Africa-Press – Liberia. Cece United, one of the newly admitted clubs during the November Ordinary Congress, has joined several clubs to officially endorse the 2nd term bid of Liberia Football Association (LFA) incumbent, Mustapha Raji. The LFA is expected to hold its Elective Congress in April of this year with President Raji seeking a second term.
The club, in its official endorsement statement read by the Vice President of Administration, Mohammed Bamba Jr, said Cece United Football Academy’s decision to endorse Mr. Raji “is predicated on the progressive leadership exhibited by Mr. Raji, since his ascendency to the highest position of the Liberia football house. His valuable contributions to the growth and development of football in our country are unprecedented.
“The visible impacts made so far by the LFA under the stewardship of Mr. Raji across various domains of the footballing sector, ranging from grassroots, women’s football, infrastructure and academics, among others, are something that we at Cece United see as a golden opportunity that doesn’t need to change, but improvement upon.”
Additionally, Mr. Raji and his administration have initiated the necessary structural changes at the LFA to effectively and efficiently run the daily operations of the institution, where transparency, accountability, and integrity are the hallmark of the LFA.
“This is greatly backed by the lifting of financial sanctions, clearance of financial malpractice after several audits conducted by FIFA auditors, and the numerous gestures and support from the Government, other Member Associations and partners,” the club said in the statement.
The club said it had a long working relationship with Mr. Raji long before his ascendancy to the top seat of the LFA. “He is such a progressive leader, and we believe that not giving him another chance to roll out the next phase of developments carried out so far during his first term will be unjust.
As we all continue to strive to rebrand Liberia football, re-electing Raji is the best choice we can make in the interest of our beloved game, football, so that we can be on par with others,” the statement concluded. This brings to 13 the total number of voting clubs that have endorsed the second term bid of President Raji.
