manneh Weah and the Samuel K. Doe family, is not feeling too good that the daughter of the Doe’s has opened a can of wombs in the fall of her mother, former first lady Nancy Doe, by unleashing a blistering attack on Weah whose expression of sympathy for the death of mother Nancy Doe provoked the unnecessary uproar.

Cephus expressed shock and dismay for letter of “surprise” from Mammie Doe to President Weah’s expression of condolences for the irreparable loss of her dear mother after he allegedly mistreated and humiliated her on the false account of being married to her and then proceeded to deny her benefits that are set aside for former First Ladies by law.

“My mom once told me that moments of trials and tribulations are times that can bring people closer together no matter their diverse positions on the social scale. This is why I consider your ‘surprise letter’ a bit too weird as it tends to generate a spate of politics rather than a fair assessment of what your mother experienced. George Weah’s greatest enemy is his inability to reason beyond whatever he hears from his aides, friends and family about other people.

“The truth of the matter is Weah was not the source of that nefarious tribal campaign unleashed unto our political landscape by ill-mannered and die-hards Unity Party officials around Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in 2011. Strangely, these are the same people that your are extolling today.”

The former Government chief prosecutor said Mammie’s “surprise letter” reminded him of the proverbial selling of Jesus Christ: everyone is blaming Judas but nobody is concerned about whether Judas would have had the opportunity to sell Jesus if there had been no market by the Romans for human cargos?

“Some of us know who were the architects of the campaign but instead of going after them, the spotlight is placed on Weah’s tantrums,” he wrote in a special article targeting the daughter of the former President.  “I disagree. Nancy B. Doe was the first direct native woman from selling charcoals to become First Lady in Liberia. Her image straddles the political divide and became a bridge between the decadent past of the True Whig Party oligarchy and the future of Liberia’s multi- party democratic dispensation.

“Like her late husband they were catapulted on the political stage by events and unaware of the enormity of the task on hand they toyed with people of varied political intentions and persuasions that ultimately reincarnated the criminal vestiges of Americo-Liberians rule.”

Cephus further reminded the young Doe that like her mother’s husband, Doe, Nancy Does was a victim of historical fallacies shrouded in the agitation of power to the natives as the surest way of guaranteeing Liberia’s stability.

He added: “Sadly, Nancy B. Doe saw the decimation of over 250,000 of fellow compatriots most of whom were by her husband in a form of a game of throne movie drama. It’s our solemn duty despite our diversity to mourn her passing. Many of us did not see her but her name shall forever be in our hearts. Weah had every reason to mourn her passing!”
