The political camp of Senator Samuel G. Kogar has dismissed claims that the lawmaker reached a peace settlement with Vice President Jeremiah Koung or offered him any apology.
According to Kogar’s Political Advisor, recent reports from the Unity Party and the Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction suggesting reconciliation between the two leaders are misleading. The advisor explained that in a closed-door meeting with elders, Senator Kogar admitted to being wrong for raising issues against Koung in public without first presenting a formal complaint. He apologized to the elders present, not to Vice President Koung.
The elders reportedly suggested that Kogar accompany them to Koung’s residence for further talks, but Kogar firmly rejected the idea, saying he does not trust the Vice President. Instead, he proposed that any engagement between them be held on neutral ground in Nimba County, excluding both Koung’s farm and Ganta. This alternative was accepted by the elders, who instructed Kogar to communicate the change directly to Koung by phone, which he did.
As it stands, the responsibility now lies with Vice President Koung to set a suitable date and time for the meeting, in alignment with Kogar’s availability.
Kogar’s advisor emphasized that the Senator remains unwavering in his position, stating plainly: it is either Koung accepts the terms or Kogar will walk away.
