Presidency is not a reward

A lot of our "politicians" bring up and always try to highlight their past deeds and acheivements as ground to become the President of our nation. Others exaggerate their untimely remittences to family members as sponsoring scholarships to ordinary citizens.

They make it sound as if this qualifies them to become President.

Let me just make it clear that the Presidency of Liberia is not a reward, not even an acheivement. Although our politicians mentality would encourage them to persue these ambitions, one of the main reasons for this is simple greed.

Look at the Precidency as an opportunity to take Liberia forward. See it as a daunting task to improve the lives of all our citizens. Forget your greed for power and think forward. Show us what you will try to acheive, instead of dwelling in the past.
