Mr. Cummings also used the occasion to also reassure Liberians that he will work with everyone for real change beyond tribes, religion, gender and political parties, adding that Truly, Liberia deserves better and Liberians deserve better.
Meanwhile, after announcing the campaign team, Amb. Lewis Brown a member of the team in an acceptance address on behalf of the team expressed excitement and appreciation to Mr. Cummings for appointing them on his initial campaign team.
"This is a happy day. Every journey begins with a first step. Mr. incoming President, we take the challenge you have given to us to rescue our country from the hands of a leader who is bagging to offload the responsibility of the president of the republic. Today, too many are ready, too many are disappointed because the president does not appear to be connected to the everyday condition of the hardship of our people. We will end all of this in 2023" he noted.
Mr. Brown noted that enough is enough, therefore, it's time to embrace real change and work with Mr. Cummings to change the country that President Weah's government had made a laughing stock in the international and diplomatic space.
