The former Standard Bearer of the Congress for Democratic Change in 2011, Cllr. Winston Tubman has congratulated President-elect George Weah and says he’s ready to give his services if he is asked.
Weah ran on the ticket as running mate to Tubman in the 2011 polls.
Tubman told www.newspublictrust.com that he has visited President-elect Weah purposely to congratulate him and wish him success in his endeavors as President of Liberia.
Prio to joining Liberian politics in recent years, Tubman served as United Nations Secretary General’s Special Representative in Somalia.
In an interview at his law offices in Monrovia on Tuesday, Cllr Tubman said Senator Weah has received his endorsement of the Liberian people as evident by the massive jubilations that followed the announcement of the election results.
Since the 1980 military coup, he went on, he has never seen massive jubilation all around the country as the one that followed the result declaring Senator as President-elect.
He admonished the president-elect to begin the task of reconciling the people who have been divided along political lines and classes.
Tubman encouraged Senator Weah to tap on the massive support he got from the masses and tackle the hardship being experienced by the vast majority of the ordinary people.
He said the expectations of the Liberian people are very high and that the incoming President must be prepared to meet the challenges such of the exchange rate, economic problems and the high cost of living in the country. Report by Augustine Octavius
