Mayor Koijee Woos Lofians to President Weah’s Sprawling Development

(Voinjama, Lofa County): Monrovia City Mayor Jefferson T. Koijee who arrived in Lofa County ahead of President Weah, has attracted the people of Lofa County to the president’s development initiatives.

Mayor Koijee and entourage Thursday, June 3, 2021 entered Lofa County to tsunamic welcome by citizens and residents who lined and spread lappas, waived placards, handkerchiefs, flags, and banners from the border with Bong County to Salayea in Lofa County.

As he goes deeper into Lofa County, Mayor Koijee is not just encouraging the people of Lofa to continue to give support to President Weah and his government, but is also focusing on impacting the lives of the people of Lofa County, mostly the youths.

While touring Salayea District, throngs of Lofians appealed to Mayor Koijee to consider having a meeting with them at their already constructed youth center in the district. Upon his consent to hear from and speak to the people, the young mayor and entourage matched to the youth center.

During the meeting at the youth center in Salayea District, Lofa County, the young people appealed to Mayor Koijee to consider furnishing the youth center.

Mayor Koijee reminded Lofians that President Weah holds a natural love for Lofa and it’s citizens. He said the president has sent a proposal to Lofa and awaits her response. “President Weah is in love with Lofa and willing to transform her in every way possible, but Lofa is yet to respond to his quest”, Mayor Koijee exclaimed.

He told Lofians that the county is an embodiment of so many competing interests – institutional interest, individual interest, and religious interest, and that the people of Lofa should not allow any individual’s political quest to overshadow the collective interest of the county and people.

Meanwhile, Mayor Koijee reiterated President Weah’s commitment to building roads, a modern youth center, a clinic, a multipurpose market center, and a US16M intended for loan to support business in Lofa.

In response to the young people’s quest, Mayor Koijee committed 50 dura plastic chairs, dstv set with two months subscription, 33” smart TV, 25kva generator, and a sum of LD18,000.00, an amount which was given on scene.

He was confident that Lofians collective support to the president would greatly help in the realization of the Pro Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD), his government’s flagship development program.

On arrival at the suburb of Zorzor District, the mayoral convoy got blocked into crowds of citizens who assembled to receive the president.

Citizens of Zorzor District including youth and students, men and women, traditional chiefs and local government authorities queued in throngs singing, shouting, and dancing as Mayor Koijee’s convoy pierced its way through the district.

Following an effort to meander through the huge crowds, the Mayor and his entourage managed to get to business, encouraging Lofians to stand with the president in his quest to build clinics, markets, roads and many others.

According to the Mayor, he came to Lofa with great passion to help the president transform the county because of the enormity of challenges plaguing the county and his love for the people, and that their support toward President Weah will never remain unfruitful.

He assured Lofian citizens that they will never regret supporting President Weah to continue his development because the government is working to meet their development needs and Lofa is a major priority.
