The national assembly member for Serrekunda West Madi Ceesay has said President Adama Barrow deceived Gambians ‘by promising them he will resign after three years.’
Seven political parties backed President Adama Barrow at the 2016 presidential election but Mr Barrow has run roughshod on every tenet of the political grouping. A key agreement is for him to do three years and step aside but President Barrow has announced his plan to be in office for five years ‘whether one likes it or not.’
In an audio message on Wednesday, Madi Ceesay slammed the president for deceiving Gambians saying: “My position is that knowing very well that he President Adama Barrow is not going to honour the three years but knowing very well too that he President Adama Barrow cannot get the presidential candidature of the coalition without resigning from his party agreed to resign. I called that politics of deception.
“President Adama Barrow deceived the electorates by promising them that he will resign at the end of three years as agreed with his colleagues and all I am standing for is for him to respect that promise as a matter of morality.”
