Lenn Eugene Nagbe, former campaign chairman for the Coalition for Democratic Change and former president George Weah staunch supporter has disclosed that current Liberian President, Joseph Nyumah Boakai has avoided speaking to his predecessor, George Weah, since taking office.
Nagbe made this statement during an interview on the local radio station OK 99.5 FM on Thursday, June 6, addressing Weah’s denial of using the VIP lounge at Roberts International Airport.
“Weah is a peaceful man, as you all know. As an incumbent at the time, Weah conceded defeat and called to congratulate President Boakai in 2023 as the president-elect,” Nagbe emphasized. This remark highlights Weah’s acceptance of the electoral outcome and his attempt to foster a smooth transition of power.
Despite the peaceful concession, Nagbe pointed out that Boakai has refrained from any direct communication with Weah since assuming the presidency. This avoidance of dialogue between the current and former leaders raises concerns about the state of political harmony in Liberia.
Nagbe also noted that, regardless of the political challenges he faces, George Weah remains committed to peace. “My political godfather, George Weah, will remain peaceful no matter what political temptations he faces,”.
As Liberia navigates its political landscape, the conduct and interaction of its leaders will play a significant role in shaping the nation’s future. The hope is that mutual respect and open communication will prevail for the benefit of all Liberians.
