It is common knowledge that minions of the Unity Party and their handlers in Monrovia have a vested interest in destroying the very credibility of Mr Weah and to a large extent the CDC as an organization.
We can all wonder WHAT the alleged arrest of a FRIEND of Mr Weah has got to do with Mr Weah himself ! Are the detractors now saying that Mr Weah and the CDC should perform rigorous BACKGROUND CHECKS on everyone that Mr Weah meets ?
I can imagine the hues and cries and the level of angst(s) that will be directed at Mr Weah, who is obviously a people person if he decides to robustly scrutinize the people he meets.
We ALL are NOT responsible for the actions of our friends and acquaintances. What they do should be for THEMSELVES to explain.
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf is on record saying she met Charles Taylor, a VICIOUS murderer of THOUSANDS, and even gave him $10,000.
Her backers see NOTHING wrong with her association with such a villain.
While we would advocate for some level of due diligence to be applied in Mr Weah's process of association, we will in no way try to LIMIT and or restrict his association with the people.
This EMPTY story is obviously meant to dent the very good news coming out of Minneapolis, Minnesota after the recent "very successful" CDC-USA convention.
While it is a know FACT that Mr Weah has NO credibility issues, we have witnessed, in the recent weeks relentless attacks on his credibility and that of the CDC as an institution - ALL of the attacks have so far FALLEN FLAT due to lack of substance(s).
Remember the “deal with Ellen regarding 2011” ? Remember the CDC secretary general travel with Ellen to the USA saga ? Now we have the “drug dealer connection” only heaven knows what else is coming down the turnpike !
If the CDC’s detractors are happy with the status quo in Liberian I wish them well, but they should know that there are other Liberians who believe they could do a better job and improve the lot of our people.
No amount of intimidation, harassments and flagrant assassination of character will deter us from our goals !
In the cause of the people, the STRUGGLE continues !
