By Alhagie Jobe: Gambia’s outgoing President Yahya Jammeh has appointed a Nominated National Assembly member as the new Minister of Communication and Information Infrastructure with immediate effect, a Press Release read on State TV reveals.
Seedy Njie, who for the past years has been a nominated member in the bogus and rubber stamp National Assembly of The Gambia replaces Sheriff Bojang who jumped down from the sinking regime of Defiant Dictator Yahya Jammeh who refuses to handover power peacefully to the democratically elected President Adama Barrow.
Mr Bojang is indeed the first Cabinet minister to desert from the government since the political drama began in December when Mr Jammeh lost the election, conceded defeat and later reverse his decision prompting international condemnation.
Meanwhile, as Jammeh is still defiant busy appointing and sacking civil servants, the sub-regional bloc on the other hand is also working to ensure that Mr Jammeh leaves on January 19th when his term ends. Today, a meeting was convened in Nigeria hosted by President Buhari who is also the chief mediator in the political crisis.
At the end of the meeting, it was resolved that President Buhari leads a delegation to Banjul on Wednesday, January 11th, 2017, to meet defiant outgoing President Jammeh for what they called ‘a final effort’ in resolving the political impasse.
