In his reaction to the Police enforcement of the eviction of the former ruling party, CDC’s headquarters on Saturday, former Liberian President George Manneh Weah has assured his supporters that plans are underway to construct a new headquarters for the former ruling party.

“We are here to stay. Strong we will always be, because nothing will separate us. It’s a national struggle, and we must continue to fight no matter what. Power to the people.”

Mr. Weah gave the assurance in a statement he made after the eviction and demolition on August 23, 2025.

𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐃𝐂 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 2029 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

Former Liberian President and leader of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), George Weah, has responded to the party’s recent eviction from its headquarters, emphasizing resilience and long-term planning.

In a statement shared with supporters, Weah said:

“Allow the people to do whatever they want with the building. Let us focus on building our new home, recalibrating, and get prepared to take back power in 2029 with no exceptions.”

The eviction followed a Supreme Court ruling that the CDC had no valid lease agreement for the 4.23-acre property it occupied. Authorities have been tasked with enforcing the court’s order, marking a significant legal setback for the party.

Despite the eviction,

Former President Weah unveiled plans for a new CDC headquarters and reassured party members of the party’s ongoing commitment to its mission.

“We are here to stay. Strong we will always be, because nothing will separate us. It’s a national struggle, and we must continue to fight no matter what. Power to the people.”

According to some stalwarts, the CDC’s leadership remains focused on rebuilding and preparing for future electoral challenges, with the 2029 elections in sight. Observers note that the party’s response to this legal setback could shape its political trajectory in the coming years.

On CDC and its Eviction – Betrayal, Neglect, Greed, and Public Disgrace

Martin K. N. Kollie writes…

Sometimes, the truth becomes uncomfortable. But we have to say, no matter whose feathers are ruffled. This piece is intended for all CDCians to take some time off, reflect, and rethink as they ponder over this simple question: Do our “leaders” really care about us and our party?

We love

CDCians because they are our brothers and sisters, but our critical position has been and remains against their so-called, greedy, and corrupt “leaders”. They used/misused our people (CDCians) from 2004 to 2024 only to amass unexplained wealth for themselves.

CDCians have to open their eyes and start holding their “leaders” fully accountable. Here’s what CDCians must ask them henceforth: Why didn’t you build or buy a new headquarters for us since 2016? The truth is that the eviction and demolition did not happen all of a sudden. It did not happen today. The Court ruled in favor of the property owner, Mr. Ebrima Varney Dempster, since 2016. This has been 9 years now.

But here’s the hard truth:

1) George Weah built over 40 condominiums on RIA Highway, rebuilt a private mansion on 9th Street, and built a gigantic Jamaican Lounge on RIA Highway. What did he build for CDC?

2) Clar Weah built a massive privately-owned complex on 15 acres of land in Marshall City, Margibi. What did she build for CDC?

3) Finda Bundoo built at least 3 mansions in Brewerville, RIA Highway, and River Gee including multiple commercial estates and she also bought a fleet of taxis. What did she build for CDC?

4) Samora P. Z. Wolokolie built a skyscraper in Old Road and a few estates around Monrovia. What did he build for CDC?

5) Acarous Moses Gray built a deluxe white mansion with a lavish swimming pool. He also owns a number of housing estates and businesses. What did he build for CDC?

6) Nathaniel McGill built and bought 3 residential mansions in Gbarnga, Bopolu, and RIA Highway. His wife has an entire river resort called VIM Island in Margibi. He even built a small palace for his mother’s grave which is far better than where a lot of CDCians sleep. What did he build for CDC?

7) Samuel D Tweah built a gigantic complex on RIA highway and he owns multiple estates in Ivory Coast. What did he build for CDC?

Jefferson Koijee bought 2 compounds in Sinkor and Kenya including trucks for business. What did he build for CDC?

9) Eugene Lenn Nagbe built a gigantic mansion in Monrovia in less than 6 months while serving as Maritime Boss and secured properties in Ghana. What did he build for CDC?

10) Thomas P. Fallah built a gigantic University, a high school, and multiple stores and estates for commercial purpose(s). He also owns trucks and yellow machines. What did he build for CDC?

11) Saah H. Joseph built a gigantic University and owns a few businesses for himself. What did he build for CDC?

12) Sekou Kalasco built a mansion and a few commercial estates for himself. He also has some trucks. What did he build for CDC?

13) Pepci Yeke built mansions and estates for himself when he served as LACE Boss. What did he build for CDC?

14) Bill Twehway has a gigantic compound on RIA Highway and other commercial assets. What did he build for CDC?

15) Albert Chie has massive mansions in Congo Town and at other locations in Liberia. What did he build for CDC?

16) Bhofal Chambers bought two massive compounds at GSA Road and Rehab Community. What did he buy for CDC?

17) Abu Bana Kamara built multiple skyscrapers, some are in Logan Town. What did he build for CDC?

And the list goes on.

To my brothers and sisters in CDC: Please do NOT allow a few of them who massively benefited from your sweat, tears

, and blood

since 2004 to tell you that “CDC or the Party is in your heart.” This is a farce intended to placate/fool you once more. No party is in your heart. People do not store party documents/records in their hearts. People do not have political rallies and meetings in their hearts. A physical structure (headquarters) is needed. As CDCians, y’all are aging. Remember, y’all are getting older every day. Ask yourselves: What do we have, too, to show for all these years of loyalty, diligence, and hard work (since 2004)?

The truth is that y’all “The Masses” deserve better, too. The masses are not cannon fodders. They borrowed over US$1.3 billion from 2018 to 2023. Ask them: what did they do with it? They could not even transform or change a single slum community; not even West Point, Gibraltar, Soniewein, Doe Community, etc.

The eviction and demolition that took place today have far-reaching impact. It’s already devastating and demotivated a lot of partisans. A lot may defect to different political institutions. CDC cannot be the same anymore no matter what happens. It’s weakened for good. Blame this on Weah and his corrupt cronies who chose to steal and not to serve.

They failed to build an institution. They were more concerned about plastering rented walls with their portraits and photographs. See how their portraits have crumbled in dust and debris. CDCians, they betrayed you; they neglected you. It’s time for you to tell them the bold truth. It can no longer be about “party mandate”.

This is a lesson learned for the U.P. and other political parties in Liberia. Power is transitory and/or temporary. Serve the people and not Self whenever you are privileged to lead. Service and not Self.

I love

y’all (CDCians). You are my brothers and sisters regardless of my critical views of your “leaders”.
