LCC Refutes Suspension Rumors of President Samuel Reeves

The Liberia Council of Churches has rejected rumors alleging that Rev. Dr. Samuel Reeves was suspended for three months after he criticized President Joseph Boakai’s vehicle purchase. LCC Secretary General Rev. Dr. Christopher Toe stated these claims were baseless, urging the public to dismiss them and calling for media responsibility in reporting.

The Liberia Council of Churches (LCC) has officially refuted claims circulating on social media regarding the suspension of its President, Rev. Dr. Samuel Reeves, for a three-month period. These rumors, which surfaced over the weekend, implied that Rev. Reeves faced suspension following his criticism of President Joseph Boakai concerning the purchase of an expensive Lexus SUV valued at over $400,000.

The alleged comments from Rev. Reeves suggested a contradiction in President Boakai’s previous pledge to use a wheelbarrow to symbolize budgetary conservation. However, LCC Secretary General Rev. Dr. Christopher Toe condemned these assertions as groundless, insisting that no meetings regarding suspension or criticism of President Boakai’s vehicle purchases took place under Rev. Reeves’ leadership.

Rev. Toe emphasized the unfounded nature of these claims and urged the public to dismiss the rumors. He also implored those disseminating false information to step forward and accept their accountability, highlighting the potential harm such narratives pose to the LCC’s integrity. Furthermore, he appealed to the media to refrain from reporting on these misleading claims, stating they do not reflect the LCC’s official position on critical national matters.

In summary, the Liberia Council of Churches categorically denied the rumors of Rev. Dr. Samuel Reeves’ suspension, dismissing them as fabricated and damaging to the institution’s credibility. The LCC leadership emphasized that no critical statements regarding President Joseph Boakai’s actions were made, and urged both the public and media to disregard these falsehoods. Rev. Toe’s statements serve to reinforce the Council’s commitment to truth and accountability in its representation of national issues.
