Amidst sorrow over the recent loss of their lawmaker, citizens of Gbarpolu County have reaffirmed their unflinching support to the presidential bid of the Standard Bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties, (CPP), Alexander Cummings. They have passionately appealed to him to fix the disastrous road condition and build a vocational school in their county.
Cummings visited Gbarpolu County, Tuesday, September 11, and was accorded a rousing and traditional welcome in Sawmill, Gbarma and Bobolu cities by hundreds of jubilant citizens and masked dancers.
In the three districts, Gbarpolu citizens presented white chicken and kola nuts to the CPP Standard Bearer, indicative of purity of heart and reaffirmation of their continued support to the CPP, which the late Gbarpolu County Senator, Daniel Naatehn, served as National Vice Chairman.
Senator Naatehn died August 8 in India, where he had gone for medical treatment following a brief illness.
Cummings paid homage to the late Senator, whom he described as a friend, brother and colleague, and said he will long be remembered for his sacrificial services and significant contributions to the ANC/CPP and Liberia, including Gbarpolu.
At separate in-door program organized by citizens in Gbarma and Bobolu, and attended by hundreds of citizens including Chiefs, elders, youth and women groups, the Motorcyclists Association and inter-religious groups, the citizens reaffirmed their support and vowed to vote Cummings as the next President of Liberia.
The CPP Standard Bearer expressed gratitude to citizens of Gbarpolu for the warm reception and massive turnout in the towns visited, with the assurance that upon his ascendancy as President he will alleviate the suffering and extreme poverty in Liberia.
Cummings vowed to fix the deplorable road condition, improve the health and educational systems, and establish a micro-loan scheme for Liberian entrepreneurs, including market women, to sustain and grow their businesses.
He said the CPP government will revive the ailing economy, transform the lives of Liberians and create massive job opportunities for the thousands of unemployed Liberians.
Cummings appealed to Gbarpolu County citizens to retrospect on the good work of their late Senator Naatehn and remain committed and steadfast in their support for the presidential bid of the CPP.
