\u201cMy mission and vision [are] clear.I [am] tired of being in poverty, therefore, my mission is to disarm poverty and make sure we eradicate poverty from Liberia,\u201d he said on 7 July 2023.<\/p>\n

The political movement under the banner Nimba Zondoo Development Association (NIMZODA) with a membership of over thirty thousand endorsed Dr. Whapoe\u2019s bid on 7 July 2023.<\/p>\n

Whapoe is the standard bearer of the opposition Vision for Liberia Transformation Party (VOLT).<\/p>\n

The motivation of the organization is to foster peace, unity, togetherness, development as well as opportunity for all Nimbaians, most especially to support and promote their quests for public office.<\/p>\n

Dr. Whapoe expressed excitement over the endorsement. He noted that he was happy that Nimbaians\u2019 eyes are open and resolved to produce a president during the October elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for the endorsement, I am here to declare my intention to the world and Liberia at large and confirm to you that I will be on the ballot,\u201d said Dr. Whapoe.<\/p>\n

On behalf of NIMZODA, the group\u2019s chairman Mr. R. Nyah Gehgbay extolled Dr. Whapoe and his entourage for honoring the invitation.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that Nimba is ready to make a president because the county is tired of people referring to its citizens allegedly as cow meat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided to endorse you today not just because you are one of our own, but because we believe you have all it takes to be President of this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
