Presidential Press Secretary Reacts To Social Media Reports That President Weah Own A Ship Or Yacht;

The Executive Mansion says it attention has been drawn to posts on social media with the image of a ship marked “SS George Weah,” which is said to belong to President George Manneh Weah, starting that said information is untrue.

In a release issued on Sunday August 1,2021, the executive mansion clarifies that President Weah does not own a ship (or a yacht) as alleged by the posters. According to them,the assertion is another diabolical attempt by detractors to spew false claims about the President.

They further stated that the story, which was first published in 2019 by Global News Network – with the photoshopped image – was done without any evidence or fact-checking, noting that the publisher of GNN, Mr. Cholo Brooks, has been contacted and asked to retract the story in keeping with the ethics of good journalism.

The release quote the Executive Mansionas saying “the allegation bears all the hallmarks of yellow journalism. But despite the falsehoods, President Weah remains committed to responsibly carrying out the duties of the office of President of Liberia in keeping with the Pro-poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development, including guaranteeing free press and free expression”.
