In spite of these barraged allegations levied against him, Boakai did not rain insults, attack, or provide a detailed response to the allegations made by Henry Costa instead, the elderly state man cautioned his partisans, supporters, and well-wishers to focus on unseating the Weah administration which he termed as a nightmare.

"I advise all to focus our attention on the mission to remove the nightmare we have presiding over our country. Let's Think Liberia, Love Liberia, and Build Liberia," Boakai furthered.
