Several partisans of the main opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) have warned their political leader former President George Weah not to give credence to the communication from the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Recent communication by the Foreign Minister to former President Weah requested him to produce one minute peace video as a means of showcasing Liberia's quest for the non-permanent member seat at the United Nations Security Council.
During the administration of former President Weah, he negotiated for the non-permanent member seat by lobbing with ECOWAS and the United States to endorse Liberia.
With such, the Government of President Joseph Boakai is seeking former President Weah, former President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and her fellow Nobel Laureate, Leymah Gbowee's help to ensure that the country ascend to the seat at the United Nations.
But the CDC partisans who called on Kings FM Radio urged their political leader not to give credence to such request stressing that the Unity Party government disrespected the former President and continues to show ingratitude to the peaceful role the former Liberian President has demonstrated over the years.
According to them, it is because the Unity Party led Government is unable to secure such seat that the former President worked for over the years so that they can get the recognition at the detriment of the efforts of the former Liberian President who the Unity Party Government is doing everything to bring down and make his supporters jobless.
The CDC Partisans further disclosed that the Unity Party Government only recognize the key role that former President Weah has played in maintaining the peace and stability of the country because they cannot achieve such objective at the UN without the intervention of former President Weah.
According to them, if former President Weah accepts to produce the one-minute peace video, it will motivate the UP Government officials to believe that they can instruct former President Weah to do anything in the name of peace and on the other hand, disgrace him politically.
At the same time, Nobel Peal Laureate, Leymah Gbowee has expressed her support for Liberia's bid for a non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
In her response to a communication from the Government of Liberia seeking her support, Madam Gbowee noted, "I am honored to support the Government of Liberia in their bid for a Non-Permanent Seat on the United Nations Security Council.
Gbowee noted that the United Nations played a pivotal role in abating the conflict in Liberia in 2003, a non-permanent Seat on the United Nations Security Council will allow Liberia to continue to make contributions to the legacy of peace and conflict resolution that our nation and citizens have worked tirelessly to cultivate.
Meanwhile, many Liberians have commended Madam Gbowee for accepting the government's request to support Liberia get a seat on the UNSC.
Cheick Ousmane Touré II a Liberian posted that, "Leymah Gbowee Your remarkable contributions have emerged once again as a testament to your enduring commitment to positive change in Mama Liberia.
