I have been formally notified of the Liberia Football Association’s Appeals Committee’s decision to lift my permanent expulsion from participating in football.
I welcome the decision with gratitude and humility.
I respect the processes and institutions of our football and remain confident that, when matters are considered fairly and in accordance with the rules that govern us, the right outcome will prevail.
Throughout this process, I have deliberately chosen to remain calm and respectful.
I have also been encouraged by the overwhelming support, prayers, and messages I have received from family, friends, supporters, players, members of the football community, and ordinary Liberians.
To every one of you, I say thank you.
This moment is not about victory over anyone.
Football is bigger than any individual, disagreement, or institution.
What matters most is that we continue to build a football environment that fosters fairness, healthy competition, respect for the rules, and room for everyone who genuinely wants to contribute to the game’s development.
My journey in football has always been driven by one central purpose: youth empowerment.
I believe deeply in the power of football to change lives.
To our players, coaches, technical staff, administrators, supporters, and the many families who depend directly and indirectly on the initiatives we have built through football, I want you to know that I remain committed to this journey.
The challenges of the past weeks have only reinforced my belief that we must continue to work for a football culture built on fairness, mutual respect, healthy competition, and the development of our young people.
I therefore extend my hand to everyone within the football family. Let us put football first.
Let us compete fiercely on the field and in the pursuit of excellence, but let us also respect one another and remember that the future of Liberian football is greater than any one person or disagreement.
I am also deeply grateful to my dedicated lawyer who stood by me during this challenging period.
Your professionalism, commitment, and belief in the proper application of the rules gave me confidence and strength throughout this journey.
The journey continues.
The work continues.
And my commitment to youth empowerment and the development of Liberian football remains as strong as ever.
Thank you, and may God bless Liberia and Liberian football.
