Former Liberian President George Manneh Weah has returned to his country after a one month and five day family vacation. He arrived at the Roberts International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, February 27, 2024, dressed in a white suit, and was warmly welcomed by a crowd of cheerful Liberians.
In his address to his supporters at the airport, Mr. Weah expressed his happiness at being back home after a successful vacation with his family. He also briefly spoke to the press, indicating his readiness to address the challenges facing Liberian society.
His return is expected to add fuel to the ongoing political debate surrounding the controversial tenure saga and the new government of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai. Mr. Weah stated that he is back to focus on his party work and strengthen his political institution.
During his vacation, Mr. Weah enjoyed quality family time with his son, Timothy Weah, who is a professional footballer playing for Juventus in Torino, Italy. He shared that they played games and had a memorable time together, reconnecting after many years apart due to his presidential duties.
Although Mr. Weah did not specify the exact issues he plans to address in the coming days, weeks, and months, his return signals a potential increase in political activity and discourse in Liberia. The recent closure of the University of Liberia and the tenure officials saga have already heightened tensions in the country’s political landscape.
Mr. Weah also acknowledged the awards he has received over the years for his dedicated work for the people of Liberia. He expressed gratitude for the recognition and emphasized his commitment to continue serving his country and the global community.
As Mr. Weah returns to work for his party, the Coalition for Democratic Change, Liberia can expect a resurgence of political activity at the party’s headquarters. With his intention to address societal issues and strengthen his party’s position, the political climate in Liberia is likely to become more intense in the days ahead.
Overall, Mr. Weah’s return signifies a new chapter in Liberian politics, with potential for increased dialogue, debate, and action on pressing issues facing the country. As he reengages with his political party and prepares to address societal challenges, the future of Liberia’s political landscape remains uncertain but full of potential for positive change and progress.
