Monrovia, Liberia – In a New Year message, Alexander B. Cummings, the political leader of the opposition Alternative National Congress (ANC), vowed to speak more vocally on critical national issues going forward.
He addressed the challenges facing Liberia as the nation enters 2025. Cummings emphasized the need for greater accountability from the government, urging a collective effort to overcome the hurdles that have plagued the country.
“I will, however, speak more vocally about the challenges of our country,” Cummings declared, acknowledging the pressing issues that have affected the lives of many Liberians. He reflected on 2024 as a year filled with hope, yet marred by difficulties. While the transition of power marked a positive step for democracy, setbacks in governance were evident, particularly in the House of Representatives.
The economic landscape remains daunting. Many families continue to face the harsh realities of rising living costs and an unstable political climate. These challenges have not gone unnoticed, prompting calls from supporters and ordinary citizens for Cummings to take a more active role in addressing the government’s shortcomings.
“I hear you,” he stated, recognizing the voices of those who seek change. Cummings has been monitoring events closely, offering insights and observations aimed at fostering a new mindset for governance. He acknowledged the importance of allowing the new government time to stabilize but emphasized the need for ongoing dialogue with the public.
As the New Year unfolds, Cummings expressed his commitment to holding the government accountable while wishing them success. “Their success would be good for the Liberian people and for our common patrimony,” he noted. His message resonated with a call to action, encouraging all Liberians to work together for a brighter future.
In closing, Cummings extended his best wishes for 2025, particularly to the women and youth who form the backbone of Liberia. “Happy 2025 to all of us,” he said, reinforcing a message of hope and unity.
“God bless you and God bless Liberia,” he concluded, as the nation looks forward to a year of potential and progress.
