In continuation of the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) Election Mediation Mission to Liberia’s last general elections, the head of the group, former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan returned to Monrovia recently to meet with His Excellency President George Weah and the President-Elect His Excellency Joseph Boakai, as they begin processes for a peaceful power transition.
He disclosed that his consultations with both of them was quite reassuring, and further noted that he is pleased with their sense of co-operation, purpose and patriotism as well as their determination to rally all Liberians to work for the unity, peace and progress of the country.
Stressing further, the former Nigerian President said, “I believe all of West Africa has something to learn from Liberian’s elections, especially with President Weah’s selflessness in calling to concede and congratulate the President-Elect and the demonstrated commitment of all stakeholders to put the interest of the country above personal or party considerations”.
