President Adama Barrow has told citizens in Foni he wants everyone to board his bus – but warned those who will be looking out for their personal interest not to get on his bus.
Speaking in Bambara in Foni Jarol on Monday evening, the president said: “In 2016, it was Noah’s ark that I came with. It was a case of you either enter the ship or get drowned. That’s what I said in 2016.
“This year, I have a bus. I want everyone to enter the bus. But the bus has rules: anyone who wants to work for the country we want you to board the bus.
“[But] anyone who knows it’s about your personal interest, we will get you out if you enter.”
The president told the people of Foni they were now scheduled to get every piece of development they failed to get during the rules of former presidents Jawara and Jammeh.
“You will get it all during President Barrow’s government,” the president said.
