Imam and writer Baboucarr Jeng called himself the ‘right hand’ and asked Gambians to take back their government.
Jeng has announced plans he will run for president in the December presidential election. He is the latest Gambian to disclose he is taking a shot at the presidency.
He told The Fatu Network in an exclusive interview: “Our programs are so realistic and they’re so powerful and it involves everyone. And don’t get me wrong: this is a crusade.
“Every Gambian within and abroad, if you have love for country, now is the time for us to take back our government and put it in the right hand, which is the individual sitting right here.”
According to Jeng, The Gambia at the moment needs “a leader who has self-awareness, a high level of consciousness of country, a deep level of spirituality, fear of God and trust in him”.
He will make his official declaration on June 12.
