Senator Prince Moye has been officially recognized as the political “Godfather” of Bong County during a ceremony on March 22, 2025, organized by the Prophetic Call to Ministry Like Mind Pastors. The event took place at the Dominion Christian Fellowship Center in Gbarnga and honored Moye for his steadfast leadership and commitment to the region’s development.
Bishop Minikon E. Nyenpan, president of the organization, commended Moye for his dedication to promoting growth in Bong County since his political career began. He urged Moye to leverage his new title to foster unity and initiate further developmental programs within the county, which may include convening a county-wide reconciliatory conference aimed at promoting political collaboration and peace.
Bishop Nyenpan remarked on the historical trend of religious leaders in Liberia avoiding political engagement, which he asserts has led to an imbalance, allowing non-Christians to dominate the political landscape. He encouraged the church to take a more proactive stance in influencing the country’s political future.
In response to the honor, Senator Moye expressed gratitude and attributed his title as political “Godfather” to his impressive victory in the 2020 senatorial elections. He reaffirmed his commitment to fostering unity, acknowledging potential resistance to his reconciliation efforts. “If you do not believe, I am the political godfather of the county, it is important that you go under truck,” he asserted, emphasizing his leadership role.
Moye has consistently highlighted that he has held the title of ‘Bong County Political Godfather’ since 2020, given to him by the constituents of Bong, stating that its validity cannot be undone. His political journey began in 2011, when he ran for the position of Representative for Jorquelleh District and achieved an extraordinary 80 percent of the votes against seven competitors, including former Bong County Superintendent Esther Walker.
Moye’s political journey continued successfully; he was elected to represent the Unity Party with the backing of former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in 2016. His tenure as a Representative from 2011 to 2017 was marked by the initiation of over 20 developmental projects, including a significant $500,000 school project funded by the World Bank. After being re-elected in 2017, Moye became Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2018, earning respect from members across party lines despite the opposition nature of his party during a CDC-led government.
His influence peaked during the 2020 senatorial campaign, where he made history by winning all seven districts in Bong County, receiving 50 percent of the votes. Following this victory, Moye played a critical role in re-establishing Joseph Boakai as the Unity Party’s standard bearer in 2022 and served as the National Campaign Chair for Boakai’s presidential endeavors in 2023, further consolidating Bong County’s prominence in national discussions.
In conclusion, Senator Prince Moye’s recent designation as the political “Godfather” of Bong County underscores his significant leadership and influence within the region. His political journey, characterized by remarkable electoral victories and a commitment to development, illustrates his dedication to uniting the county and advocating for its growth. Moye’s recognition and the support from both local religious leaders and political figures highlight his pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of Bong County.
