MONROVIA – The Liberian People Party’s (LPP) recently elected standard bearer, Cllr. Taiwan Saye Gonglee has disagreed with the plea from Madam Leymah Gbowee for a United opposition. He claims that she made the statement because he was afraid of Liberian voters for President Weah 2023. Something he terms as a “national suicide”.
Cllr. Cllr.
He said that he had not been contacted to run mate any of the candidates, but could open up to future talks with other Presidential Candidates and their parties. He stressed that he prefers a partnership that will work for the best interests of Liberia, and not one that is based on sharing ministries.
“Sometimes coming together can be oil and water mixed so let’s be careful,” he said.
In his words, President George Weah’s government has failed in growing the economy of Liberia and believes that corruption is the cause of Liberia’s underdevelopment.
He stated that his defeat in the elections was not due to any change and that the people are becoming poorer every day. Cllr. Gongloe stated that the election would not be about the Love Liberians’ vote for president Weah, but about his first term performance, the messengers and their messages.
“ Liberians don’t want to see George Weah again, he’s not the same popular George Weah anymore. Under President George Weah, Liberia is in the ICU and any attempt to vote him into power will mean committing a National suicide”. He claimed.
Addressing President George Weah as a “functionally illiterate “, Cllr. Gongloe called Liberians out for voting in president Weah’s 2017 election, claiming that he had never had the experience necessary to lead the country. This is why Liberia is where they are today. He warned citizens to not make the same mistake in 2023 as they did in 2017.
He said that Liberia has the potential to be a nation of great leaders, but it is not blessed. This is why he wants to lead the country and serve as “ project manager” through the presidency” but clearly stated that he’s not a job seeker nor in a journey to gain popularity.
Cllr. Gongloe said that he’s well known in Nimba and the people are excited that he has chosen to join the presidential race but said he should not be restricted to only his county because he’s a poor man lawyer that has received the support of citizens all over the country.
He assured Liberians his government would be a service place and not steal when elected. Officials caught in corruption will be immediately dismissed and prosecuted.
