Renowned Social Group Warns Against Political Violence Ahead of Liberia’s Crucial Elections

Africa-Press – Liberia. As Liberia goes to election on October 10, 2023, a legally registered social organization in Liberia known as ‘Serious Relationship Association (SRA)’ is warning its members to stay away from violence in the October 10, 2023 general elections.

SRA is a non-political group that is addressing the humanitarian needs of underprivileged citizens in Montserrado and surrounding counties, through the supply of assorted items.

The organization is built on four cardinal principles: Unity, Care, to give back and to Love.

Patrick Sunny Wolo, who is the organization’s Chief Executive Officer, said the humanitarian group will not pledge support to any political parties nor individuals’ candidates in the ensuing elections, though its members are from diverse political backgrounds.

The U.S. based Liberian noted that the organization is being monitored by its chapters in 19 other countries around the world; as such, every member risks dismissal if they engage in political violence.

He stated that the over six thousand members in Liberia should serve as ambassadors of peace during these electioneering periods.

“We are about to go to election in October, and I say to all of my over six thousand members in Liberia to stay away from violence. Our institution remains nonpolitical. We will not pledge our allegiance to any political party, the reason being is that we are all from different political backgrounds and we tell you to shine your eyes and make the rightful decision for our country,” he said.

Due Payment

The Serious Relationship Association CEO, at the same time, disclosed the pending arrival of assorted materials for members of the organization who have paid dues for the past six months, as well as materials for less fortunate people in Montserrado County.

He encouraged members who have paid their Monthly dues for the past six months to settle their obligation with the institution.

Patrick Sunny Wolo maintains that payment of dues would help the Organization to meet its plan of action and address prevailing challenges.

“We have been delinquent with due payment. And I say to you, if you have not paid your dues from January to June, I am calling on you to pay your dues and settle your arrears with the organization. In July this year, we will distribute some asserted items to members who have paid their monthly dues up to six months,” Patrick added.

Organization’s Anniversary

The Serious Relation Association will clock two years of existence in December 2023, and according to its CEO, a series of activities are being organized to ensure a successful anniversary celebration in December.

Mr. Wolo disclosed among other things that a major tournament will be hosted among 32 targeted communities, as part of the activities marking the institution’s two years anniversary.

“SRA turns two years in December with organizations to join in celebrating our anniversary. Together we all will succeed. We have thought it wise to postpone the tournament to December of this year. We are hopeful to have the 32targeted communities and the tournament will consist of gold medals, jerseys and football. We have spoken with the coach of Union Duala and he has finally agreed to take the MVP of the tournament to union Duala,” he concluded

The Serious Relationship Association has chapters in 19th countries around the world. Its Chief Executive Officer Patrick Sunny Wolo is a U.S based Liberian, and former employee of the American Embassy in Monrovia, who was awarded during his resignation by the former US Ambassador, Linda Thomas Greenfield.

He also served as security Advisor to two auditors general of the republic of Liberia including Robert Kilby and the late Yousador Gaye.
