Another Nimba County lawmaker has openly called on his kinsman Prince Johnson to abandon his Presidential bid by not contesting the 2011 elections.

Representative Francis Karway said Senator Prince Johnson must wait for the 2018 elections before getting in the race to become Liberia’s next President.

According to him, majority of Nimba citizens are resolved to vote against Senator Johnson in support of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.

The comment by lawmaker Karway comes days after Nimba junior Senator Adolphus Dolo said Senator Johnson was not politically matured to run in 2011.

Representative Karway said his comment does not however mean Senator Prince Johnson is not a good Presidential material.

According to him, Senator Johnson is a good son of Nimba who has the right to contest for any elected position.

Representative Karway spoke to reporters while commending government for successfully hosting the July 26 Independence Day celebrations in Nimba County.
