Nimba County District #7 Representative Musa Bility says that Liberia is suffering and emphasizes the need to break free from the chains of failed leadership. In an article Titled, “Third Option: Breaking Free from the Chains of Failed Leadership, Representative Bility said he was fully awake, fully burdened, and fully heartbroken by the sound of a nation gasping for breath. According to him, his statement is not out of politics, but as a witness to the slow decay of a dream citizens once shared, as all he sees around him crushes the spirit.
“To my left, those who govern, so desperate to cling to power that they will crush any voice, rewrite any truth, and spend the country’s soul just to stay in charge. They are not leading, they are guarding a throne. And the cost is bleeding through the lives of children who die without care, women who labor without hope, and families who feed on despair,” Bility’s article stated.
He said the “so-called” opposition, wounded, fragmented, and driven not by a vision of redemption, but by vengeance, do not challenge the system but mimic it; they speak of change, but their hands are heavy with the past.
“And in the middle of this dark theater, Liberia cries. We are caught between those who will do anything to hold power and those who will say anything to take it. But neither side is listening to the people anymore. They are trading retribution while our schools fall apart. They are plotting comebacks while our hospitals run dry. They are shaking hands behind closed doors while the rest of us bury our dignity in silence,” the lawmaker noted.
Bility indicated that his writing was not out of bitterness but of a deep reflection on “What if we stopped looking left and right? What if we looked forward?”The lawmaker said the truth is that the nation cannot go back to those who broke it in the first place, nor to those who watched it break and said nothing, adding it must not return to her abusers.
The Article; “There are men and women, quiet, uncelebrated, uncorrupted, who are ready to rise. They are not perfect, but they are principled. They are not loud, but they are listening. They are not seasoned in deception, but they are shaped by sacrifice. And they are waiting, not for permission, but for recognition. The future is not in the usual place. It is in the Third Option. The Third Lane. The one we’ve ignored for too long because it’s not paved with party colors, tribal comfort, or war-era fame. But it is real. It is rising. And it is ours if we dare to see it.”
Representative Bility believes that Liberia cannot be rescued by those who broke it and cannot be healed by those who traded its wounds for wealth. Thus, the country cannot be led by those who see leadership as entitlement.
“This moment is not just a choice. It is a test of national memory. Will we go back to what failed us, or forward to what frees us? Let this be the moment we stop searching for saviors and start building a country. Let this be the moment we believe in ourselves again. Let this be the moment we finally say: Enough,” he said.
