—Vows to ensure safety for all
—- The Government of Liberia condemns recent irresponsible and inflammatory statement made by Bomi County Senator Edwin Snowe, who is also a member of the ECOWAS Parliament, in which he vowed to use his connections at the sub-regional body, ECOWAS, to ensure the failure of the Government of Liberia led by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr.
Mr. Snowe declared that he would โdo everything possible including using his connections in ECOWAS to make the Boakai-led government to fail, even if it means discouraging foreign direct investment to Liberia and making the country ungovernable and unstable until he, Snowe, becomes President of Liberiaโ.
The Government of Liberia reminds Mr. Snowe and other officials, who may hold similar thought, that no citizen is licensed to undermine his/her own country and government by vowing to use ECOWAS internal institutions or other international organizations to either promote their selfish ambitions or plot destabilization.
The Government of Liberia calls on all sub-regional, regional and international organizations to ensure that such plan by Mr. Snowe and his collaborators to undermine and destabilize the Liberian Government is not actualized.
Liberia continues to remain a champion of peace, security and economic integration within the Mano River Union (MRU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), African Union (AU) and the broader international system.
The Government assures the citizens of Liberia that it has the capacity to, at all times, meet its obligations to the Liberian people and will do all it can to succeed, keep the country safe, ensure stability and prevent those wishing to cause chaos from achieving their intentions.
The Government concludes by urging the Liberian people to work continuously with and lend support to their government to meet their needs, and build a prosperous nation.
