Hundreds of supporters in District #17, Montserrado County, gathered at a major rally on Sunday, November 27, 2022 and pledged their unflinching loyalty and solidarity to the 2023 presidential bid of Alexander Cummings, Standard Bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP).
District #17 has registered the highest number of CPP members estimated over 20,000. The gathering on Sunday was the second largest to the “United Grebos for Cummings”, who also pledged support to Mr. Cummings in Clara Town on November 19, 2022.
Cummings and CPP stalwarts were accorded warm welcome and escorted by hundreds of supporters to the Brewerville Football field under the banner of several independent Auxiliaries of the Alternative National Congress, Liberty Party and the CPP.
Auxiliaries included the New Isreal Community, the Noble Women Organization, Destiny Kings and Queens Basketball Association and Royal Legend, District #17 Youths in Support of Cummings, the United Motorcyclists, and Team Albertha District #17, among several other auxiliaries in Brewerville, Montserrado County.
In separate statements of support and solidarity, the spokespersons for the auxiliaries expressed their sincere commitment to ensure the election of Cummings as the next President of Liberia.
They noted with appreciation, the enviable world record and unmatched managerial skills of Cummings as the best amongst the various frontrunners, capable to redeem Liberia from economic dungeon and sad state of affairs.
In response, the CPP Standard Bearer, Cummings, expressed gratitude for the warm reception accorded him and party stalwarts, and assured citizens of his sincere commitment to real change in Liberia.
Cummings vowed to resuscitate the ailing economy, create job opportunities for the thousands of unemployed, especially youths. He promised to stop the squandering of public resources and ensure the restoration of basic social services. The CPP Standard Bearer said upon his election as President, he would work to alleviate the massive suffering and extreme poverty, through creations of jobs and opportunities, empower women through access to business loans, fix the deplorable roads and improve the educational and health care systems.
He urged Liberians nationwide to turn out en mass to register during the Voters Registration process, which is slated to begin December 15, in order to be eligible to vote and ensure Mr. George Weah is a one term President.
Several prominent citizens and aspirants in the district, including Tarta Kaba and Abraham Sessay, spoke at the one-day rally. They promised to jointly work and mobilize support for the election of Cummings as the next President of Liberia.
Meanwhile, earlier, on Sunday, the CPP Standard Bearer pleaded with Churches and Mosques to reawaken their members to spiritual truths against the acts of stealing, the culture of impunity and other negative vices that retard and thwart the progress of any nation.
Cummings said spiritual transformation of the nation is critical as much as Liberians need physical transformation for the creation of jobs, and access to improve social services including good roads, good educational system and health care delivery services for its citizens.
He spoke on Sunday, November 27, when he visited and worshipped at the Words of Faith International Ministries on Duport Road and the Fountain Gates Chapel International Ministries, Old Road in Monrovia. The CPP Standard Bearer said the Church and Mosque play a pivotal role in safeguarding the truths in society and for citizens to live by religious principles, having the fear of God not to steal or engage in acts inimical to the progress of the nation.
In his sermon, the Pastor of Words of Faith International Ministries, Rev. George Davis spoke against the danger of unrestricted freedom, where public officials squandered the wealth of the nation and engaged in misconduct with impunity and without the fear of God.
He cautioned Liberians against the exercise of their freedom to commit and cover up evils, noting that freedom has both reward and consequences and that everyone will be made to account for their stewardship on earth.
Pastor Davis stressed the need for Liberians to exercise self-restriction and manage well their God given freedom and avoid acts that have the propensity to endanger society and deprive others of better life.
He made reference to the enviable corporate world record of Cummings, who he said lived and worked an exemplary life, without any tainted record of corruption or misconduct.
Rev. Davis said he was elated by the visit of Cummings and later offered special prayers of God’s anointing, grace and blessings as he seeks the highest office in Liberia.
The Pastor of the Fountain Gates Chapel International Ministries, Rev. Daniel Johnson expressed solidarity and prayed for God’s blessings upon the CPP Standard Bearer in his quest for the Presidency come 2023.
