Is this a coincidence or a trend? Recent developments in the Sierra Leone People’s Party, particularly when it comes to elections, seem fascinating.
The First Lady appears to have a gold touch, and whomever she endorses for a crucial elective office turns out to be gold.
The biggest concern is whether her golden touch would be a curse like King Midas’.
We all know that, in the legend, King Midas was obsessed with gold, despite possessing a lot of it.
He imagined that if he possessed the golden touch, he would be the happiest man on earth. Then his request was realized, and everything he touched became gold.
He was pleased and dashed to the palace, where he enthusiastically embraced his daughter, but she suddenly transformed into gold. He wept and begged for the yearning to be taken away from him.
The story’s message is to consider carefully before making judgments; each choice has its own set of repercussions, so make wise choices.
Now that the delegates have decided, what does this mean for the SLPP?
Will it unite or disintegrate the party?
Will the First Lady’s golden touch joyfully embrace her second daughter, who is expected in 2023, only to transform her into a solid gold baby statue?
