Monrovia- June 29, 2024: yesterday, Even in the face of relentless rain and thunderstorms in Monrovia and surrounding areas, numerous dedicated members and supporters of the main opposition party, the Congress for Democratic Change, gathered to kick off the official opening of the CDC Militants’ Homecoming and Reconciliation Day ceremony.

The passionate supporters of the CDC, adorned in their blue and white attire with matching blue berets, fervently danced, sang, and chanted political slogans to commemorate their impactful political days, particularly at the main headquarters of the CDC in Congo Town.

Delivering brief remarks at the occasion was a Senior Member of the CDC and Speaker of the 55th National Legislature, Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa, stated that no successful revolution ever bypasses a counter-revolution.

He asserts that the Mighty Congress for Democratic Change is currently undergoing a period of counter revolution.

“We must advise our supporters that during the period of the counter-revolution, UNITY is the most crucial aspect of the congress and the party,” he emphasized to his followers.

He stressed that the CDC’s strength unmistakably resides in the unity, unwavering ideology, and relentless forces that have propelled and sustained them in their current position.

“Today, on this memorable day, you have stolen the show. Congratulations and thanks to all of you,” he added.

During the event, Nimba County District #7 Representative Musa H. Bility, a senior member of the opposition, forcefully reiterated the critical necessity for the opposition bloc to unite and seize state power in 2029.

“There will be temptations, but let’s work together and come back stronger,” he emphasized.

Representative Bility lauds Speaker Koffa for his exceptional leadership prowess in the House of Representatives.

The members of the House of Representatives have expressed their confidence in Speaker Koffa’s leadership, mentioning that only a minority of Representatives have the authority to vote for his removal as Speaker.

Representative Bility stated that anyone attempting to disrupt the Legislature would be disrupting the state. He also mentioned that if someone were to fire a shot at the House, they would fire back at the Senate and the Executive Mansion, respectively.

He took advantage of the opportunity to urge the CDC militants to maintain peace and to assert their rights.

“Let’s respect each other’s views and remain in opposition,” he noted.

Chief Cyril Allen, a dedicated member of the CDC, highlighted that the program signifies the birth of a new Liberia. He emphasized the significance of this occasion and praised the devoted and committed CDC members for their commendable efforts.

He emphatically emphasized the claims allegedly made by the ruling party leader to have Speaker Koffa removed, citing a well-known verse from the Bible: “Touch not My Anointed and do My prophets no harm.”

According to Chief Allen, the people of Liberia elected President Boakai to bring about positive change. However, over the last six months, President Boakai has reportedly failed to deliver on his promises.

“President Boakai has surrounded himself with a group of unethical bureaucrats from the old regime,” he emphasized.

Mr. Allen demanded that the Liberian leader do the right thing because the people are suffering and urgently require better leadership and deliverance from his long-awaited government.
