Abubacarr Tambadou on Friday said ‘personal reasons’ triggered his resignation as attorney general and minister of justice. His exit after three and a half years in the role has divided opinion. The Fatu Network brings you what Gambians have been saying about the nation’s former AG.
Momodou Sabally:
“And therefore Gambians must thank God that the worst Attorney General and Minister of Justice in our history has abdicated his office.
“It is a well calculated egocentric move aimed at scoring maximum benefit for himself and nothing else. But it is indeed good riddance of a corrupt and inept pseudo-Lawyer with no track record of professional excellence.
“What ought to be done right now is to set up a commission of enquiry into how Ba Tambedou handled the shady disposal of Yahya Jammeh’s assets. Such a commission would have had as principal witnesses, Ba Tambedou, Alpha Barry and a certain fair coloured lady.
“But Barrow is not interested in truth or justice. Ba Tambedou has freed the jungulars, lost every single case brought against government during his tenure as Justice Minister.
“He set up the Human Rights Commission and led them to be the first institution to recognise and promote homosexuality as a right in our country.
“Now the UN has rewarded him with a job for promoting LGBT rights in The Gambia.
“Good riddance. But let the National Assembly ask Ba Tambedou to present a bank statement of the account into which proceeds of the sale of Jammeh’s assets were lodged. This is a very critical assignment that needs to be done before Ba Tambedou leaves the shores of our country.”
