Why did George Weah lose the Presidency of Liberia after only one term ?
George Weah is one of the greatest heros Liberia has ever had. It is still argued that he was the best ever football player produced in Africa.
Having retired, he became involved in Liberian politics rising to vice president. However when he ran for office in 2017 he made strong speeches against government corruption. It was expected that he would address this. Instead his term in office was burdened by consistent claims of corruption and, in the end, very little was done to stop this.
President Weah was weighed down by high expectations but there were huge problems including the need for infrastructure development and securing relations with other countries to improve the country's balance of trade but again there was little to show for his time in office.
