Mamma Kandeh has said that President Adama Barrow is a traitor.
The GDC leader said President Barrow and the United Democratic Party plotted to oust other coalition stakeholders.
Kandeh was speaking at the weekend at a party rally held in Brikama.
He said: “Regarding this five years, Adama Barrow wants it more than Ousainou Darboe. So if there is any treachery, Adama first committed treachery. Let’s speak the truth. When UDP was choosing Adama Barrow [to lead], Ousainou was in jail.
“It was Adama who spoke to Halifa Sallah, Fatoumatta Tambajang, Isatou Touray, Henry Gomez, Mai Fatty, Hamat Bah. Adama spoke with all these people and they agreed. So why would Adama stand and say the president is UDP, vice president is UDP, speaker [of the national assembly] is UDP?
“It’s Adama who said this, and he knew fully well that he resigned from the UDP. So if there is any treachery, he’s the one who conspired with UDP to betray others. Treachery is bad. It was them [Barrow and UDP] who were scheming against others, now they are head-butting one another.
“So if UDP is despicable, Adama is more despicable. Because Adama knows him alone, no one knows him in The Gambia. So it is by the Grace of God and the grace of UDP that people know him. Because small as is Mamma Kandeh, he couldn’t defeat me in Jimara, where we all come from.”
