Vice President Jeremiah Kpan Koung Strongly Condemns Prophet Key’s Statement Against the Mandingo Community in Nimba County

Following the launch of our campaign in Saclepea yesterday, I came across a video this morning in which Prophet Key made a deeply troubling statement targeting the Mandingo community in Nimba County.

I strongly condemn this statement. It does not reflect my values nor the spirit of our campaign.

My advocacy for a balanced distribution of power in Nimba is firmly rooted in traditional values and mutual respect among all our people. Since the election of Senator Twayen, Jr. and the late political godfather in 2023 and 2024, the long-standing debate over dividing Nimba, which was driven by concerns about one tribe holding the Senate seat, has significantly subsided. Our people are now living in relative harmony, and preserving this atmosphere of peace and unity is essential for the continued progress of our county.

The government is making sincere efforts to resolve the longstanding land disputes among families in Ganta. If anyone has a personal issue with an individual, it should be addressed directly — not by casting blame on an entire group.

Finally, I wish to sincerely thank the Nimba Mandingo Association (NICOMA) for their public endorsement of Hon. Kogar during yesterday’s event in Saclepea. Your trust and support are deeply appreciated and stand as a powerful reminder that our future is brighter when we stand together.
