Bhofal Chambers: The Man who took the Ruling Party by The Horn

Bhofal Chambers is been hailed by his people as a political giant who took the ruling Unity Party of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia, by the horn.

Politicians from all the main parties including common citizens around the country are united to praise the man who shook the very foundation of the ruling Party.

An often bitter relationship with all the members of the Maryland Legislative Caucus of which Chambers is an integral part, was put to one side by his people as he led a wrestling match with the Cavalla Rubber Corporation which has monopolized rubber and oil palm business in Maryland County.

Bhofal is a political giant.

He is also, in every sense, the first politician to tackle a ruling party of which he was a part and parcel in the 21st century and maybe before then. By his humble background, and by the fact of his democratic election, he is vibrant.

As Representative of the Pleebo/Sodokeh district he is confronted by the enormous problems of Cavalla Rubber Corporation’s tremendous greed for the natural endowment of the people of Pleebo/Sodokeh district. If those problems eventually defeated him, he would have shown the fatigue in dealing with CRC and the Unity Party. For that, and much else besides, we are indebted to him.

Many Marylanders agree Bhofal is one of the political rocks of Gibraltar of the beginning of the 21st century. He may be the last progressive leader in Maryland emerging out of the 1980 coup d’état in Liberia. After he relinquishes power, he will always be remembered as representative of the Pleebo/Sodokeh district that took multinational corporation by their throats on behalf of his people without being scathed. His achievements will also go far beyond that.

Bhofal is considered as a man of great integrity and beliefs, from which he never wavered. When history is written, he will be remembered as a political leader of great stature and significance.

There will be few of whom it can be said that they literally changed the course of history, but undoubtedly, where Pleebo/Sodokeh district is concerned, that can be said of Bhofal.

Bhofal is a man of conviction and enormous talent who towered above his critics. His convictions are lasting and never disposable. His experience in politics began long when he was a young lad in Bishop Ferguson High School where he left me as his junior.

History will give him a very high rating. He is a very great man; above all, he is an enormous patriot with an immense sense of patriotism.

Bhofal is passionate about getting rid of unemployment in Maryland.

If you have fought alongside men and women of different political views, you come to respect them and listen to what they have to say

I have been in the trenches of politics with Bhofal in our formative days.
