Mr. Weah spoke as he continues to receive ovations and commendations from international colleagues over his deportment during the just-end presidential polls at which he conceded defeat in a razor-thin result.
The latest came at a meeting of ECOWAS where leaders rendered him long, deafening applauses for graciously accepting the democratic will of the Liberian people by conceding defeat to his rival, President-Elect, Mr. Joseph Nyumah Boakai.
Nigerian President Mr. Ahmed Bola Tinabu, current Chairman of ECOWAS, hailed President Weahβs demonstration of leadership in the conduct of free, fair, and credible elections.
