Please grant us independence, an independence in the form and fashion of a county status that would be named and stayled Gbi-Doru County with Dorgbor Town as its headquarters. “Equally and very visibly absent is the opportunity for any of the Gbi-Doru citizens to participate in the local administration of Nimba County, not even at janitorial level,” the citizens claimed. When Nimba gained county status in 1964, Gbi-Doru was officially part of the county. However, in their latest petition to President Weah, they said joining Rivercess is no longer an option. President Weah, as part of his county tour, visited Gbi-Doru Administrative District, his maternal home, becoming the first President to ever meet with citizens of that part of Liberia.
