The Liberian Senate has made a historic move, granting the transfer of the chair once occupied by the late Senator Prince Y. Johnson to a museum in Sanniquellie, Nimba County. This decision, fueled by a heartfelt request from the people of Nimba, marks a symbolic tribute to a figure whose legacy remains deeply embedded in Liberia’s political landscape.
The call for the chair’s relocation was relayed to the Senate through Senator Nya Twayen Jr., who echoed the voices of Nimbaians seeking to enshrine the memory of their fallen leader. Senate Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence reinforced the request, stressing the cultural and historical significance of preserving the chair as an artifact in a dedicated museum.
In response, the Senate gave its approval, and in a moment steeped in reverence, the Sergeant-at-Arms officially removed the chair from the Senate chambers. It will soon embark on a journey back to Nimba County, where it will be housed as a lasting tribute to the late senator’s legacy.
This move is more than just the transfer of a chair; it is the preservation of history and legacy. It serves as a strong reminder of Prince Y. Johnson’s role in shaping Liberia’s political narrative, ensuring that future generations will have a physical link to his time in office. As the chair makes its way to Nimba, it carries with it stories of political battles, leadership, and the unwavering bond between a leader and his people.
