In the context of ongoing political assessments and evaluations, there exists a traditional saying that goes, “You cannot fat a pig during the market day.” This popular phrase serves as a metaphorical warning, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and rewarding those who have steadfastly supported a political party during its challenging times, particularly when it comes to the All People’s Congress (APC). This adage is particularly relevant as it underscores the necessity of honoring and valuing the contributions made by longstanding party loyalists, especially those who have invested their time and resources during the party’s most tumultuous periods.
Hon. Chericoco is a prime example of such loyalty and commitment. He has stood by the APC during its dark days, when political struggles were rife and the future of the party hung in the balance. His unwavering dedication and tireless efforts to uphold the party’s values and objectives during these tough times have not gone unnoticed. As the party now moves forward in its quest for leadership, there is a growing sentiment among supporters and party members alike that it is high time to recognize and reward his exemplary contributions to the APC.
The resolve among the elders of the APC and its loyal supporters is clear: no longer should the party be swayed by fleeting allegiances or superficial contributions, as captured in the wisdom of the saying, “Baboo wok monki eat” which translates to a caution against rewarding those who have not been part of the struggle. Instead, they advocate for the idea that “Boboo Wok Baboo eat,” implying that those who have genuinely contributed and labored for the party’s success should be the ones to reap its benefits. With this prevailing mindset within the party hierarchy, it has become increasingly evident that Hon. Chericoco is not just another aspirant; he is distinctly qualified and uniquely suited to lead the APC as a presidential candidate, positioning the party for a successful campaign that aims for a decisive victory in the first round of voting in the 2028 general elections.
Many within the APC have come to realize that Hon. Chericoco embodies the qualities of a strong leader who understands the party’s ethos and its journey. His past services and sacrifices for the party have earned him a significant measure of political gratitude, and there is a resounding consensus among the APC’s supporters, “He is the right man for the job.” This endorsement is not merely a statement of support; it reflects a deep recognition of his ability to galvanize the party and bring about the change needed to secure a favorable outcome for the APC in the coming 2028 elections. As political assessments continue, the hope is that those making the decisions will heed this call and acknowledge the sacrifices made by loyal members such as Hon. Chericoco, ensuring that the future leadership of the APC truly reflects the values and commitments of its enduring supporters.
