Monrovia-On Tuesday of last week, Mr. Emmanuel Lomax’s, the man who headed the Friends of Urey, a group seeking to ensure the election of Benoni Urey as the next President of Liberia, relationship turned sour with the parties separating through harsh word of words.
At a Press conference Lomax could not clearly respond to the questions from journalists about his next destination. FrontPageAfrica has reliable learnt from ranking members of the Alternative National Congress (ANC) that Mr. Lomax is on his way to their party.
At the News conference Lomax also announced the dissolution of the Friends of Urey Humanitarian and Education Foundation where he (Lomax) served as founding chairman as well.
Lomax said the lack of support and cooperation, the inconsistency and deceitful posture of Mr. Benoni Urey in empowering the organization to deliver on its four formation pillars, among giving micro-loans to marketers across the country.
The ALP Chairman emeritus noted that Urey lied to Liberians that he was giving motorbikes to motorcyclists under a 50% subsidized arrangement, granting scholarships to deserving students in the 15 counties and implementing strategic community development projects in the country.
In response to the resignation of Lomax in a statement under the signature of the party’s newly elected chairman J.S.B. Theodore Momo, Jr. described Lomax resignation as a flight from justice.
“Truth, Mr. Lomax’s resignation, is a flight from justice, stemming from his fear of an intensive ongoing investigation based on numerous complaints emanating from citizens in all of the counties, in which he is the central mastermind of a rice scandal, ID Card fraud, and the embezzlement of funds totaling over hundred fifty thousand united states dollars,” the statement indicated.
According to the statement, the investigation was commissioned by Mr. Benoni W. Urey, Political Leader of the All Liberian Party due to his zero tolerance on corruption.
