President Weah then asserted that the move by Representative Tokpah further demonstrates the love for his people in Nimba and Liberia in general.
”In my mind, I see no opposition; what I see and is concerned about is governance. Even if you say you’re opposition and because of that you criticize everything government does, and you go about talking; talk because talk is cheap,” Weah intoned.
In a related development; a youthful group under the banner “Progressive Movement for Weah Re-election, has been formed and
Weah promised to see the organizers of the Pro-more Weah in Monrovia.
