LIBERIA – The Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction (MDR) has questioned the memory of President George Weah, adding that the President has a short memory…
In a statement issued and signed by Kelvin D. J. Mattaldi, vice-Chair for Press and Publicity on Monday, February 6, 2023, said “MDR notes with serious concern denigrating comments made by President George M. Weah at his Forkyklon Jlaleh Family Fellowship on Sunday, February 5, 2023.”
The statement continued: “While delivering his regular Sunday sermon at his Forkyklon Church, President Weah took on the pulpit and referred to our Governing Council Chairman, Sen. Prince Y. Johnson, as a Killer and Blackmailer.
“It is only today that President Weah has to know that Sen. Prince Y. Johnson is a “Killer, Blackmailer, Beggar and Crook”. The comments from President Weah have gone a long way in proving that the president has a short memory span as it was because of Sen. Johnson’s support for “Pastor” Weah and his CDC that landed Sen. Johnson on the sanction list of the United States,” the statement said.
“The MDR refutes this categorization of Senator Johnson in the strongest of terms. The Party hereby uses this medium to remind President Weah that in 2017, Senator Prince Y. Johnson genuinely supported him through the MDR during the runoff election. During this time, the now self-proclaimed Pastor Weah did not know that Sen. Johnson was a killer and a Blackmailer.
The statement said, as a Party, they would’ve thought that President Weah should have launched an immediate investigation into the alleged assassination of the life of our Political Godfather & Founder Nimba County Sen. Prince Y. Johnson.
“Over the years, many have described President Weah as a peaceful person and one who would conduct the affairs of the country inclusively. However, the President’s actions, deeds, and manner of conducting the affairs of the country prove that Mr. Weah is far from being the person he is touted to be by many. During his Sunday sermon, President Weah threatened to dismiss all government officials appointed from the MDR. The MDR is not surprised by said comments as Mr. Weah has proved to be a very vindictive person,” the statement concluded.
