The Liberian election is a lesson in civility and a message of hope.
Liberia is the new moral compass of the subregion.
Liberia rose from the ashes and is now becoming a tree of political tolerance and decency in West Africa.
There was a time we rescued and saved Liberians from themselves and now they are doing the same to us.
Congratulations to Joseph Boakai for the victory and kudos to the Outgoing President George for demonstration of such an unwavering act of statesmanship, Sportsmanship and patriotism.
