Africa-Press – Liberia. Former Liberian President George Weah has fiercely addressed his critics, many of whom have publicly questioned his current health and speculated that his political career has come to an end.
Speaking on Sunday at the 18th Annual Convention and Bishopric Consecration of Faith Life Ministries International, Mr. Weah warned those opposed to him and his possible return to state power. “Do not swear yourself for me, because I have God, and nothing can come against me,” Mr. Weah said.
He spoke of his faith in God and the challenges he has overcome, emphasizing that even with a broken leg, he has always emerged victorious, making worry unnecessary.
“Do not worry when you have God; he inspires Liberians,” he continued, “because some of us have God and believe in Jesus. We broke our legs, our shoulders, our hands, and our teeth playing ball, and we took the ultimate prize. We became giants of the game we played, so do not worry,” Mr. Weah admonishes.
“Even with a broken leg, I can still be the best player for years to come,” he reiterated.
Weah has expressed optimism that he will return to the presidency despite the obstacles, warning those opposed to him.
“Do not swear yourself for me, because everyone who comes against me and says he will not make it, if it happens, let me die, has died. So don’t be like them,” Mr. Weah warned.
Weah described himself as resilient, strong, and guided by conviction, citing God as his source of strength in overcoming obstacles.
Weah admonished citizens to be positive and objective despite the hurdles, and with that, there is better growth and societal change.
The political leader of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) also rallied for peace and reconciliation as the best way to move Liberia forward.
He denounced political intolerance, particularly condemning those in power who use party affiliations to divide citizens.
“Let us not hate each other because of colors or because of what we believe.” Let us do things for God’s sake, whether you are a Unity partisan or a CDCian, Mr. Weah stressed.
Weah reminded the congregation that during his presidency, political differences did not determine who deserved help.
“We are all one, people. Let us do things for God’s sake; if I am George Weah, if I run into you, give me food, and do not allow colors to divide us.” Mr. Weah added.
Meanwhile, rumors regarding Mr. Weah’s health and reduced public appearances have circulated, but the former president has denied any health issues, attributing his well-being to “good genetics.”
