Bennie Dee Warner (born 30 April 1935) is a Liberian politician and clergyman. He served as the country's Vice President from 1977 to 1980.
Born on 30 April 1935 in Careysburg District, Montserrado County, Warner was a bishop in the United Methodist Church for four years before he was plucked from relative obscurity to become Vice President in 1977, succeeding James Edward Greene. Warner was attending a conference of Methodist bishops in Nashville, Indiana when a military coup led by Samuel Doe overthrew the Liberian government on 12 April 1980. Warner attempted to form a government in exile in Ivory Coast to challenge the coup makers. A month after he was evicted from political power, he was removed from ecclesiastical power: Methodist minister D. Sieh Doe proclaimed the bishopric vacant, and for six months the seat was empty and the church run by Warner's administrative assistant.
Black Marks on White Paper, a documentary based on the life of Bennie D. Warner was produced in 2013.

Yes Tolbert days was one of Liberia best days

Well Said, VP Warner. This is what I called government official, not these current jokers we have now as government officials. You can see the professionalism in him when addressing issues. Indeed, Tubman & Tolbert government there were well educated and intelligent people served Liberia. Not weeds smoker we have now in the power destroying our beautiful beloved country.

Tolbert was very clearly a wise man who was taking Liberia on the right path. He was giving more rights to the natives, developing the economy and poorer areas, and was also just about to start a low housing project with Libya before he was overthrown. He was certainly Liberia's best and most progressive President in history. Tolbert's overthrow and the regimes that followed it can be blamed for Liberia's downfall. They single handedly caused Liberia's two civil wars and general political and economic instability. How can we be surprised that Liberia is going through a "brain drain" when to this day all the wise leaders get killed or imprisoned, and the corrupt get to stay at the top? No wonder Liberia is so poor, because the leaders care about themselves and nothing more.

If Liberia could decentralize its political and economic system, it will create more empowerment for ordinary Liberians to develop their God given potential. Liberia’s system of governing gives too much power to the executive branch to monopolize the political and economic system of Liberia. Let the former V.P. said, more autonomy were to be given in electing superintendents and commissioners etc.

The issue with Liberia is, we the people seems to have problem with all President that governor. No wonder Liberia remains as poor it is today after 175 years. President William R.Tolbert had the vision and passion for the country but yet was killed ignorantly by uneducated people( brain-washers). Today we regret realizing those were good values for development. I’m glad that every Liberian is craving development as we compare neighboring countries and outside of Africa.

Nothing against Bennie Warner, but he had no political background to be Vice-President. He was the beloved native born Bishop of the Episcopal Church of Liberia, when President Tolbert, who believed himself head of the National Baptist Church, chose him he was looking for a religious man not a political potential rival. So when the coup erupted Warner did not have the political clout to convince the U.S to stage a restoration. I believe had Tolbert chosen Senator Jackson Doe in 1977 as his V.P, The U.S would have intervened in the 1980 Samuel Doe military coup and restored the government.

@@figomacboy4779No relations. Samuel Kanyon Doe and Jackson Fiah Doe were not family. Infact Samuel Kanyon Doe came from Grand Gedeh County. While Jackson Fiah Doe came from Nimba County.
