‘I Am Sorry If I Hurt You Knowingly Or Unkowingly’ Those are the words of Seedy S.K Njie, former Information Minister and one time spokesperson of The Alliance For Patriotic Reorientation & Construction (APRC) apologizing to Gambians for any wrong he may have caused anyone including his neighbors and friends during his time as politician with the former regime.
The former member of Parliament in renewing his total allegiance and unalloyed loyalty to President Barrow and his government called on all Gambian to unite, preach peace and work towards national reconciliation. Seedy Njie was speaking to Star Fm Radio Sunday afternoon.
‘I wish to call on all Gambians to desist from ranting insults and castigating our leaders and opponents on social media such as whatsApp and facebook. The act is against the ethics of Islam and Christianity and it will never help but rather breed chaos and violence.’ Seedy Njie said.
‘All should embrace President Barrow and his government to transform the country to the promised land’. He added that the National development Plan 2018-2021 seeks to transform the Gambia from a developing nation to a middle income country.
Seedy Njie said out of the $2.4 Billion of The NDP, 57% will go towards addressing infrastructure and energy, whilst the agriculture sector will provide irrigation and mechanisation. Youth employment, civil service sector reform, good governance, freedom of expression he added are all embeded in the NDP.
‘We now need all hands on deck to realise those gigantic dreams of the president’. Seedy Njie said
Responding to claims made by the National Assembly Member for Central Badibu, Hon. Saho, Seedy SK Njie said every Gambian is free to belong to any association, religion or political party of their choice as well as move freely within and outside the country.
‘Any attempt to disrupt such will be against the law and will be illegal’.
Seedy called on Hon. Saho to advise himself and his people to refrain from inciting violence.
‘As a UDP MP he should encourage cohesion and unison at his constituency and urge his people to support President Barrow’s agenda as a coalition partner rather than trying to incite violence’.
He said it is false information that he visited Njabakunda recently for a meeting. ‘ That has never happen’. But he was quick to add that the people of Njabakunda have every right to join the Barrow movement or any organisation of their choice.
On The President Barrow Youth Movement For National Development, the firebrand politician said the movement is across party lines and it aims to unite and encourage youths to rally behind president Barrow as an independent president and support his developmental agenda on a nonpartisan line.
‘I repeat I am 100% Barrow and will continue to support him always and I am ready to help him to make sure that he will not fail and will always stand for him and his Government because he is the president of the Gambia’. Seedy SK Njie told Star Fm Radio Sunday morning.
