Tourism Minister Hamat Bah has insisted the NPP’s by-election wins were brought upon by the work of politicians, telling his fellow ministers they must be politicians if they want to continue in their roles.
“…I therefore want to reiterate my position, if you want to continue being a minister you must be a politician. This victory was brought by the politician. Without this victory we would not have been here today. Every cabinet minister must be ready to be a politician on the campaign trail,” Mr Bah said late on Monday during NPP’s victory celebration in Banjul.
Earlier on, the tourism minister asked politicians to desist from politics of insults and character assassination and instead begin to engage in politics of issues and development.
‘’Do not bring insults, abuses and character assassination to Adama Barrow and the National People’s Party. Let us speak to unite the Gambian people. God chose President Barrow to lead us and He will continue leading as long as God says so with the will of The Gambian people. Stop using platforms to insult people,” he said.
