Fanfare as President Barrow emerges out of State House to begin huge tour of the nation

Fanfare greeted President Adama Barrow as he emerged out of State House to commence a huge tour of the nation.

The president will spend the next 30 days travelling around the country to interact with Gambians. He has the constitutional authority to do so.

Large crowds converged in front of the State House amid singing and dancing as the president left the presidential compound to begin his journey Monday afternoon. The president waved and blew kisses at his supporters who wore his t-shirt.

The president is at this hour at the ferry terminal to cross to Barra.
