President George Manneh Weah says he is proud of his government’s quantifiable infrastructural development footprints in its four-year stewardship and wondered why some Liberians are blaming his administration for what the country didn’t realize in more than 170 years of existence.
The President made the comments after his crowning as “Father of the Year” on Sunday, June 26, 2022, by the Forky Klon Jlaleh Family Fellowship Church Incorporated in recognition of his “impressive service to God, nation, and humanity spanning several years.”
The President called on Liberians to always demonstrate the spirit of appreciation for whatever service they are provided in pursuit of prosperity and bemoaned unpatriotic acts against the country and people, and chided those calling for sanctions on Liberia to subject Liberians to economic hardships and eventually derail every progress the country has made.
President Weah however urged those wishing evil for the country to transform their sword of hate and destruction into good in the general interest of the people and also called on them to undertake ventures that will complement the Government’s gains, rather than creating conditions that could plunge the country into the whirlpool of socio-economic and political uncertainty.
Meanwhile, he promised more aggressive infrastructural developments in the coming years, mainly in his second term when he gets their mandate again and called on Liberians to demonstrate genuine love and concern for each other by espousing the virtue of humility and service to mankind saying that one of God’s major instructions is for his children to care for each other, particularly the least amongst them.
Recalling his transformation from the squalor of Liberia’s slum to national and international nobility, President Weah sermonized that humility, respect, service to humanity, tolerance, and a good heart for fellow human beings are the best virtues mandated by the Almighty for the whole of the mankind.
The President said that he strongly believes that life is worth its real and genuine meaning when people, mostly those blessed and favored by God, humble them and continue reaching out to those in dire need of help.
According to the Liberian Chief Executive, the provision of service to mankind and humanity must be accompanied by respect for others, understanding, humility, exemplary good behavior and commitment to cause adding that all of these characteristics will impact Liberia very positively as it strives to overcome division, hate and undermining.
He stressed also that humility and service to humanity are important cornerstones in the realization of one’s desires and goals.
The crowned Father of the Year told his congregation that his life; his climbing of the ladder of success, is a classic example of discipline, appreciation, perseverance, and altruism.
The June 26 service was attended by throngs of government officials, friends, and well-wishers at which time the Church recounted the President’s remarkable selfless nature as a humanitarian, father and public servant who rose from a humble beginning.
President Weah’s Christian upbringing, guarded by his grandmother in the slum of Gibraltar apparently propelled and underpinned his generous deportment towards his fellow human beings.
