The Standard Bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Mr. Alexander Cummings rounded up his campaign tour of Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, with a call on Liberians for a peaceful and nonviolence elections on Tuesday, October 10.
Cummings said, as Liberians go to the poll and decide on their choices of leaders, the CPP will accept the results on condition, that the results truly and accurately reflect the will and aspirations of the Liberian people.
In a nationwide address from Buchanan, Mr. Cummings called for a sober reflection on the part of every Liberian on the question of why, Liberia at 176, it’s still ranked amongst the least developed nations, despite the vast natural resources.
Cummings said, Liberia at 176, lacked good health care, good schools, no electricity, nor pipe-born water, disastrous roads nationwide, and with vast majority of its citizens living in deplorable conditions and abject poverty.
He blamed the country’s worsening economic conditions and the lack of basic social services and infrastructures on decades of poor leadership and gross mismanagement of public resources.
Cummings said, if “government experience” was the required solution to achieving national development and economic prosperity, Liberia would rank amongst the most developed nations.
Mr. Cummings says poor choices by Liberians of electing incompetent and wrong leaders over the years, with the same experiences and ideas, has degraded and worsened the country’s great economic potential.
He vowed to take the hard and tough decisions, and said, to change Liberia and accelerate economic development, Liberians will have to do things differently, elect competent and experienced leaders with vision to engender economic growth through the creation of a strong and vibrant private sector.
Cummings said with his wealth of experience and knowledge of economic and business development, he has the capacity to transform the country’s ailing economy, create jobs, fix the roads and restore basic social services.
He appealed to Liberians to give him the single greatest honor by electing him President to lead Liberia’s economic recovery for the betterment of all Liberians.
Rounding up his Campaign in Buchanan, Cummings met with several political, civil society, inter-religious, and interest groups, thanked them and pleaded with them for the chance to lead.
On Sunday, Cummings, along with his Vice Standard Bearer Counsellor Charlyne Brumskine, ended the campaign with worship services at several churches, who offered special prayers of blessings, and wished him victory in the Tuesday, October poll.
Earlier, in an exclusive interview with Radio Gbehzon on October 7, Mr. Cummings vowed that a CPP government will prioritize the interests of Liberian businesses and, will, withinthe first one hundred days, begin to restore salary cut of civil servants initiated by the CDC government.
Cummings told Journalists that his quest for the Presidency is to work along with all well meaning Liberians to change the pathetic condition of Liberians, and not to plunder the country’s resources.
He said, as President, he will donate his salary to charitable work, and disabuse the minds of his critics that he is seeking the presidency to amass wealth.
The CPP Standard Bearer said God has blessed him with enormous wealth and that his quest for the Presidency is not for a job, but rather, to use the Presidency to change Liberia for the betterment of all citizens.
Cummings said, while aggressively combating corruption, a CPP Government will ensure Liberia reaps the full benefits of its natural resources, without necessarily aborting any concessionaire agreements.
Last week the CPP Standard Bearer visited Bong and Nimba Counties and was accorded a rousing welcome with pledges of support to his Presidential bid.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cummings, accompanied by his Vice Standard Bearer Counsellor Charlyne Brumskine, on Sunday, October 8, attended the closing campaign ceremony of Grand Bassa County Senatorial Aspirant Gbehzongar Findley in Buchanan.
Mr. Findley, former Senator of Grand Bassa County and President Pro-Tempro of the Liberian Senate, is seeking re-election.
The impressive ceremony was attended by thousands of Grand Bassa County citizens.
Official campaign for the 2023 General and Presidential elections ended Sunday, October 8, according to the National Elections Commission timetable.
Since the 2017 elections, Cummings, widely considered the best and most suitable Presidential candidate of the 20 contestants, has remained engaged with Liberians nationwide, advocating the cause of Liberians, and making the case that he is the right candidate to institute real change in Liberia.
