Campaign Manager Concedes Defeat
March 25, 2006
The Campaign Manager of Siaka A. Sherif has accepted the defeat of his
candidate in the just-ended elections of the Liberia Football
Association (LFA).
At the climax of the 12th Ordinary Congress of the LFA, held in
Kakata, Margibi County, Mr. Sherif, who was then the Vice President
for Administration, lost the presidential race to Cllr. S. Izetta
Wesley last Saturday.
In his concession comments, Andy Quamie described the defeat of Sherif
as the will of Congress and that of football stakeholders.
Quamie added that he supports the mandate given to Cllr. Wesley as the
head of Liberian football.
The Campaign Manager of Mr. Sherif admonished Cllr. Wesley to include
everybody in the running of football.
Mr. Quamie, who is also the President of the Premier League outfit
Watanga FC, lauded the efforts of those who stood by them during the
campaign period.
He promised to remain supportive in the development of football in the
country.
The young club president declared that Mr. Sherif, despite his defeat
and the fact that he would no more form part of the LFA Executive
Committee, has not turned his back on promoting youth soccer.
According to him, Mr. Sherif would very soon begin to promote the
development of youth football programs, particularly at the Under-17
and 20 levels, as pledged during the campaign season.
