APRC has announced it has expelled one of its trusted foot soldiers Sulayman Shyngle Nyassi, days after the UK-based Gambian called on former president Yahya Jammeh to dismiss APRC’s interim leader Fabakary Tombong Jatta.
Mr Nyassi had reportedly said in an audio that Fabakary Tombong Jatta, Yankuba Colley and Ousman Rambo Jatta should resign from their positions in APRC after accusing them of extorting money from the under privileged masses of ‘our country in the name of APRC’. He then called on former president Yahya Jammeh to fire them if they failed to resign.
On Thursday, APRC issued a statement announcing its interim leader Fabakary Tombong Jatta “acting under executive powers vested on him by the party constitution, and in consultation with the national executive committee, and founder of the party H.E Sheikh Prof. Alh. Dr. Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh (Babili Mansa)” has expelled Sulayman Shyngle Nyassi.
Mr Nyassi was expelled alongside Kittim Jarju of Germany, Nabou Saho of Sweden, Cllr. Lamin Ceesay Asampulo Atti Jammeh Kunda of Brikama and Amie Jammeh of Germany.
“Their expulsion is necessitated to redress their actions and behaviors pose threat of jeopardizing the harmony and unity of the party. By this action, all of them may not use the name of the party or act in any way representing APRC,” APRC said.
