One of the last remaining coalition leaders in President Adama Barrow’s government has lifted the lid on why he is still keeping his job.
President Adama Barrow has since his 2017 inauguration ruthlessly dismissed a number of powerful coalition political leaders that ensured his 2016 election victory.
The president first stunned the nation in 2017 when he sacked GMC’s Mai Fatty as interior minister. And as the years crept by, the president sacked the likes of Omar Jallow, Fatoumatta Jallow Tambajang, political father Ousainou Darboe and Henry Gomez.
Hamat Bah remains one of the few leaders who have not faced the full force of President Barrow’s axe.
In an exclusive interview with The Fatu Network on Tuesday, the tourism and culture minister said the secret behind him staying long enough is ‘I don’t believe that the job is mine by force’.
“I don’t believe the presidency has to be Hamat Bah come what may,” the NRP leader said.
