A group of student under the banner “Concern Nimba Universities Student” says they are condemning and garbaging recent statement made by their County Junior Senator, Adolphus Dolo against his colleague to the National Legislature, Senator Prince Johnson.

The group through it spokesman, Victor Kpaseh, said they were cautioning senator Dolo alone with eight others lawmaker from the County, who, the students claimed have already crossed to the ruling Unity Party, to immediately withdraw or retract their statement and at the same time do away with what they called the name of lawmaker Johnson as a conduit or scale goat in pursuing their bid for re-election, by misleading some of the citizens in the County to forcibly petition Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for the second term.

The student group in a press release issued Yesterday, to the Analyst, said they were concerned that Senator Dolo, in this new political and democratic dispensation could dream of making a great mistake ever in his life by preaching high level of divisive politic among Nimbains, especially against Senator Johnson who, according to them, is loved by everyone in the County.

At the same time the group which is comprise of men and women from diverse disciplines and who are also from a cross section of Universities in Liberia, noted that they would remain very focus and concern in respecting the propose for which the Peace Tree was planted in the County during the July 26, Independence Day celebration in Sanniquellie, the capital city of Nimba County.

Quoting the July 26, celebration theme “Dialogue is the way forward” the student’s group stressed that they were wondering how, Nimba County Junior Senator, would reconcile what they termed as his destructive statement to that of the covenant signed during the planting of the Peace Tree.

According to the release, the student’s group claimed that for them, to prove that Senator Dolo was inconsistent and incompatible, he (Senator Dolo) misled the Nimba citizens, informing them that the Zoe-Geh medical centre, which according to them, was built by Peter Weato, who they said is a son of that soil in Yao Glaley, was built by President Sirleaf. The action of the lawmaker to misinform the public, they students noted is highly untrue and counterproductive to the people of the areas.

Meanwhile, the student’s group has warned citizen of Nimba County, not to listen to Senator Dolo, who they claimed has given his farewell treat to serve as campaign manager for the ruling Unity Party. And at the same time he (Dolo) requesting them (Nimba Citizen) to put all of their eggs into one basket during the 2011 election, which they say has been demonstrated by the eight lawmakers, considering

Senator Johnson as an opposition, the group noted is frustrating and inconsiderable to the peace and tranquility in the Country.

In a swift contrast, Mr. Kpaseh who is the group spokesperson stressed that Senator Johnson is not considered as been described by those he called “certified bell driven and evil geniuses” who he claimed are doing everything to ensure that they and their political god mother who’s named they did not mentioned, are re-elected to power.

“Senator Johnson is a road model, liberator and the pride of Nimba as well as the society at large.” The group concluded.
