George G. Solo, former Chairman of the Congress for Democratic Change, now staunch supporter of presidential candidate Benoni Urey and All Liberian Party (ALP) is demanding that the Government of Liberia openly apologizes to Mr. Urey for what he called “illegal action meted against Urey”.
Solo, speaking recently at his ALP headquarters on the Old Road, Monrovia, said that the Liberian government led by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf created falsehood against his Standard Bearer in the name of generating the corridor for transparency and integrity by conducting audit at the Maritime Authority, where Urey was head during former President Charles Taylor’s administration. The audit shows that Urey did nothing, Solo said.
Not being satisfied, the government reportedly pushed for the inclusion of Urey on the United Nations’ sanction list and barring him from traveling out of the country. Following series of investigations by the international groupings, Solo noted, the United Nations and United States lifted the sanctions and travel ban, giving Urey flying colors.
According to him, with these clean records being proven both locally and internationally the best option for the government is to apologize to him for the wrong perception and wrongful punishment.
Solo, one time national chairman of the Congress for Democratic Change of Senator George Manneh Weah, explained that he is no longer friend to his former boss, saying that the relationship between he and Weah has since come to end from the day he resigned from the CDC as chairman and partisan of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC).
Solo further indicated that the ALP is in the 2017 Representatives and Presidential election with all its might, with the focus to win the Executive Mansion through a democratic, transparent, free and fair election.
