Hundreds of supporters and mobilizers from “Friends of Yorfee Movement” across the 15 political subdivision of Liberia recently gathered in Paynesville to finalize action plan to officially petition Cllr. Luther N. Yorfee to contest as President in the 2023 General and Presidential Elections.
The gathering of “Friends of Yorfee Movement” program brought together individuals from various political, social, economic and ethnic background and was intended to petition Cllr. Luther N. Yorfee to contest as President of Liberia in the 2023 presidential race.
The program was also part of a strategic meeting to lend grass root support to Cllr. Yorfee, Founding Chairman of the proposed Liberia Rebuilding Party (REBUILDERS).
During the event, an agenda was adopted with supporters and mobilizers pledging their support and commitment to work in line with the proposed Liberia Rebuilding Party’s motto: “Rain or Shine, Rebuild Liberia.”
Mentioning also that “Friends of Yorfee,” was a populace movement seeking to embark on a vigorous nationwide recruitment exercise with a view of promoting their party’s agenda to win popular support through elections.
Chairman Yorfee extended thanks and gratitude to all supporters who took time off their busy schedule to form part of the occasion, stressing, “If we have achieved anything, it’s the hundreds of supporters who have gathered here today to grace this all important occasion which gives us the impetus to realize that the Liberian people are deeply committed to this cause.”
The organizing Chairman of the Proposed Liberia Rebuilding Party also expressed thanks and gratitude to Dr. Kamara of Pilgrim Adventist Church in Philadelphia USA who established the initial contact with him.
Mentioning that it was in June 2019 when he received a call from Dr. Kamara informing him that a few group of individuals in the United States have decided to organize themselves for the purpose of supporting a candidate to contest for the Presidency of Liberia.
Chairman Yorfee noted that he received the message with surprise, stressing. “For the record I have never been a politician before. Dr. Kamara was one of those who got me to agree to organize the proposed Liberia Rebuilding Party.”
Adding that the intention of the group was to work with potential Liberians on the ground to recommend someone with credible track record, rather than endorsing the traditional politicians that have kept the country backward.
He indicated that he accepted to take on the task because he believes that so much changes were needed in Liberia, and that living standard in Liberia is now worst as compared to 7 years ago.
“Are we better than we were seven years ago? They are all birds of the same feathers flocking together because they have the same feathers,” Luther intimated.
