Kakata City, Margibi County — Margibi County Superintendent OJ Godfavor Morris has called on residents of the county, particularly young people, to embrace unity, reconciliation, and constructive support for the development of Margibi, rather than engaging in division and negative commentary.
Speaking during a New Year’s Day conversation at his residence in Kakata City, Superintendent Morris emphasized the importance of collective responsibility in governance and county growth. He told Verity that his administration is committed to inclusiveness and cooperation across political and social lines, stressing that leadership should rise above partisan differences.
“I’ve started already; that’s why I’m identifying with all parties,” Superintendent Morris said.
According to him, the political season is over, and the focus must now shift to governance and service to the people. “We’re done with politics. This is governance; therefore, let’s put aside our differences and build Margibi and Liberia at large together,” he added.
The Unity Party superintendent highlighted reconciliation as a priority of his leadership, noting that unity is essential for progress. “I started with reconciliation because I know a divided house cannot move forward,” he stated. He urged residents to see one another as partners in development, regardless of past political affiliations or disagreements.
Superintendent Morris also addressed what he described as a troubling trend during major county events, including the National County Sports Meet. He observed that some residents of Margibi publicly claim to support the county while also dividing their loyalty with other counties. He firmly rejected that practice. “No,” he said, “let’s not share our county love with any other county.”
He encouraged citizens to take pride in Margibi and stand fully behind its growth and success.
A significant part of his message was directed at young Margibians, whom he described as key stakeholders in the county’s future. He urged them to support development efforts and refrain from badmouthing leaders and initiatives.
According to him, negative talk does not only harm current leadership but also undermines opportunities for the youth themselves.
“I’m a young man serving today as superintendent; any one of you can serve tomorrow,” Morris said. He warned that refusing to support progress in favor of constant criticism could be self-defeating. “If you refuse to support but choose to badmouth, just know that you’re spoiling things for yourself,” he cautioned.
Superintendent Morris concluded by reiterating his call for “One Margibi,” urging residents to work together in unity, peace, and mutual respect to advance the county’s development agenda.
