OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON THE SUSPENSION OF FLOMO MASSAQUOI, VICE CHAIR FOR OPERATION OF THE ALTERNATIVE STUDENTS

December 15, 2020

Press Statement for Immediate Release

The Alternative Students' Congress suspends comrade Flomo Massaquoi as Vice Chairman for Operations for time indefinite, and distances itself from what it terms as an individual rubber stamp endorsement of a candidate by Flomo Massaquoi in the senior class election without consultation and consensus from the central executive committee.

Comrades, compatriots, and the fighting forces of the revolutionary rejuvenated sundry committees of the Alternative Student's Congress, militants, cadres of the conscious students' movement, members of the fourth estate; ladies and gentlemen.

The Central Executive Committee of the Alternative Students' Congress wishes to dispel allegations that the ASC has pledged its support to the Coalition of Innovative Students Alliance of AMEU.

On December 5, 2020, the Alternative Students' Congress was left stunned by a social media publication in which her Vice Chair for Operations unilaterally endorsed a candidate in the ensuing December 2020 Senior Class election without any agreement or decision by the central executive committee of ASC, and has been actively working with the side he endorsed; at such, the Central Executive Committee which is the highest-decision making body of the Alternative Students' Congress sees such occurrence as an act of double-crossing, gross insubordination, and a sheer apostasy.

For us, this doesn't come as a surprise for we are aware that in times of power haunt, brothers who do not have the moral compass and inculcated party discipline tend to revert to reactionary deportment.

As a result, the Central Executive Committee of the Alternative Students' Congress has reached an agreement to suspend for time indefinite comrade Flomo Massaquoi Vice Chair for Operations after his deliberate refusal to honor invitations of the central executive committee of ASC to address his unilateral endorsement whilst still in the position of the vice chair for operations on several occasions, and his constant behavior of issuing threats to members of the central executive committee who have been trying all possible means to provide due diligence in finding an amicable resolution.

Henceforth, the central executive committee of the Alternative Students' Congress hereby suspends Flomo Massaquoi Vice chair for Operations for time indefinite with immediate effect, and warns that anyone doing business with said individual under the ambiance of ASC will be venturing at their own risk.

Meanwhile, the Alternative Students Congress urges its members to place the movement's interest above personal interest, and encourages its members to disengage from activities that have the temerity to undermine our irreversible aims and objectives; as the central executive committee will officially and publicly endorse candidates for this election on tomorrow after a thorough vetting process.

Motto: Nothing for us without us, for AMEU deserves better.

As we come to the end of WEEK TWO of this election semester, we want all students of AME University to place this revolutionary statement in AMEU context and contemplate on it for the weekend.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE ALTERNATIVE STUDENTS CONGRESS ON THE EXPULSION OF AN INGRATE IN S. MORRIS MASSALAY - JULY 20, 2020

The Central Executive Committee of our Pan-African revolutionary movement, the Alternative Students Congress (ASC) which towers as the numero uno for building consciousness and the bulwark for the interest of the students masses at the African Methodist Episcopal University salutes all cadres and militants of our revolutionary movement and sundry committees.

The beaming love and martyr spirit of our cadres and militants remain the impetus of our revolutionary mettlesome and ideological impregnability of this revolutionary movement.

As it is the doctrine and moral incumbency that all militants of our movement uncompromisingly guide and protect the alter-ego of our movement, the Central Executive Committee of the ASC will continue to jealously uphold and defend this conscious juggernaut. However, let it be known that the ASC will not hesitate to keelhaul any reactionary element whose aim is to bring our institution to public disrepute and subject it to the cesspit of dishonor and revolutionary ignominy by seeking personal cultism and self-aggrandizement at the expense of our cherished movement.
With the power vested and reposed in the Central Executive Committee - the highest decision-making body of the ASC, the Alternative Students Congress hereby, without further delay expels S. Morris Massalay with immediate effect from all activities of the institution.

