If it is the will if the Unity State people than Gov. Taban Deng needs to look for another job or declare his candidancy for the governorship but the will of the people need to be respected. If he losses this time then Kiir can not impose him on the governor seat.
But I would encourage the idea to make him the Vice president of GOSS and through out Riek Machar. This is just my idea.

Great news go on Unity. I think Doctors are always genius people to lead like how South is lead by Dr Lam Akol our lucky winnder in the supreme court. Good lack I hope you will make it happen. Is dr Joseph Wejang a dinkas or nuer?
Message to disadvantage dinka kids on this forum who get aggressive easily when their sewage ideas are defeated. Is that let them stop vomitting your raw milk without realising the smell and crying when people are criticising Kiir himself alone, Kiir can be criticised without linking him to his tribe or background. But in some case connecting him to his background will enchance the actually meaning of the logic, just like how blacks in America are still linked back to Africa because everyone knows that the black gene orignited from Africa. The same that the culture of GOSS has a great link to the leadership and its background. Any leader particularly poiliticans can be cricised. Kiir, Igga, Riek and Amum can be called dog, hyena, lion, Slave, monkey and many more. Not just for being politicans but also they are public servants. To prove this jump on vewvision and you will see horrible cartoons and words been used aganist Museveni. The same thing is happening in USA, NewYorkTime. Obama is been called nigga, slave, blackdog, blackgovernment but anyone is not concern since the words are been used in political manner to damage his individual image and influence others.

Don’t worry Taban,
U will still be a minister in the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS). If u fight back now, maybe people may make fan of u as a loser but u are not a loser in the minds of south sudanese who have been following ur political participation. Long live Deng Gai!!! Long live Unity state!!!!

Cngratulation Dr. Manytuil Wijang
It is time for you to step up and take back the Unity State from Dinkas Ideologies leadership.
Taban Deng Gai who converted himself to Dinka tribe must go in 2010 electtion. Taban Deng Gai always acting like cowardice of Dinka Bors.
He was the one who planned an attack againts LT. General Paulino Matip’s bodyguards last three months a go, that cliamed the lives of more than 15 people including a woman and a child.
We will never never forget them, until they pay the big price back.
I think it is time for Jonglei State Govewrnor to go too in 2010. There are many edicated men and women who are capable to lead the Jonglei State better than Kuol Manyang and I do not know what they are waiting for.
For example, Robecca Nyadeng Garang, Robecca Nyadak Paul,John Luke Jock Kuony War Joak,Gabriel Yoal Dok, Simon Gatwech Dual Hoth. Taban Juch, James Kok Ruei and Ben Marial Benjimen.
Thank you all
I am Controller with the Prophert

To all Nuer
It’s not time for Taban Deng to compete with Non-liberators (Nyagatin)who did not participated in the the war,there is posibility of going back to war and it is not all persons who were born with spirirt of nationalism.So i urge the SPLM leadership to give chances only to those who fought the war minus those who came from exiles like Dr Joseph Manytuil,they will get their chance after referrendum.
