Monrovia – Former Liberian leader Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has said that rumor of her giving opposition political party Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) fifteen thousand United States dollars (US$15,000) and one thousand (1,000) bags of cement for their new party headquarter construction as “nonsense”.
In a phone-in interview with OK FM Julius Jeh today, September 1, the former Liberian leader vehemently rejected the claim circulating on social media.
“Those people who put this crap, this nonsense on social media must just love my name”, Madam Sirleaf said.
The former Liberian President said she had spent the past three days on her farm and had no knowledge of the information circulating in Monrovia.
“Anybody who put that crap out there, I say they are damn stupid”, furious Madam Sirleaf said, emphasizing, “just put it in the media that they are damn stupid and let everybody hear it just as I say it”.
Madam Sirleaf said in no time that anyone from the CDC reach out to her concerning its party’s headquarters construction.
“Never, never, no CDC person has reached me on no support. They have no reason to call me for support”, Madam Sirleaf clarified.
Madam Sirleaf lamented that she is busy with personal things like her center and farm and as such, she has nothing to do with politics anymore.
“I am out of their damn politics, that why the politics is so terrible, because is so sensational, and it just makes people tired. People want to do the good things for the country”.
“You want to promote the good part of the country, you want to be supportive to all the agencies of government, you want to support the president and everything he does if it is in the interest of the country yet everyday somebody come with some nonsense or the other”, the former Liberian President blasted.
Madam Sirleaf said she hope Liberians will get to work, saying “they are so bold with laziness, that’s why they can’t work”.
She hailed the level of reconciliation been carryout by President Boakai to unify Liberians and slammed other she believed are creating problems that are undermining the reconciliatory process.
