Alistair Nelson Left Out in the Cold as Illness Strikes and Loyalty Goes Unrewarded
Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Honourable Alban Bagbin has shockingly turned his back on longtime supporter Alistair Tahiru Nelson, leaving him to battle a life-threatening illness alone. Nelson, once a key promoter of Bagbin’s political rise, is now neglected and advised to seek herbal remedies due to cost concerns. Despite Nelson’s sacrifices, Bagbin has severed ties, excluded him from key opportunities, and ignored his pleas for help. As Bagbin enjoys the perks of power, his former ally suffers, raising serious questions about the Speaker’s loyalty.
Nelson, known for his role in the infamous Montie trio, had defected from former President John Mahama’s camp to join forces with Bagbin. His loyalty was unwavering, even at the cost of severing ties with the Mahamas. But now, as he battles a life-threatening illness, the man he supported so fervently has allegedly left him to fend for himself.
Reports suggest that Speaker Bagbin, who has ascended to one of the most powerful positions in the land, advised Nelson to seek cheaper herbal medicine rather than offer the financial support needed for proper medical care. This recommendation has sparked outrage among those who believe Bagbin has forsaken the very people who helped him rise to power.
Sources close to Nelson reveal that since Bagbin’s elevation to Speaker, he has systematically cut ties with the loyalists who stood by him during his flagbearer bid. Nelson, who once had a direct line to Bagbin, now finds his calls unanswered, and the group’s meeting place that once buzzed with activity has been shut down.
What makes this betrayal sting, even more, is that Bagbin is said to have recruited numerous youths into the Parliamentary Service, doling out jobs and contracts to others while leaving Nelson out in the cold. Despite having traveled with many and given out opportunities left and right, Nelson’s loyalty and sacrifices have gone unrewarded.
For Nelson, the betrayal is not just professional but deeply personal. He sacrificed his relationship with the Mahamas, believing in Bagbin’s vision and leadership. Now, he stands alone, isolated from the political circles he once moved in, all because he chose to support Bagbin.
Bagbin’s recent actions have raised eyebrows, with many accusing him of cunningly distancing himself from those who supported him when he had nothing. Now, as he rubs shoulders with the rich and powerful, the very people who helped him reach these heights are being discarded without a second thought.
Alistair Nelson’s story is a tragic one, highlighting the often ruthless nature of politics, where loyalty is too often repaid with neglect. As he battles his illness, one can only hope that those in power remember the sacrifices made by those who once stood by them.
