Senator Prince Y. Johnson seems to give a damn about his critics over the endorsement of Sen. George M. Weah for President of the Republic of Liberia. The Nimba senior senator says, “To hell with them…” while responding to his critics.
Johnson, Standard-bearer of the Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction, told his critics to go to hell and tell the devil he sends them to hell for criticizing his recent decision to endorse the Coalition for Democratic Change ahead of Unity Party Standard-bearer, Vice President Joseph Nyuma Boakai in the November 7, Presidential run-off election.
“Those that are calling me negative names because I support Senator Weah for the presidency let them go to hell and tell the devil I sent them. I’m a minister of the gospel and I was not only born to be president for Liberia at this time. For those that I believe in me including the chiefs, traditional leaders, elders, youth and women groups, I think this is the time for Nimba County to produce president and that person is Senator Weah,” he said.
The Nimba County Senator said in the streets of Ganta City, Nimba County where he had paraded with Montserrado County Senator George Manneh Weah as the best choice for the nation’s presidency, indicating that his decision of selecting Weah is the option for the country’s interest.
Speaking in Ganta, Friday, October 27, Senator Johnson said that the he supports for many reasons including that Weah was born in Nimba County, and later brought to Clara Town, Monrovia, for schooling.
He noted that the platforms of the CDC represents the direct needs of the country that is healing from the 14 years of conflict and that is in dire need of the infrastructural progress, development of the young people’s mind, improved health care and social services.
The arrival of Weah and Johnson in the commercial city of Ganta, the traffic from Guinea road, and the road leading to the southeast came under total standstill, the city was captured with CDC’s campaign songs, entrainment spots, bars, and restaurants have no choice but to play the CDC’s songs.
Those who paraded entrained the march with slogan, “Election no cheating”, “this is our time, while others kept on singing Weah we taking you to the mansion, PYJ our hero has come,” among others.
