Joseph Nyumah Boakai as president, saying his leadership is disastrous.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, Brown told journalists that any attempt to elect the Unity Party standard bearer as president would mark the introduction of a disastrous and sleeping leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Brown stated that at this critical juncture, Liberia doesn\u2019t need a sleeping president that will not prioritize the wellbeing of the citizens.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke at a town hall meeting that brought together several citizens from Grand Bassa County representing the Liberty Party, Alternative National Congress and the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP).<\/p>\n<p>He urged citizens and residents of Grand Bassa County to reject Amb. Boakai, referring to the former Liberian vice president as \u201csleeping Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUncle Joe Boakai, one of the oldest and smartest [people], if you tell him hello he will say morning,\u201d Brown alleged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he sees [a] woman, he will call [her a] man. And so, if you have a country like Liberia that\u2019s infected with lots of corruption and bad people who always want to survive in government will you elect a sleeping president? For me, I say big no,\u201d Mr. Brown stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want to elect a man that is very old and does not recognize people, and [doesn\u2019t] take an independent decision?\u201d Brown asked.<\/p>\n<p>He said any attempt to elect Boakai, Liberians will have a country where people will only come and dupe it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have come to let you know that Cummings is the Way forward,\u201d Mr. Brown added.<\/p>\n<p>The eminent son of Grand Bassa County further indicated that Liberia\u2019s problem is not about who has spent 42 years in government or who is the oldest person.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that what Liberia needs is a person who knows how to manage the affairs of the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Liberians need a leader that has corporate leadership skills, and not Amb. Boakai who has worked in almost all of the governments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
