MONROVIA, – February 17, 2025 In a stunning development, Hon. Solomon C. George, former Representative of District #7, Montserrado County, has announced his resignation from the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), citing years of betrayal, intimidation, and internal corruption within the party.
In a scathing letter addressed to CDC Chairman Cllr. Janga A. Kowo, Hon. George accused former President George M. Weah of dishonesty, disloyalty, and fostering a culture of hypocrisy within the party. The letter, dated February 12, 2025, detailed a series of grievances spanning five years, during which George claims his loyalty and dedication to the party were met with deception and hostility.
“𝑨𝒎𝒃. 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑴. 𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒉 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆, 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒃𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒇 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚,” 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆.
The former lawmaker, who has had a decades-long personal relationship with Weah, expressed dismay over what he described as a betrayal of trust. He accused the party of being infiltrated by “wicked, evil, ungodly people” who have exploited Weah’s popularity for personal gain.
Hon. George further claimed that he has been targeted and marginalized by party officials, including being blocked from CDC communication platforms for the past four months. He alleged that his dissenting views led to threats against his safety.
“𝑰𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒆 [𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒉] 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒆,” 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅, 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆.
The resignation letter also shed light on internal chaos within the CDC, citing a lack of leadership, constant infighting, and a disregard for democratic principles. George lamented that his repeated calls for a reconciliation meeting with Weah over the past four years were ignored.

In a powerful closing statement, he declared:
“𝑰 𝒋𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝑫𝑪 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒎𝒃. 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑴. 𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒉, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝑫𝑪 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒎𝒃. 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑴. 𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒉.”
George, known for his fiery rhetoric and loyalty to the party since its inception, also invoked scripture, cautioning the party against falling prey to lies, hypocrisy, and wickedness.
The sudden resignation of the prominent CDC stalwart has sent shockwaves through Liberia’s political landscape, raising questions about the future of the party amid ongoing internal divisions.
The CDC leadership is yet to respond to George’s allegations or his resignation.
