The Joint Security has noted, with deep consternation and utmost concern, a statement attributed to Nimba County Senator, Prince Johnson, threatening armed rebellion should the October 10, 2023 election be rigged.
The Joint Security emphasized that Liberia is a country of law and, as such, aggrieved parties must continue to seek legal remedies to issues instead of resorting to violence. “The concept of a single individual anointing himself as judge, jury and executioner must be discouraged,” the Joint Security stated in a press release.
“Senator Johnson must be reminded that Liberians have had enough of suffering during our most recent civil unrest and are no more interested in returning this country to its ugly past,” the Joint Security press release warned.
“Hence, well-meaning Liberians, including political actors, civil society groups and religious institutions, are urged to continue promoting peace and stability in Liberia and desist from engaging in actions that undermine the peace and stability of the state,” the release observed.
