MONROVIA – The Government of Liberia has strongly condemned recent irresponsible and inflammatory remarks made by Bomi County Senator Edwin Snowe, a member of the ECOWAS Parliament.
Senator Snowe openly vowed to leverage his connections within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to ensure the failure of the government led by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr.
In a troubling declaration, Senator Snowe stated his intention to “do everything possible including using his connections in ECOWAS to make the Boakai-led government fail, even if it means discouraging foreign direct investment and making Liberia ungovernable and unstable until he becomes President.”
In a statement issued by the government on late Saturday evening, it reminds all officials, including Senator Snowe, that no citizen is permitted to undermine the nation or its government by exploiting regional or international institutions for personal political gain or destabilization.
Calling on sub-regional, regional, and international partners, Liberia urges vigilance to prevent any efforts to destabilize the government and derail the nation’s progress.
As a committed champion of peace, security, and economic integration within the Mano River Union (MRU), ECOWAS, the African Union (AU), and the global community, Liberia remains steadfast in its dedication to stability.
The government assures Liberians that it possesses the strength and capacity to fulfill its duties, safeguard the nation, and thwart those who seek to sow chaos.
Liberians are encouraged to stand united, support their government, and work together toward building a peaceful and prosperous nation.
