Oh these people. When the cotton tree burned the last time, they said it’s a sign that Maada Bio will lose the election and it was the opposite that happened. Now they’ve set fire onto it and said it is the end of the SLPP government. When will you learn? Does it mean that it is a confirmation of the end of the power that used to rule the country?

Let the cotton tree burn to ashes. It is a colonial relic that has served no useful purpose but to remind us of slavery. Let it burn. Let the cotton tree burn. It signifies evil in our country. It is an ocultic center for witchcraft and cultism. Let the cotton tree burn down to ashes so we can build a monumental edifice in its place. Let it burn.
