– Prominent SAY NO TO DRUGS CAMPAIGN MOVEMENT Member Assures
MONROVIA – Sonnie B. Kollie, a prominent voice in Liberia’s “Say No to Drugs” movement, issued a public apology on social media Tuesday addressing her action toward a recent internal conflict that played out in the group. In a statement, Kollie expressed deep regret for his actions and accepted full responsibility for what he described as a “serious mistake.”
The post, which was directed to her followers, and fellow anti-drug advocates, acknowledged the disappointment his behavior may have caused. “I recognize that I have made a serious mistake, and I deeply regret the choices I made,” Kollie stated. “I understand that my behavior may have disappointed many of you who look up to me, and for that, I am truly sorry.”
She emphasized his commitment to personal growth and better decision-making, noting that being a public figure comes with the responsibility of setting a positive example. “This experience has been a wake-up call,” he added, “and I am taking the necessary steps to learn, grow, and ensure this does not happen again.”
Despite the personal setback, Kollie reaffirmed his unwavering dedication to the “Say No to Drugs” campaign, describing it as a national movement for all Liberians. He vowed to intensify efforts to combat drug abuse, promising greater collaboration with stakeholders and service providers to reduce the accessibility of ghettos and drug hideouts.
She also called for compassion toward victims of drug addiction, describing them as vulnerable individuals in need of support rather than stigma. “Let me also caution us about the importance of protecting the victims,” Kollie urged. “They are vulnerable and they need our support.”
The message concluded with a rallying cry for national unity in the fight against substance abuse: “We refuse to accept an entire generation be wiped off… We will stand up and protect our generations.”
Kollie signed off with humility and respect, reiterating his hope to regain public trust through future actions. The post has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some followers offering forgiveness and encouragement, while others expressed disappointment.
