-Ex-Lawmaker, Sando D. Johnson, of CMC

Former Bomi County Senator and stalwart of the former ruling National Patriotic Party, Sando Dazo Johnson, has honestly admitted that although he is a full-flesh and registered member of the Citizens Movement for Change, CMC, of Nimba County lawmaker, Musa Hassan Bility, President Joseph N. Boakai still compensates him.

Mr. Johnson told the evening  talk show, ‘Night Time Heat’ on Prime FM Radio during the weekend that the monthly compensation he still receives from President Boakai is in reciprocation of his time, energy and resources he spent during the 2023 presidential elections campaign to help bring the UP to power.

“At no time have I ever thought to join the Unity Party because some folks in the Party have shown me and others ingratitude in spite of our efforts that helped brought them back to power,” Mr. Johnson said with frustration.

Johnson said he was even more disappointed when the National Chairman of the Unity Party, Rev. Dr. Luther Tarpeh, referred to many of us that help to bring the Party to power as helping verbs. “He apologized to me and others when we expressed our disappointment by his remarks, but for me, I did not accept his apology,” Sando Johnson also said.

Asked about reports that he had brought him some investors to invest in Liberia, Johnson again said he felt betrayed by some officials of the Unity Party, who he said allegedly caused the people he had brought into to invest to leave, thwarting his expectation.

“I felt betrayed by the UP, especially some of its officials of the government, for the manner and form in which my investors left the Country,” the former Bomi County Senator, noted.

Also quizzed about his reported intention to again contest a seat for Bomi County in the pending 2029 legislative and presidential elections and whether he can win without the support of the Unity Party, Mr. Johnson confirmed the reports, but said he does not need the support of the ruling party to win in the County.

“I don’t need the Unity Party to win in Bomi,” Johnson emphatically said.

He represented Bomi in the National Legislature during the late 1990s and early 2000 before he lost to current Senator, Edwin Melvin Snowe, in the County.
