Boo Jarju on Sunday joined the National People Party 12 days after a rare interview with The Fatu Network – where he said President Barrow cannot do anything because the leaders he was entrusted with the responsibility have all betrayed the country.
“He (President Barrow) cannot do anything. The reason is the people who have been entrusted with that responsibility have all betrayed the Gambian nation. But because Barrow is at the helm of affairs, he is the only single person people have been talking about,” Mr Jallow told The Fatu Network on May 18.
Mr Jarju was a member of the UDP and later joined APRC. He has since left APRC too.
“I’m a silent person trying to watch over all what is happening. Because I do not go for a party just because I want to be in a political party set up. I want to see what it will take for the Gambian people to get what they want, what they opted for the past over 50 years. I have to see that in a political dispensation and then even if they person has only one person, I will be with that person,” Mr Jarju told The Fatu Network.
And now while speaking at a meeting with NPP officials on Sunday, Mr Jarju who lost to President Barrow as flagbearer for UDP in 2016 said: “Journalists have asked me where (political party) I belong but my words are powerful. I don’t give my word until when it’s time and the time is today.”
