In his social media post after campaign Kakata, Margibi County, Cummings an apostle of “doing things differently to get different results, said the historic event bore testimony that Monrovia alone does not constitute Liberia but giving other cities the same respect and importance is a true meaning of a whole country.
“Today you proved that Monrovia is NOT Liberia. You re-emphasized the importance of decentralization and including our people outside Montserrado in major events. We are proud of the people of Margibi and honored by your support. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
“To our Margibi Campaign Chair, Mr. Alfred Jerbo, and team, our county and district leadership, all of our candidates, auxilairies, partisans, supporters and well-wishers, the VSB Cllr. Brumskine and I, thank you for showing that teamwork makes dream work”, Cummings said.
Cummings said he could remember a few members of the campaign team being apprehensive that major parties have not launched outside of Monsterrado in recent history, if at all, and that rural campaigning is complex, “notwithstanding, we showed that it can be done with proper planning and efficient execution; that is why we are the ALTERNATIVE”.
“As I always quote, “we cannot keep doing the same things and expect different results”. To move our country forward, we must do things differently!
“Today, we also produced the red card that must be given to Pres. Weah. He has intentionally fouled the Liberian people and he must be put out of the game. We cannot win with him; your lives can not get better with him; and our country cannot develop with him. I am not talking about quick impact projects but real, substantive, and sustainable development”, he said.
He urged Liberians to go all out on October 10, 2023 to “VOTE CPP, VOTE #4, and together, we’ll FIX Liberia”.
