MONROVIA: The Political Leader of the Liberia National Union (LINU) Dr. Clarence Moniba says if he is elected as President of Liberia in the coming October 10, 2023 Legislative and Presidential elections, he will do all with in his power to transform Liberia into a modern and educated nation.
Dr. Moniba who is the youngest Presidential Aspirant in the coming October 10, 2023 Legislative and Presidential elections noted that, this initiative will flourish the economy to be his top priority which he noted will require a progressive and holistic approach with strong leadership and an undeterred motivation to succeed.
He made the statements on Friday, May 19, 2023, at the Headquarters of LINU, when the Chairman of the Political Science Department of the University of Liberia, Mr. Richmond S.Anderson, officially joined the party.
“At 43, I represent the new generation of Liberians who insists that our nation can, and must do better; I am one of the millions of voices demanding that we must better educate our youth, that we must better care for our sick, and that we must better train our workforce,” he said.
According to him, he represents the millions of young voices who now stand prepared to lead a nation to its full potential, overcoming the status quo to ensure that this current generation succeeds for the betterment of Liberia and its people.
He said Liberians are the absolute last to suffer the indignities of sending their children to dirt-floor classrooms; their sick to un-equipped hospitals; and their families to un-electrified and un-safe communities.
Dr. Dr. Moniba noted that, being the oldest republic on the continent of Africa, yet having one of the youngest populations in the world, the growth of this country will only come through the fundamental change in the leaders we choose.
“There will come a time, in a country’s journey, where it reaches a crossroads: one of progress and true national development – or, one of continued poverty and the status quo of a near failed state,” he said.
He pointed out that, for Liberia, that cross 175 years of independence is here and now for there to be lasting progress, can no longer elect the typical politician where greed, incompetency and self-service is the norm.
“I represent a generational and positive change, where I will prove that through a reformist agenda – accountability, competency, unbiased implementation of the rule of law, and the sustained development for the great people of Liberia – will be achieved,” Dr. Moniba stated.
He is at the same time welcomed Prof. Anderson and his supporters to a new home where everyone is somebody.
Earlier, Mr. Richmond S.Anderson, the chairman of the Political Science Department of the University of Liberia told Dr. Moniba, officials and members, supporters and well-wishers of the Liberian National Union (LINU) that he has come to his new political home with his whole Heart.
Mr. Anderson who is also former Montserrado County Electoral District #12 Representatives said his decision to join the Liberian National Union LINU is based on the party dreams and vision to transform Liberia and their zest to see all Liberians living in a country where’s they will not go to bed hungry and in fear of their Life.
According to him, since he resigned from the Liberty Party in 2017 he decided not to join any political party because many of the big party’s that you see citizens running to are not in the interest of the people who always given them state power.
The University of Liberia Professor who is vying for Montserrado County Electoral the District #12 Representatives seat said for Montserrado County the party can count on him to lead the Montserrado county Campaign team that will bring the needed votes that will make them win the upcoming October 10 election.
Commenting on his plans for the people of his District, he said for the past five years the people of the District had not been represented at the National Legislature only because they elected a Man who does not seek the wellbeing of the District and people.
He added that, during his term there was structure put in place to direct the affairs of the District and its people but the current Lawmaker don’t care about the people and nationally they had been underrepresented.
“During my time as the Representative for Montserrado County electoral District 12th I established a Development Counsel that was there to fluster the development of the District and that helps us a lot that allows us to have many projects that the Citizens can now point to” he said.
He also said his Contribution to the education sector in not only in Liberia but internationally and to prove that he had written a book, it has been registered with the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., of which I was certificated.
“So the book has become an international book and it calls for celebration in Liberia by everyone,” Prof. Anderson said.
He stressed that, out of millions of books, he said his book was placed in the eleventh place in the library and it has motivated him to publish more books.
