— Warns of Devastating Consequences
IPNEWS: The National Campaign Chairperson of the Coalition for Democratic Change, Eugene Nagbe, condemns recent violence that took place in Nimba County over the weekend leaving a partisan of the CDC dead.
Eugene Nagbe alleged that the violence was masterminded by Senator Prince Y. Johnson and the Unity Party together with other accomplices.
Eugene Lenn Nagbe stated that the action by the Unity Party and Senator Johnson was a scare tactic to instill fear in the minds of the People of Nimba not to vote for a developmental candidate as President George Manneh Weah.
Nagbe said Senator Prince Johnson is insignificant to the development agenda of Liberia and nothing should stop the people of Nimba County from going in their numbers on November 14 2023 to vote for a candidate of their choosing.
” Let me tell Sen. Prince Johnson, and others that think violence is the way out. Don’t try it!”
“Do not take the government’s respect for the rule of law and civility as weakness! The people of Nimba County will come out to vote. Again, Sen. Johnson, do not teet our resolve!” Hon. Eugene Nagbe warned.
The CDC Campaign Chair encourages the former warlord turned self-styled evangelist to focus on helping to develop Nimba County and the younger generation of the county-stressing that the people of Nimba County are good.
He laughs at the divisive politicking by Sen. Johnson for a Nimba county Presidency, when he has refused to support Cllr. Gongloe, and others who participated in the recent Election hailing from the very county he pretends to solely love.
“This issue of Prince Johnson is not about Nimba but it about himself, He wants people who he thinks he controls The people of Nimba County are very good people and they will Vote for President Weah”.
“We condemn all voidance, all the nonsense they are on is that we didn’t drag them well during the first round.”
“We are here today that a few days from now the Liberian people will be re-electing President Weah, The plan from the Unity Party is to undermine the peace since the start of this campaign Three of our supporters were killed by the opposition.”
“We have had serval meetings with our partners, one blood of an individual is important to this process. Nimba, Lofa, and Montserrado counties incidents; this government is not weak as it had been carried out by this opposition Unity Party, This Party-CDC had always been a party of law but did not push us. ” Eugene L. Nagbe intone.
There has been an immediate response from Senator Prince Johnson, however, a statement from the Unity Party’s standard bearer Amb. Joseph Boakai called for calm following a day of violence in Nimba County. See the full statement below.
STATEMENT BY
HON. JOSEPH NYUMA BOAKAI
STANDARD BEARER OF THE UNITY PARTY ON THE CLOSING OF THE UNITY PARTY’s CAMPAIGN
NOVEMBER 12, 2023
Our Party’s Leadership, Our Allies from other Political Parties
My Fellow Citizens, Dear Liberians
Members of the Press
I want to thank all of our political allies for their support, loyalty, and commitment to the Rescue Agenda. Liberia will reward you for the decision you have made to join and collectively change our country for the better.
Tuesday, November 14, 2023, will mark yet another milestone in our collective sojourn as a nation. These run-off elections represent the final push to remove terror, lawlessness, corruption, indifference, neglect, and incompetence that have plagued our country for six years.
We are confident that Liberians will turn out again in their mass to demonstrate their love, courage, resilience, and determination to join us in rescuing our country. Our plans to lead this country are afoot and our resolve is unmatched.
With victory in our reach and Mr. Weah’s fear of the day of reckoning, he has embarked on a reckless misadventure to orchestrate a campaign of fear. He and his co-conspirators have now resorted to the worst acts of cowardice to frighten our people into submission but one man’s desperation for power will not hold our country ransom.
In recent days, Mr. Weah and his Government have violated all principles and laws that promote democracy and free and fair elections. He has wantonly flaunted and committed serious violations of our constitution, and regional and international laws, especially the ECOWAS Protocol.
On Friday, November 10, 2023, while our Vice Standard Bearer, Senator Jeremiah Kpan Koung, and Senator Prince Yormie Johnson were leading scheduled campaign activities in Zor Zualay, Nimba County, they narrowly escaped death when their convoy came under a hail of gunfire.
