MONROVIA: In continuation of the Weah/Taylor 2023 Reelection Campaign Tour, Bomi County, which is situated in the Western Region of Liberia, on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, was a scene of massive elations as incumbent President George Manneh Weah gave several reasons to citizens of the county relative to why he should be given a second term opportunity for the Liberian Presidency.
The CDC Campaign Team, headed by its National Chairman, Lenn Eugene Nagbe, along with Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor and several top government officials besieged Bomi County to showcase the government’s success since its ascendency to state power on January 22, 2018.
The Campaign Team and President Weah who departed Monrovia in the early hours of Tuesday made their first stop at Po River where he and his campaign entourage were joyously greeted and welcomed by the county authorities, traditional leaders, and thousands of ordinary citizens.
The CDC Campaign Team also made brief stops at Jenneh, Klay, and Guis Towns.
The Team met with, and honored other local officials with a formal indoor program, characterized by political rally, held in Tubmanburg City, the Capital of Bomi County.
Speaking to cross sections of citizens, President Weah thanked Bomi County for standing by him during the 2017 Presidential and Legislative elections.
“Thank you for your support, it is because of you that I am standing here today,” President Weah told the citizens.
The Liberian Leader pleaded with the citizens to give him second six-year constitutional term so as to enable him continue the massive development projects in the country.
The incumbent President bragged that his CDC-led government has made more gains in the areas of road construction, healthcare, education, electricity among others under five years, as compared to the former ruling Unity Party (UP) that governed the country for 12 years without tangible development gains.
According to President Weah, the level of improvement Liberia continues to experience just under five years of his Presidency should be a resounding reason why Bomi County should to give him a second term.
The Liberian Leader cautioned the gathering of citizens to not give any attention to the opposition UP in these elections on grounds that they have nothing tangible to offer as they squandered the twelve years opportunity provided them to serve the nation.
According to President Weah, many of what UP could not achieve in its twelve years of governance have been achieved by the CDC-led government.
He encouraged Bomi citizens to turnout in their numbers on October 10, 2023, to ensure a one-round victory for CDC at the polls.
He cautioned the citizens not to pay heed to naysayers who are doubting the possibility of a one-round victory for CDC at the October polls.
The Liberian Leaders also assured the citizens of free, fair transparent and credible Presidential and Legislative elections.
He cautioned electorate to avoid the temptation of engaging in any acts that have the proclivity to derail the peace and tranquility of the country.
In the same manner, President Weah has openly pledged his support for the reelection bid of incumbent Bomi Senator, Morris Saytumah.
According to President Weah, Senator Sayetumah has always placed county and national interests above self/ or party interest at the National Legislature.
As a former Senator of Montserrado County, President Weah attested to Senator Sayetumah’s commitment to Liberia’s developmental drive, a basis for which he encouraged Bomi citizens to reelect him to the Senate.
Also speaking at the program, Bomi County Senator, Edwin Melvin Snowe, urged the people of Bomi County to give President Weah a resounding YES at the October polls.
According to Senator Snowe, the county stands to benefit from more developmental programs and projects if President Weah is reelected.
He cautioned Bomi citizens to stand united with the ruling CDC at the polls.
