The National Chairman of the proposed National Union for Democracy (LNUD) Emmanuel Lomax, has declared that the party’s standard bearer, Prince Johnson will out rightly and will win the country’s presidency come 2011 General and presidential Elections, ruling out the possibility of any second round.
Emmanuel Lomax, a Director General of the General Service Agency (GSA) in the despotic regime of the National Patriotic Party (NPP), is among several NNP Executives that cross over to the Nimba County Senior Senator proposed party.
The former NPP Executive now serving as close aid to senator Prince Johnson, who is also National Chairman of the proposed Liberia National Union for Democracy (LNUD) , appearing on a local radio station yesterday, June 28,2010, said his new boss, Prince Johnson, will win the nation’s highest seat, the presidency, and that there will be no way for any run off election as was done during the 2005 elections, contested between former soccer legend George Weah and now president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
According to Emmanuel Lomax, in the pending 2011 elections, a political party needs to win about 700,000 votes from the registered electoral voters to win the presidency and boasted that his new boss have that number to out rightly win the presidency, vowing that there will be no second round.
Speaking further, Mr. Lomax filibustered that his standard bearer is the most suitable choice for the Liberian people who is capable of providing political direction for the country, and claimed further that he is the alternative for the corrupt and failed regime of the ruling Unity Party.
The National Chairman of the National Union for Democracy disclosed that the proposed political party will shortly meet the requirements of becoming full fledge political party of Liberia, and revealed that the institution has nearly met all of the basic requirements of the Nation Elections Commission(NEC).
The former NPP Executive said his party when accredited by the electoral body ,will need not join or form collaboration with other political parties to remove the ruling Unity Party, promising that that was possible through the ballot box, and said the party has the numerical strengthen to unseat Madam Sirleaf.
“The Liberian people want Senator Prince Johnson to be president of the Republic of Liberia and we are only waiting for the 2011 General Elections for the electoral body to declare him president” he noted.
Narrating further, Emmanuel Lomax maintained that prince Johnson is the choice for the vast majority of the Liberian people across the country who he alleged, are dischanted with the failed and corrupt regime of Ellen and the Unity Party, stressing that they have unanimously decided to vote for the Nimba County senior senator as president of the Republic of Liberia, describing the senator as trustworthy and patriotic and a character who can deliver the country from the corrupt hand of President Sirleaf and the Unity Party.
Commenting on the presidential bid of Senator Prince Johnson, the National Chairman said under the presidency of his party, he said their administration will place the country under the Federal Government where power will be decentralized, resources of the country will be widely used, and that corruption will be number one of the Prince Johnson led government as opposed to the Unitary Government where power is not decentralized and that corruption was the order of the day.
Remarking on the credibility of Senator Prince Johnson to lead the country as the alternative to replacing Madam Sirleaf, Emmanuel Lomax revealed that during the war the Senator discovered the key to the vault of then National Bank of Liberia and when Amos Sawyer became Interim president, he said , Sawyer turned the key over with the amount of 7 Million United States Dollars, something according to him, was an empirical evidence that the senator is trustworthy, and is capable to providing political guidance to the Liberian people as opposed to any other individual wanting to become president of the country.
He commended President Sirleaf for the able leadership she has provided and continues to provide to war wearied Liberians, but called on her to give way to Senator Prince Johnson, stressing that Ellen is too old to lead the country, and if the president is intransigence to yield to the advice, the party has the strength politically to retire her from the presidency through the ballot box.
He said the Liberian people are tired with president Sirleaf and the Unity party who have failed them through bad governance with corruption toping the list, and that they were not prepared to vote for the Unity Party and Ellen for the second time, as doing so would suggest to beg for more suffering.
The chairman of the National Union for Democracy also averred that the proposed party draws its strength from the camp and community of the former fighters and the vast majority of the Liberian people who he said, were suffering across the country due to the poor policy of the UP Government, and that his political institution is the hope and aspiration of the new Liberia that has the road mat to prosperity, economic growth and development, justice and equality, and the rule of law regardless of race, sex and creed.
Due to the numerical strength of the proposed part, Emmanuel Lomax indicated that there will be no room for the party to form merger, coalition or collaboration with any other political groupings during the pending 2011 General elections, and added that the party is one hundred percent sure that political parties will want to join them to unseat the old lady from the Executive Mansion.

