Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Former ruling Unity Party (UP) says it has enlisted Liberia\u2019s former Auditor General John Morlu, II, to lead its campaign fundraising efforts for Amb. Joseph Nyumah Boakai\u2019s presidential bid.<\/p>\n

The Unity Party Campaign said in an update Tuesday, 11 July 2023 that Mr. Morlu will provide financial management insights as a Consultant to the Campaign Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to share an incredible update with you all. We have enlisted the support of former Auditor General John Morlu, II to lead our campaign fundraising efforts and provide financial management insights as a Consultant to the Campaign Committee,\u201d the UP update said.<\/p>\n

The main opposition party said Mr. Morlu\u2019s renowned expertise in combating corruption and his deep understanding of financial management make him an invaluable asset to the UP Campaign Team.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, we will make significant strides towards our shared goals, inspiring trust and confidence in our supporters,\u201d the party said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to have Mr. Morlu on this crucial journey towards a more prosperous Liberia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Boakai, Liberia\u2019s immediate past vice president, is making a second try for the presidency on the Unity Party ticket after he lost to incumbent President George Manneh Weah in the 2017 elections.<\/p>\n

He remains Mr. Weah\u2019s main political rival in the coming October 2023 presidential and legislative elections. The Unity Party has coded its 2023 presidential bid the \u201cRescue Mission,\u201d after accusing the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change of allegedly reversing the country\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n

The UP has asked supporters to donate whatever they gave and rescue the country. In his response to the party\u2019s request, Mr. Morlu has backed the Unity Party campaign efforts, assuring Liberians that they can trust their hard-earned donations will be 100% protected and used for the purpose for<\/p>\n

which they have given them. \u201cWe are raising funding for the following: Campaign Infrastructure, Campaign in all parts of Liberia, Protecting Votes-Poll Watchers and Voter and Roll Monitoring,\u201d he said in a communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet Out the Vote (GOTV); Choose and donate now for Joe Boakai. You can choose to make your donation.\u201d The UP Campaign said donors can choose to make their donations anonymous or public.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn any event, only Joe Boakai will see your donation and thank you for your active support. We do not want to see you unjustly punished by Weah for your right to donate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The party asked donors not to be wary, urging them to be courageous. \u201cFor God\u2019s sake, stand up and do something to rescue Liberia. We ask you [to] donate to Joe Boakai.\u201d Morlu said it is essential to ensure that donations go to a reputable and transparent process like the one the UP has created.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, consider volunteering your time and skills to support the Joe Boakai campaign. You can offer assistance with organizing events, canvassing, vote monitoring, poll watching, phone banking, or providing technical expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Morlu\u2019s statement, relevant government experience counts, adding that real education and proven skills matter. He said Joe Boakai is proven and tested and has enormous integrity and standing.<\/p>\n

Morlu noted that Liberia is headed in the wrong direction, urging Liberians to rescue it with their heart, soul, and donation of their money and time.<\/p>\n
