Monrovia — President George Manneh Weah has heeded the advice of FrontPageAfrica and has written Senate Protemp Albert Chea informing the Senate that he (Weah) is withdrawing the nomination of the National Elections Commission (NEC) Chair-designate, Cllr. A. Ndubusi Nwabudike.

In this newspaper's April 1, 2020 Editorial titled: 'To Avoid The Many Backlashes, Just Withdraw His Nomination, Mr. President', we advise the President to do just what he did today.

In President Weah's withdrawal letter he stated: "Dear Mr. President Pro-Tempore:

I do hereby withdraw nominations for Cllr. A. Ndubusi Nwabudike, Chairman-designate, National Elections Commission and Cllr. Edwin K. Martin, Chairperson-designate, Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission, respectively."

From that Friday, March 20, when the President made the nomination of Cllr. Nwabudike and others known, social media in Liberia went into frenzy. The President's critics, including opposition politicians and others, had called on the President to rescind the nomination of his friend.

The National Elections Commission (NEC) Chair-designate had mainly been singled out by the President's critics and others against his nomination largely because of his nationality. Even though, he (Nwabudike) claims to be a naturalized Liberia, he has Nigerian roots.

His two-day appearances before the Senate's Committee on Autonomous Agencies and Commissions chaired by Sinoe County Senator Milton Teahjay, were marred by performances that were so dismal. Some of have even accused him of being a fraudster.

Before he was nominated for the NEC Chair post, Nwabudike had been the Chairperson of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission. As he was being nominated for the NEC post, he was being replaced by Cllr. Edwin Martin. However, the President has also withdrawn Cllr. Martin's nomination, too, for the post.

It's not clear whether the President wants to maintain Nwabudike in his previous post. But this will be something very dangerous for the President to do taking into accounts all that have transpired over the last few days in the Senate.

It is the boastfulness of the Igbos that usually lead to the downfall of fellow Igbos, a thread was created after his nomination and see Igbos insulting others for not being as strong as the them. Liberians might have seen and read all the nonsense boasting and decided to tell George Weah to drop him which he did.
Na una mouth go kill una las las.

MetaPhysical:


No mind dem!
Na Yoruba people petition Weah to drop Ndubusi.

Na jealousy!!

[s]Ibo has two world bank directors, our son is a Chief Judge of ICC, many elected officials around the world, including US, UK, Canada.The only African ethnic group that can be found anywhere in the world. Our sons are Lieutenants and Colonels in US Army. We created a special reconnaisance group called M-Branch, thr only African indigeneous security intelligence gathering force. Our M-Branch collaborate with CIA and Mossad.

Yoruba cannot stand us. They are jealous[/s].

MetaPhysical:


[s]Na Ibadan peopl write petitio and told Weah to drop our brother Ndubusi.

Jealous people[/s].

junketer:
This is why no black nation will progress. Tribalism and xenophobia will always stand in our way of real progress. Where the white man looks for your competence to do the job the black man looks for your ethnicity first. Shame.

When we try and be our brother's keeper and tell them of their weaknesses, they laugh at us and call it jealousy.

Nigerians have been collecting top post in Liberia since time in memorial with no issues.... But when its their turn see what happens.

Now just to buttress this, see a similar thread on this forum years back, for two "Nigerians" (one Northerner and one Yorubaman) who both were honoured by being the head of the ARMED FORCES in that same "hostile" "ungrateful" Liberia .... pls note the reaction of the respective kinsmen on the thread.

Now compare and contrast to the wonderful respone from our "special" brothers here who did not even allow the ink to dry on their brother's nomination form before they inadvertently settled his case for him

When we try and correct them they will say it is jealousy and only Biafra can solve their problems

chest beating as usual... Yoruba race have seen civilization long ago when your ance.stors were still roaming nacked.nes in the bush of umuahia.

isaacsegun:
