The mainstream opposition Unity Party Political Leader, Joseph Nyumah Boakai has  characterized the October 10 elections as a clear warning  that President  George Weah’s days in office are numbered, and soon, and very soon, the final verdict will be delivered to make him a one-term president.

“As is now evident from the results of the presidential election announced by the electoral management body, the National Elections Commission (NEC), the Liberian people, in their righteous rage, have served President Weah a clear warning that his days in the presidency are numbered and soon, and very soon, the final verdict will be delivered to make President Weah a one-term president,” Boakai told his supporters.

Addressing the media for the first time after  the October 10 elections, Wednesday October  19,  Boakai claimed that they have proven, in a resounding tone, that the people determined to achieve a noble goal can prevail.

He disclosed that despite using millions of dollars obtained from questionable sources and intimidating their  supporters, Weah and his CDC were unable to break the ironclad resolve of the people.

“My fellow Liberians, our country needs to be rescued and then we can embark on getting it fixed. Our country needs to be swept. Our country needs to be redeemed. Our country needs to be healed and reunited. Indeed, our country needs to be rescued. To achieve these lofty goals, as I have always urged, we need all hands on deck. 

“One thing I know very well is that all the talents and ideas we need to rebuild our country cannot be found in a single party, tribe, county, region or religion. That’s why I am committed to forming a government of inclusion when, God willing, we ultimately achieve our grand goal of democratically evicting President Weah from the Executive Mansion in a couple of days and weeks.

“We shall form a government that truly reflects the political, ethnic, regional, and religious, as well as gender diversity of our country. We shall form a government in which the true value of a Liberian is not determined by loyalty to party but by loyalty to country plus the person’s ability and willingness to contribute his or her quota to the country’s progress. We are therefore reaching out to our brothers and sisters in the opposition and Liberians in general to join us in this noble mission of making our country breathe freely again,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile,  he issued a clarion call to his supporters, to summon the patriotic courage rise up once more,  defy any shade of unpleasant weather, endure the long queues in their  respective polling places so as to drop their verdict in the ballot box for the unshackling of their beloved  Country in the upcoming  run off election. 

The UP political leader concluded by saying,  “Together, we can, and we will effectively tackle the KUSH epidemic in our country, invest in health care, education, agriculture and as well spur foreign investment, thereby uplifting our country and saving the future of our young people who have become walking dead-bodies due to the action and inaction of a government that just does not care. 

“And so let us revolt against this sad state of our nation and our existence as a people. I urge all of us to wield our sacred votes to take the destiny of this nation in our own hands. Let us deliver that deadly blow to mediocrity, corruption, ethnic strife, and this absurd approach to governance. Let us deliver Liberia from the crushing jaws of mismanagement and ineptitude. The opportune hour is before us and is ripe.”
