Madi Jobarteh has carpeted President Adama Barrow over Ecowas’s decision to extend ECOMIG’s stay in The Gambia to December 2021 and transform the force into a police mission beyond 2021.
ECOWAS leaders including President Barrow converged over the weekend for their 58th ordinary session where the decision was reached.
But according to Madi Jobarteh, the decision undermijnes national unity and national security.
He said: “I hereby state my total and complete opposition to this decision by ECOWAS. I hereby condemn Pres. Adama Barrow for agreeing to such a terrible decision that undermines national security and national unity.
“The Gambia has a national police already and they are enough to ensure law and order. All they need is the right support from the President with effective leadership from the IGP and the Minister of Interior.”
