Abubakary Jawara has said he has no interest in politics after a t-shirt bearing his image emerged online.
A t-shirt bearing Mr Jawara’s image with the caption ‘Win Jawara’ has been making rounds online, suggesting the businessman is planning to take a shot at the presidency.
But he said: “To set the record straight. Am a business man, I have no interest in politics and I am not a politician, I have no interest in running for presidency 2021.
“Some people might have hope in me as a Gambian businessman, just like Mr Trump in America, but I am not interested in running for presidency.
“As a private citizen and a Gambian I will remain as a Gambian businessman and continue to support the Gambia government and the people of the Gambia.
“I am not behind the printing of the t-shirts printed with ‘Jawara 2021’ neither do I endorse it. It’s just ordinary citizens exercising their democratically rights and I can’t stop them.”
