Weah believes he is ‘the future’

LIBERIANS are flocking to the presidential campaign of former soccer star George Weah, who has pledged to lead his war-scarred country to peace and development after decades of despots.

That’s despite the glowing CVs of his rivals. Sekou Conneh, a former rebel leader, helped drive corrupt former President Charles Taylor into exile, and Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, served as Citibank vice president and was a World Bank official.

Weah was FIFA World Player of the Year in 1995.
