George Weah back to The Synagogue to give thanks

Like the parable of the 10 lepers, Liberian President-elect, George Weah is choosing to be the one who came back to give thanks.

He is set to pay another visit to The Synagogue Church of All Nations to give thanks to God for his victory at the polls.

Weah, a former footballer, won the decisive run-off elections in Liberia in December 2017 while contesting alongside current Vice President, Joseph Boakai.

It will be recalled that the 51-year old President-elect had visited the church and had attended one of the church’s Sunday service accompanied by former Liberian Warlord and presently a Senator in that country, Prince Yormie Johnson in October, last year.

Weah’s visit to the Synagogue was said to have been facilitated by Johnson who was a member of the church during his stay in Nigeria.

“My brother is here today because he loves his country. He is not here to impose himself. What does God say about his country, Liberia? What is God’s opinion? That is why he is here,” controversial overseer and prophet, TB Joshua has said during his visit.

“We are not herbalists or witch doctors, we are people of God. God’s choice is our choice. We cannot pray against God’s will,” Prophet Joshua said.

Weah is said to have had a special session with the founder of the Synagogue who assured him of victory in the December 26 run-off election.

In the result released shortly after the election, Liberia’s National Election Commission (NEC) said Weah had polled 61.5 percent while his opponent polled 38.5 percent of the total 98.1 declared.

The president-elect had topped the first round of voting in October, last year with 38.4 percent of the votes but was unable to win 50 percent necessary to avoid a runoff. Boakai came second with 28.8 percent.

We are looking forward to a great 2018 and great news from around the continent as well. Happy new year:
