Jarra Central MP Kebba Jallow has put to rest speculation he is no longer a member of opposition Gambia Democratic Congress.
The MP’s membership of GDC had remained shrouded in mystery but he on Tuesday declared his full support for President Adama Barrow and his NPP party.
Speaking at the president’s meeting in Jarra Japineh, Jallow explained how he did not see eye to eye with GDC leader Mamma Kandeh sparked by the latter’s attempt to micro-manage him. He said his first fight with Mr Kandeh was when the GDC leader asked him not to attend President Barrow’s meeting and another being on the local government amendment bill.
He said elsewhere in his speech: “Dr Sabally is my witness, he’s here sitting. He came to the Jalangbereh meeting. A lot of serious things were said to me. He told me hold firmly to what you’re holding to now (NPP).
“He said previously they didn’t know the reason why I was supporting President Adama Barrow’s development agenda. I told him it’s not Adama Barrow’s programs I am supporting, that I am supporting Jarra Central and Gambia’s programs.
“But he is right. It’s Adama Barrow I am supporting because Adama Barrow is talking about what will take Jarra Central forward and Gambia forward.”
