LFA
Maintains Blockade On Weah
By Julu M. Johnson, Jr.
From all indications, the legendary George Weah is yet to become the
president of the division one side Bassa Defender.
Over the weekend, the Secretary-General of the Liberia Football
Association (LFA) Yanqueh S. Borsay stood his ground by saying Weah
is not recognized.
Borsay even though believes he holds nothing against the former Lone
Star captain.
Borsay said the matter is a "statutory one" that could not be
reversed for the sake of Weah.
Borsay, meanwhile, disagreed with suggestion from former LFA
president Edwin Snowe who recently called for a conference to
resolve the purported row between Weah and the Liberian soccer
governing body.
According to Borsay, there exists no feud between the Liberian FA
and Weah that warrants a conference to bring peace.
Though he failed to elaborate, Borsay disclosed that it is Weah that
must apologized to the LFA.
He was apparently demanding the apology on grounds that the former
soccer star has been critical of the LFA and its president Counselor
Izetta Wesley.
Weah was recently named as president of Bassa Defender following the
resignation of J. Boakai G. Russell.
The LFA, through a written communication from Mr. Borsay, rejected
Weah s appointment.
He said, "the LFA cannot endorse such a communication in the absence
of an election that should have been held and the LFA officially
invited to participate and witness same as it has been practiced
under the LFA that all teams elections should be held or conducted
without the presence of the LFA."
Since then, Bassa Defender which appointed Weah has yet to change
its decision.
The club said as far it was concerned, it sticks to the decision and
that Weah is its president.
