KAKATA, Liberia- As the October 10 presidential and legislative elections draw nearer in Liberia, Margibi County Senator James Emmanuel Nuquay has warned citizens not vote what he called “stranger” as the Senator.
“Let me make myself clear here President Weah is a good man that is why this time around I will talk about his goodness but on the contrary please let us not vote Mr. Liar Man as Senator,” said Senator Nuquay.
The Margibi County Senator was speaking recently in Kakata, Margibi County when he spoke to hundreds of citizens.
The program was held at the Kakata City Hall under the auspices of the Margibi Muslim Women Association.
“Mr. Liar Man” is the title of one of the records President George Manneh Weah released few years ago.
Recently, Sen. Nuquay and his opposition People’s Unification Party (PUP) pledged support for the presidential bid of Weah and his CDC party.
“Since you love me as your son, political godfather and leader of your County I am asking you to see reasons to let us give President Weah a 2nd term. And the reason is very simple. We will be able to talk to him face-to-face because we are friends not just a friend but a good friend so we can help make Margibi County a better place in terms of development.
I am here with your own sons and daughter from District # 3 , Madam Dorathy Barcolleh and Mr. Emmanuel Yarh of District # 4 along with Hon Joseph Yapuya who wants to be Senator of our County Let see reason in making them be elected in October 2023,” Sen. Nuquay told citizens in Margibi County.
“There are other good people of the like of Hon. Clarence Jah, Mr.Josepeh Yapuya you named then who are also educated because he claimed to be educated but most of all he is a stranger Let us see reason of voting them in still of Mr. Liar Man ,he is not one of us,” said Senator Nuquay.
It is of no secret that Senator Nuquay support for the upcoming election is in no way in support of the former Minister of Ministry of State for Presidential Affairs, Nathaniel Farlo Mcgill.
The former Minister McGill is one of the many contestants that is vying for the Senatorial seat of Margibi County comes October 10, 2023.
There is no doubt that since the minister resigned from government dued to be sanctioned by America it is of no secret of his political ambition to be the next Senator of Margibi County.
He is said to be one of the most influential contenders in the County, but he so far faces a major challenge from Margibi County’s incumbent Senator James Emmanuel Nuquay, who claims that McGill is not a Margibian. But he says McGill is rather looking for opportunity since he has been sanctioned by the USA due to corruption.
So far, there are several names in the corridor of Margibi County who want or might be contesting comes October 10, 2024 which include Rev. Emmanuel J. Giddings, Joseph Yapuya, Clarice Jah, Ballah Zayzay, Joshua Robertson among others who want to replace Senator James Tornolo who has never declared his intention of a re-election.
In another development, Sen. Nuquay has received a certificate of Honor in recognition of his tremendously contributions to the Muslims Community and the County at large under.
In acceptance Senator James Emmanuel lauded praises on the women and say such honor came as a surprise but promised to continue working for the growth and development of the County.
Sen. Nuquay give the amount of LD$1,000,000.00 (One Million Liberian Dollars) as his contribution to the organization’s purchasing a land space for its offices.
Muslim group responds
Chairman Kuku Reves of the Margibi County Muslim Council presented the certificate of Honor on behlalf of the Margibi Muslim Women Association, while the women also gowned and sashed him with a title as the ” Greatest Man Ever in Margibi County.
“What we can say is that we are yet to understand how will this work up in Margibi when Margibi County Senatorial hopeful Sen. Nathaniel Farlo Mcgill is a high steward of the CDC while on the contrary, Sen. Nuquay has pledged his party’s support for the re-election of President George M. Weah a decision which is still in court but on the contrary, it has been alleged that he is the main financier behind the Senatorial bid of Joseph Yarpuyah.
Also in attendance were Madam Dorathy Barcolleh and Emmanuel Yarh representatives hopeful for District # 3 and District # 4 along with Joseph Yarpuyah a senatorial hopeful.
In separate remarks, Madam Barcolleh and Mr. Yarh thank the organizer for such colorful program and automatically pledge membership to the organizer.
Madam Barcolleh give an amount of LD 25,000.00 as an initial of a pledge of LD 50,000.00 while Mr. Yarh gives an initial amount of US$100.00 of a USD 200.00.
Madam Barcolleh and Mr. Yarhn caution the Margibi Muslim Woman Association to make the organization a legal as they cried out for an acre of land and micro finance loan to do business and offer training for members of the organization or other women.
