Tweh spoke over the weekend at the dedication of the Unity Party’s District 7 Office in Saclepea City, Nimba County.
He praised President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for bringing Vice President Jeremiah Koung into his inner circle, saying the two leaders work well together and that their partnership reflects the administration’s inclusive approach.
“Nimba is an important political stronghold,” Tweh said. “Its unity and support can be decisive in national elections.”
He called on Nimbaians to stay together and back the Unity Party’s development vision for the county and the nation.
The ceremony honored Senior Partisan Anthony Myers, who purchased the party’s new District 7 Office with personal funds. In recognition of the contribution and to support ongoing fundraising, the Unity Party’s national leadership, through Secretary-General Tweh, donated L$1 million dollars on behalf of the party.
Tweh also lauded local initiative and private-led development, praising Nimbaians for welcoming guests and for active civic engagement.
“Nimba people do not simply wait on government to deliver development; they organize, invest and push projects forward,” he stated, citing recent local infrastructure and community projects as examples of the county’s civic spirit.
Support for the UP at the event included officials from other parties.
Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction (MDR) members Victor W. Kpaiseh, Nimba County Deputy Camping Manager and P. Othello Mansuo Jr. pledged personal and political support to the Unity Party.
Described as “sons of the county,” they praised President Boakai’s selection of Jeremiah Koung as vice president and committed to working with the UP at the county level.
The dedication drew a broad cross-section of local leaders, party activists and community members, including district officials, youth organizers and small-business owners.
Attendees described the new office as a focal point for party coordination, civic engagement and local development initiatives.
Several speakers urged continued collaboration between the county’s traditional leaders and the Unity Party to translate political support into tangible projects such as improved roads, schools, and health services.
In closing, Secretary-General Tweh urged party members to sustain fundraising and grassroots mobilization ahead of upcoming political cycles.
“Nimba’s human and political resources make it central to national politics,” he said.
“If we remain united, organized and focused on development, Nimba will continue to be a powerhouse for progress,” he added.
