Widow of Late PYJ Endorses Rep. Samuel Kogar for Nimba Senate Race

Madam Arhifa Boyidee, widow of the late Nimba County Senator Prince Yormie Johnson, has publicly declared her support for Representative Samuel Kogar in the upcoming senatorial by-election. Her endorsement signals a major shift in the political landscape of Nimba as she positions Kogar, a cousin of the late senator, as the rightful successor.

Speaking on her decision, Madam Boyidee emphasized that extensive discussions with family members, relatives, and close allies of her late husband guided her endorsement. She described Kogar as the candidate best suited to continue the legacy of Senator Johnson, who remained a dominant political force in Nimba for decades. She assured the people of the county that her backing of Kogar was not only personal but rooted in tradition and respect for the Johnson family’s values.

Her declaration comes amid rising speculation about her own political ambitions. However, she dismissed the rumors outright, making it clear that she has no interest in contesting the Senate seat. She stressed that her focus remains on uniting her family and ensuring that the political path set by her late husband continues under Kogar’s leadership.

Madam Boyidee also used the occasion to express profound gratitude to the people of Nimba and Liberia at large for the support shown during her husband’s funeral, which was held on January 18, 2025, in Ganta. She acknowledged the overwhelming display of solidarity and respect from citizens across the country, particularly from Nimba, in honoring the legacy of the late senator.

As the National Elections Commission prepares to set the date for the by-election, Madam Boyidee urged Nimbaians to remain peaceful and committed to a fair and transparent process. She reaffirmed her full support for Kogar, expressing confidence in his ability to serve the people and uphold the principles championed by her late husband.
