In a recent address to the congregation at Forky Klon, President George M. Weah emphasized the paramount importance of preaching peace in Liberia. Acknowledging the significance of religious institutions, he began by expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to gather in the house of the Lord with fellow Liberians.
President Weah asserted that peace is the cornerstone of a thriving nation, emphasizing that without it, the existence of Liberia as a country is at stake. He reiterated his commitment to attending church every Sunday, dispelling the misconception that their presence would lead to an empty congregation. Even in the absence of a large turnout, he emphasized the primary purpose of their visit—to pray for the well-being of the nation.
Reflecting on his life’s calling, President Weah declared himself a man of peace and a leader dedicated to promoting harmony. He shared a poignant moment regarding Liberia’s stance on global issues, revealing that he never voted in the security council for war in Israel. Expressing remorse for the events in Israel, he revealed that Liberia’s representation and decision were manipulated by an individual who changed the document, tarnishing Liberia’s image on the international stage.
President Weah, demonstrating humility, discussed the electoral defeat of the CDC (Coalition for Democratic Change), attributing it to internal issues within his government. He urged fellow CDC members to remain united, emphasizing that regaining power in 2029 requires cohesion and self-reflection. He discouraged causing problems and instead advocated observing the actions of the Unity Party government over the next six years.
In a forward-looking message, President Weah emphasized the need for introspection within the CDC, urging its members to analyze past mistakes and work collectively to rectify them. The President’s call for unity and reflection serves as a guide for the party’s future endeavors, aiming to come back stronger than ever before.
President George M Weah’s words resonate as a plea for national unity, emphasizing the transformative power of peace and the necessity for introspection within political entities. As Liberia navigates its path forward, the President’s call for preaching peace stands as a beacon, guiding the nation toward a future built on harmony, reflection, and collective growth.
