However, as The Analyst reports, prominent residents of Advent Hill Community in Schiefflin Township, Lower Margibi County have quashed the claims in a letter addressed to the National Elections Commission where they claimed that Mr. McGill is not only a resident with property located at Advent Hill Community, but has contributed immensely to the upliftment of Margibi County, to the extent that the citizens have named a street in his honor.
In their letter addressed to the Chairperson of the National Elections Commission, Madam Davidetta Browne-Lansanah, on July 11, 2023, some eminent citizens of Advent Hill Community in Schiefflin Township, Margibi County said they were compelled to deny the fallacies of certain citizens acting on the orders of certain political figure bent on tarnishing the reputation of senatorial aspirant McGill for their own political gains.
“We pen this letter with an unwavering zeal in order to deny the fallacy and propagate the truth that has been awry concerning the domicile and residency of Hon.

“Permit us to elucidate his domicile in a befitting manner. The home within which Hon. McGill resides is situated in Advent Hill Community, Schiefflin Township, Lower Margibi County, Republic of Liberia. In fact, he is a close door neighbor to Mr. Emmanuel M.

“We are unwavering witnesses to the circulation of McGill’s life within this illustrious County. The towns, villages, streets and byways bear the indelible mark of his footsteps, as he traverses the length and breadth of the county in service to the inhabitants of Margibi County. To the extent where the residents of Schiefflin Township in 2019 decided to name in honor of Hon. Nathaniel McGill a street named and styled “McGill’s Avenue, Advent Hill Community, Schiefflin Township, RIA Highway”.