Drawing the line in Liberia
Crimes sponsored, committed, or masterminded by handful of individuals cannot be blamed upon an entire nationality. In this case, Liberians! The need for post-war justice is a step toward lasting peace, stability and prosperity for Liberia. Liberia needs a war crimes tribunal or some credible legal forum that is capable of dealing with atrocities perpetrated against defenseless men, women and children during the country's brutal war. Without justice, peace shall remain elusive and investment in Liberia will not produce the intended results. - Bernard Gbayee Goah
Men with unhealthy characters should not champion any noble cause
They pretend to advocate the cause of the people when their deeds in the dark mirror nothing else but EVIL!!
When evil and corrupt men try to champion a cause that is so noble … such cause, how noble it may be, becomes meaningless in the eyes of the people - Bernard Gbayee Goah.

If Liberia must move forward ...
If Liberia must move forward in order to claim its place as a civilized nation amongst world community of nations, come 2017 elections, Liberians must critically review the events of the past with honesty and objectivity. They must make a new commitment to seek lasting solutions. The track records of those who are presenting themselves as candidates for the position of "President of the Republic of Liberia" must be well examined. Liberians must be fair to themselves because results from the 2011 elections will determine the future of Liberia’s unborn generations to come - Bernard Gbayee Goah
Liberia's greatest problem!
While it is true that an individual may be held responsible for corruption and mismanagement of funds in government, the lack of proper system to work with may as well impede the process of ethical, managerial, and financial accountability - Bernard Gbayee Goah
What do I think should be done?
The situation in Liberia is Compound Complex and cannot be fixed unless the entire system of government is reinvented.
Liberia needs a workable but uncompromising system that will make the country an asylum free from abuse, and other forms of corruption.

Any attempt to institute the system mentioned above in the absence of rule of law is meaningless, and more detrimental to Liberia as a whole - Bernard Gbayee Goah
Liberia's Natural Resources
Besides land water and few other resources, most of Liberia’s dependable natural resources are not infinite, they are finite and therefore can be depleted.
Liberia’s gold, diamond, and other natural resources will not always be an available source of revenue generation for its people and its government. The need to invent a system in government that focuses on an alternative income generation method cannot be over emphasized at this point - Bernard Gbayee Goah

Liberia needs a proper system
If Liberians refuse to erect a proper system in place that promotes the minimization of corruption and mismanagement of public funds by government institutions, and individuals, there will come a time when the value of the entire country will be seen as a large valueless land suited on the west coast of Africa with some polluted bodies of waters and nothing else. To have no system in place in any country is to have no respect for rule of law. To have no respect for rule of law is to believe in lawlessness. And where there is lawlessness, there is always corruption - Bernard Gbayee Goah

Solving problems in the absence of war talks
As political instability continues to increase in Africa, it has become abundantly clear that military intervention as a primary remedy to peace is not a durable solution. Such intervention only increases insecurity and massive economic hardship. An existing example which could be a valuable lesson for Liberia is Great Britain, and the US war on terror for the purpose of global security. The use of arms whether in peace keeping, occupation, or invasion as a primary means of solving problem has yield only little results. Military intervention by any country as the only solution to problem solving will result into massive military spending, economic hardship, more fear, and animosity as well as increase insecurity. The alternative is learning how to solve problems in the absence of war talks. The objective of such alternative must be to provide real sustainable human security which cannot be achieved through military arm intervention, or aggression. In order to achieve results that will make the peaceful coexistence of all mankind possible, there must be a common ground for the stories of all sides to be heard. I believe there are always three sides to every story: Their side of the story, Our side of the story, and The truth – Bernard Gbayee Goah
