Monrovia - World Bank Managing Director Sri Mulyani Indrawati, arrives in Liberia on Friday, March 23, for a two-day official visit.

Washington,D.C. –The Minister Counselor for Press and Public Affairs at the Embassy of Liberia in Washington, D.C., Hon. Gabriel I.H. Williams has appealed for increased assistance from the United States for the development of Liberia’s educational system.

Monrovia - Representative Garrison Yealue (NUDP-District #4 Nimba County) the man whose victory many credit to the influence and assistance of Senator Prince Johnson, appears to have fallen out of favor and is in a serious war-of-words with the Nimba County folklore.

Yealue, in a strongly-worded statement described Senator Johnson’s statement that he(Johnson) helped him to win election as a shameful lie coming from a pathological liar, declaring that the county’s Senior Senator has reached his waterloo and looking for someone to go down with him.

At a news conference Thursday, Yealue told reporters that his victory in the 2011 presidential and general elections was the will of the people of Nimba County Electoral District Four, and was in no way the making of Senator Prince Johnson then standard bearer of the National Union for Democratic Progress (NUDP) as many are being led to believe.

It has been reported in the media that Senator Prince Johnson recently told a gathering that he was the brain behind the election of Rep. Yealue as representative of District 4 Nimba County and actions by the freshman lawmaker to disobey his mandate was an act of disobedience to him.

But on Thursday, Yealue fired back, declaring: “I am here today because of my moral upbringing and the exemplary role I have selected to live as a young person. I have never used diabolical lies and trouble to gain prominence. My life is simple and honest.”

Giving his record with the people of Nimba County that led to his election as lawmaker in the 2011 general elections Yealue said, he began work with the people of his district and county in general as far back as the 1990s when he organized an organization that discouraged young people from toting arms as well as working with women group and establishing the Global youth initiative that under took many meaningful projects in the district.

Continued Yealue: “My support base is unique and did not need the support from Senator Johnson. In fact, he didn’t campaign at all in my district. For a matter of fact, I was encouraged to join the party to add needed values and directions.”

The NUDP Nimba District 4 representative called on Senator Johnson to “cry his own cry “ and do away with what he described a child’s play.

“He doesn’t need to buy undue sympathy from the people of Nimba County by striving on a bloody lies. Let me say this much: The people of Nimba are smarter than before come 2014 they will read between the lines, Yealue added.”

He also promised to seek legal action against Senator Johnson base on advised from his legal counsel.

Quizzed about the latest inconsistent statement made by Senator Johnson about his resignation from the party and his membership he said: “As far as we are concern Senator Johnson has resigned from the party. If he is to be reconsidered, that will mean he has to beg the party executive committee for sympathy.”

Rep. Yealue also described Senator Johnson as a serious disappointment to Nimba county noting that Nimba is a county that have produced great people but in the case of Johnson he was a compete embarrassment to the people of Nimba county.

The latest rivalry between the pair is believe to be as a result of recent difference the County legislative caucus had over the payment of fees as scholarship for University Students of the county.

It was believe that Rep. Yealue and few other lawmakers opposed a mandate from Sen. Johnson for scholarship fees of University students to be paid out of the county account without any notice to the budget law and the county priority.

It is believe that senator Johnson been aware that 2014 is not too far, when he and others will be contesting to retain their positions as senators of their respective counties decided to play politics with the county funds by putting the students against other lawmakers who believe that the county fund should be use in accordance with the budget law.

The situation intensified recently prompting students to stage a protest at the capitol building.
