Fallah-Breaks-Ranks:-Unveils-NIMBO,-Says-CDC-Can’t-Return-Weah-to-Power

Monrovia, Liberia: Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah has outlined a bold political direction for Liberia, announcing plans to launch a new movement aimed at securing the reelection of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.

Speaking on a local radio program, Fallah said the National Independent Movement for Boakai (NIMBO) will be officially launched on May 24, 2026, in Monrovia. He described the initiative as a major political force that will unite Liberians across the country in support of the President.

He stressed that the movement is intended to build a broad and inclusive coalition focused on national unity and political stability.

On legislative matters, Fallah called for accountability, warning that statements made by public officials must not undermine Liberia’s sovereignty. He specifically urged that lawmakers, including Yekeh Kolubah, act responsibly in their public engagements.

Addressing the ongoing debate around the mining sector, particularly the Bea Mountain situation, Fallah cautioned against blame and division. He called for a national conversation on how Liberia manages its natural resources, suggesting that the country should consider taking up to 40 percent ownership in the mining sector to ensure greater benefit for citizens.

Fallah also delivered strong criticism of the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), claiming the party has lost its direction and is facing internal divisions. He argued that the current leadership lacks the capacity to return former President George Weah to power in 2029.

According to him, internal challenges within the CDC have created a disconnect between party leaders and its grassroots supporters. He warned that continued misalignment could weaken the party’s future political chances.

Fallah further advised that former President Weah should consider stepping back from contesting the 2029 elections, suggesting instead that he take time to rest.

He concluded by stating that Liberia’s political future will depend on unity, accountability, and honest leadership.
