Boakai Massaquoi Denies Allegations of Farm Ownership, Calls for Truth

MONROVIA – Boakai Massaquoi, the Chief Executive Officer of Boakai Massaquoi Agriculture and Real Estate Incorporated, has staunchly refuted claims that his farm belongs to former Vice President Joseph Nyumah Boakai.

These allegations surfaced when a social media group, “Opposition Solidarity Brigades,” recently posted a photo of ex-VP Boakai on Massaquoi’s rice farm, accompanied by the caption “Amb. Joseph Boakai on his rice farm.”

During a press conference, Boakai Massaquoi addressed reporters, highlighting that this action had created significant tension among his family and supporters.

Massaquoi, who is also an Independent Candidate in Montserrado District #2, responded in the wake of a Facebook publication featuring an image of himself and Ambassador Boakai.

He clarified that these pictures were taken back in 2019 when he had invited both the Ministry of Agriculture and the UP political leader to witness his rice cultivation project. He explained that these images are now being used by UP surrogates to falsely claim that the farm belongs to Ambassador Boakai.

This farm is located in District 11, Montserrado County, covering several acres. During a fact-check tour with a team of journalists, Massaquoi presented legal evidence establishing that the rice farm unequivocally belongs to him and not to the Standard Bearer of the opposition Unity Party, as asserted by his supporters.

While the Unity Party’s presidential candidate has prioritized agricultural investment if elected, citing his experience as a former Minister of Agriculture, Massaquoi, the Montserrado District #2 representative candidate, urged UP partisans to be truthful in presenting their candidate to the Liberian public instead of resorting to falsehoods and deception.

“Is this how they will find their way to state power by lying to the Liberian people? Such information posted on the Opposition Solidarity Brigade’s Facebook page is criminal and a total deception to not only me and my families, but the general public,” he said.

He cautioned members of the Opposition Solidarity Brigade to immediately remove the post or face potential legal action, describing such misinformation as criminal and misleading to the public.

Massaquoi also called upon Ambassador Boakai to instruct his supporters to correct the record and put an end to the controversy.
