Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Zahn Duo Town, District Number 8, Nimba County \u2013 High powered delegation from the Citizens Movement For Change ( CMC) concluded a three-day tour of District Number 8, Nimba County on Friday, April 24, drawing enthusiastic crowds and highlighting pressing community needs like roads, rural electrification and women\u2019s empowerment.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists after visiting Lesson, LAO, Gbannah, Gbehyi and Zahn Chiefdoms, former Nimba County District Number 8 Representative Larry P. Youngquoi, who is now a key CMC figure, thanked the media for coverage of the long-awaited event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m highly impressed by the manner in which the visitation was conducted and we are getting what we really anticipated for our people,\u201d he said. Residents top demands, he noted, center on infrastructure and economic support.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The overriding needs of our people are roads and rural electrification, especially solar lights in respective towns,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe electricity running along the track doesn\u2019t reach communities. They also need to empower our women through village savings and loans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former District Number 8 Representative Larry P. Younquoi<\/p>\n

The tour\u2019s intent was two-fold: introduce the Political leader of the Citizens Movement For Change (CMC) led by Representative Musa Hassan Bility to voters and rally support for former District Number 8 Representative Larry P. Younquoi, a son of the District who recently joined the CMC.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I come from this district, I needed to go through the nooks and crannies to let my people know their former leader remains a citizen of District #8,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom Gbannah, Gbehyi, LAO, Zahn and Lesson Chiefdoms. The message has gone across. I\u2019m very happy,\u201d clarifying his political history, he dispelled rumors of Congress For Democratic Change(CDC) affiliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cDays ago, I supported CDC in a runoff, but actually, I\u2019m a member of the CPP. I just loaned support to help them win,\u201d he stated. The former District Number 8 lawmaker confirmed resigning from the Alternative National Congress(ANC) before joining CMC.<\/p>\n

Looking to 2029, he affirmed ambitions to return as representative. \u201cObviously yes. If God blesses me to remain alive, we\u2019re going there big time not to pinch, but to win,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
