-Dr. Whapoe predicts incumbent's removal
Presidential aspirant Dr. Jeremiah Z. Whapoe says President George Manneh Weah is seriously worried and has no option because his exit from the Executive Mansion is certain.
The opposition Vision for Liberia Transformation party (VOLT) leader said President Weah will be removed from office through the ballot because he has failed to meet Liberians' expectations.
"Let me tell you the truth, President Weah has no option [for] his exit. This man will be removed from office because he has failed the expectations of the Liberian people," he told citizens in Nimba recently.
Dr. Whapoe told citizens that Mr. Weah will exit the Executive Mansion due to the alleged uncomfortable wave of corruption, bad governance, and mysterious disappearances of peaceful citizens.
The opposition VOLT standard bearer met with a cross session of women groups in Nimba County under the banner Women United for Progress recently.
He told the group that President Weah has performed dismally over the last five years.
Whapoe alleged that President Weah's administration is only known for pain and hardship.
"The only thing this administration will be and can be remembered for is their uncomfortable corruption, massive abuse of power, and ritualistic killing and disappearance of our peaceful citizens," Dr. Whapoe alleged.
He informed the group in Nimba that he has registered to contest for the Liberian presidency again to transform Liberia through agriculture to defeat poverty and corruption. He said he wants all Liberians to become self-reliant.
