Jimara MP Alhagie Sowe has revealed her mom was rushed to the hospital when someone informed her he has abandoned GDC for NPP.
Reports swirled on Tuesday Sowe flipped.
But speaking to The Fatu Network, the MP said ‘it’s something not true’ the reports of him leaving GDC.
“I think it was the chief who said that I cross-carpeted and he spoke before me. But when I took the floor, I made it clear I cannot just get up and join NPP. I have a family and I was voted in by the people of Jimara under the ticket of GDC. So before I jump to any political party, I have to make consultation with the people of Jimara including my family,” Sowe said.
According to the MP, the decision for him to leave GDC for any other political party not just NPP lied with his electorate.
“It’s left to the people of Jimara. They’re the people who voted me in, so I cannot say no to them,” Sowe said. He said he has started consulting his people but the majority want him to stay in GDC.
Sowe’s mother suffered an attack and was rushed to the hospital upon hearing her son has left GDC.
The MP said: “Because when my mother heard the news, they had to rush her to the hospital this night. When somebody told her I declared myself to join NPP. She was so unhappy and had an attack and they rush her to the hospital.
“I don’t think it’s something that will be possible as at now. Because I don’t want to [go against] my mother’s decision and my electorate.”
The MP also dismissed reports ministers have been coming to his house to sweet talk him into joining NPP.
“I also saw on the social media that ministers and others are coming to my compound to take me to NPP. That’s not true. I never discussed with any minister to take me to NPP. Barrow never sent any delegation to me and what I said at the meeting is that I am going to support Barrow’s agenda. We are all from the same constituency but that doesn’t mean I am going NPP,” he said.
Meanwhile, the MP has taken time to thank President Barrow for the development works he has done in Jimara particularly electricity.
