Monrovia – Ahead of President George Weah’s first visit to Lofa County, the former Vice President of Liberia, and a favorite son of the County, Joseph Nyuma Boakai has called on Lofaians to give him a rousing welcome. There have been speculations ahead of President Weah’s much anticipated visit to Lofa that residents of the county have resolved not to welcome him in protest of the government’s abandonment of the Lofa road construction project. President Weah’s trip to Lofa marks the climax of his first nationwide tour which began in February 2021. Since then, the President has travelled in every part of the country, except Lofa, the only county he was outperformed by the former Vice President during the Presidential runoff election in 2017. Amid President Weah’s massive victory in the overall polls, the people of Lofa did not abandon their kinsmen who had served as Vice President for 12 years under former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
