According to Mr. Gborlawoe, they endorsed Cllr. Gongloe because of what he has done for Liberia and Liberians in terms of advocacy.
“So our gathering here today is not because of money, but to tell the world that Cllr. Taiwan Saye Gongloe is a possible replacement for President George Weah.”
He disclosed that among the Presidential Candidates, Cllr. Gongloe is the only person who can deliver Liberians from the condition they are facing now.
According to Gborlawoe, during Gongloe’s days in the government and private sectors, Liberians including the international community felt his impact on society.
Also speaking, the CPP/ANC representative candidate in District #4, Jonah N. Togbah, endorsed the presidential bid of the Gongloe and Yarkpawolo ticket in the pending October 10, 2023 elections.
He outlined the records of Cllr. Tiawan Saye Gongloe and urged citizens of Bong to support the Gongloe and Yarkpawolo ticket in the County.
The CPP Representative candidate said it is about time for Zota District to make history by producing a Vice President from the District in the upcoming October 10 elections.
The CPP/ANC Representative candidate told the huge gathering that despite being from the CPP, he believes in what an individual brings on board in terms of bettering the lives of the ordinary citizens.
“I cannot take off my trousers and give them to a different person. l will work closely with Cllr. Taiwan Saye Gongloe and Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo’s ticket in giving them the thirty thousand and thirty (3030) people that registered in Zota District for this October elections, so that they will respect us as citizens from this District,” Jonah N. Togbah added.
He urged Zota citizens to support the Gongloe and Yarkpawolo ticket in the pending elections.
