PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 14, 2022
Fellow Citizens of District #4 Montserrado County, in respective of our political affiliations, religious believes, and destinations, it's a great pleasure that we are alive at this moment as we observe another remarkable day of unity on this 14th day of May AD 2022, which is declared as "National Unification Day" a day set aside in Liberia, for all Liberians to settle our differences, conflicts or palaver which is being observed in each year on May 14 across the country.
As we observe this day, let us remember that the word "unity" is a cardinal tool in nation-building as it's often said in our national anthem that "in union strong success it shows, we cannot fail". Let us not see today as a day just to stay at home and entertain ourselves, and after, exhibit divisiveness in our various communities, neighborhoods, districts and etc. Rather, it's a time to reunite and ensure a sustainable unity amongst us in order to make our country Liberia a better place for every Liberians.
With regards to our political ambitions and supports we grant to individuals who we believe in to deliver us from the quote on quote bad leadership in our districts and country at large, it's a caution that we engage the issues confronting us in a civil manner, using the legality of the laws as the way forward in order to avoid violent action as violence has led our country Liberia to several damages. In this manner, we discourage every forms of violence (Say No to Violence).
Let's not be influenced by cash or individuals who will advice us to take the wrong action to damage our country because Liberia is all we have and nowhere can keep us better than our dear country.
To my fellow politicians in District #4 Montserrado County, as we all anticipate the long-awaiting 2023 elections in order to compete for the lone seat at the house of representative to represent our beloved district, let us not see each other as enemies in our political engagements. Let's disagree to agree and remember that we have our country Liberia as something essential in common.
My fellow citizens of district #4 Montserrado County, Ladies and gentlemen of the press, let me use this time to say Happy Unification Day to everyone on this wonderful May 14.
Regards'
Atty. Michael M. Thomas