Consequently, for several semesters, Massalay persistently depicts his stalinist tendency and remains egregiously repugnant to the leadership and entire membership of our movement.
In October 2018, during the chairmanship of our immediate past chairman Cde. Thomas T. Doe, Massalay publicly insulted the ASC on the campus of AMEU and spewed lies against our movement as a way of being accepted in another cycle, whilst blaming our movement for his sophomore class defeat; although, it came as a result of his heedlessness and caricature drift.
For the record, the ASC played a pivotal role in campaigning for the Jacobo (traitor) in Massalay, from the ASC's primary to the coining of his campaign platform and through the end of electoral process. Thus, Massalay lost the election for his political stupidity and flagrant refusal to remain in compliance with the ASC after our movement coined his campaign agenda; the chap planned and implemented his campaign activities against the ASC with no consultation. Subsequently, After being miserably flogged in the election for choosing not to work with the movement, he resulted to publicly attacking the ASC, as a result of frustration and prolonged hatred and envy, he specifically disgorges claptraps at the person of his leader Nathan N. Gbelee, the then freshman class president emeritus and ASC's first standard bearer whom Massalay served as Secretary General in the freshman class leadership of 2017/2018.
After realization of his missteps and his ordeal of experiencing the students scourge of disappointments for wrongly attacking ideologue Nathan N. Gbelee, he publicly apologized to Gbelee, but refused to do same to the leadership of the ASC. Since then, Massalay has deserted himself from the movement, but has been active with other campus-based political groupings and leaderships which implies no sense of real remorse or regret for constantly insulting officials of ASC and betraying the moral ideals of our movement.

The leadership of the ASC prudently decided not to expel nor suspend Massalay then, giving him the opportunity to realize his transgression for repentance as a political prodigal son for which he enjoyed other privileges and remained in the official general chatroom and other social media outlets of the movement.

However, the ASC has been proactively implementing its plan of action. In 2019, the movement went to congress and elected a new leadership with Comrade Abraham Africa Bailen Boimah transcending as Chairman, Augustus Nimely, Vice Chair for Administration, McDonald Gbasay, Vice Chair for Political Affairs, Flomo Massaquoi, Vice Chair for Operations, Tony Bemah as Secretary General and Nathan N. Gbelee as Assistant Secretary General respectively; among other appointed committees officials.

After supporting the presidency of Cde. Mildette A. Somah who succeeded the 2017/2018 Freshman class president emeritus Nathan N. Gbelee, the movement decided to support the presidential bid of Peter Yancy; providing strategic plans, platform formulation, technical support and canvassing, thus joining a political matrimony with Team MAS and Team Yancy to form a tripartite collaboration.

Going forward, the ASC lived up to its commitment as enshrined in the Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between the movements by supporting Team Yancy and ensuring its victory in the just-ended freshman class election as was done with Mildette A. Somah.

Amidst all of these occurences, the renegade in Massalay remains heedless to the operations of the ASC, thus spewing verbose and steadfast hatred and misguided mal-information maintaining his envious compunction coupled with his self-isolation from the ASC on delusive claims void of empirical evidence and logical reasoning.

Fast forward to this semester, Massalay only shared the official press statement of the ASC on May 1st stating our movement's position on AMEU's online migration program to spew out lies and again attack the ASC and some executive officials to bring the institution to public disrepute, a means to please his listless political masters; an attempt which amounted to no dice but the resistance from our vigorous militants prayed the devil back to hell.

After the leadership of the ASC reverberated caveats to the simpleton to refrain from his hateful and sophomoric display, Massalay again took on to Facebook usurping as an executive member of the ASC and using the ASC's logo. He posted what he claimed was the official position of the ASC. This again met huge disclaimer from notably our militants. The minikin didn't stop there but added non-members to the official chatroom of ASC, an act the leadership deems very unruly and tantamount to treachery which can not go unpunished.

It is against this backdrop that the Central Executive Committee has decided to expel with immediate effect the charlatan and apostate in one failed political toddler S. Morris Massalay who disregarded the movement's liberal stance on giving him a second chance to return to the movement.

Now, we say to the general public, S. Morris Massalay is no longer a member of the Alternative Students Congress; at such, any individual or organization doing business with Massalay is venturing at their own risk.
