At the beginning of this year, I also reiterated my position in an article titled "End Game for Moupo's tragic-comic leadership" (See Sunday Standard Online). In this opinion piece, as I reflect on the outcome of the 2009 elections, for the benefit of the readers, I make reference to the issues I raised then. Events that unfolded in the past year and last weekend confirmed and validated my analogy. I also pointed out then that the present leadership crisis besieging the BNF, epitomised by the BNF Presidency, will not dissipate as his political blunders will become norm political practice within the BNF. However, we need to go beyond Moupo as the nation now knows what he represented - a tragic betrayal of the mass and progressive movement within the BNF and an unbridled collaboration with the BDP. If in doubt, I implore the reader to ask the following questions as we seek to understand Moupo's tragic-comic leadership. Why did the BDP loose cannons remain so tongue tied with regard to Moupo sloppy leadership? Clearly, it was either they did not take him seriously or he was part of their grand plan to annihilate this organisation through the most politically dubious means. One of the placards in BDP motorcade as it celebrated victory unsurprisingly read "Thank You Moupo."
Some months ago as we were reminiscing about a range of things during our school days with one of my peers, Moupo's leadership emerged as a subject and this bloke was quick to remind me how we eulogised him during his tussle with Kenneth Koma and Peter Woto.
