Suku Singhateh has explained the reason for why he renounced UDP and joined the National People’s Party.
Singhateh dramatically ditched UDP in February and quickly turned off all his phones. A tug of war then broke out between UDP and NPP over which party Suku really belonged to.
But speaking at Kerr Ardo in Lower Badibou on Friday, Suku said: “You know in the past I was supporting a government and that enabled me to do the things I did. When government changed, I was in UDP and we came here. But by then President Barrow was in UDP. And we told you, you should always support the government, it’s government that can do something (development).
“But today, UDP is not government. So if I had asked you to support government and for 22 years you stood by me, if I want to embark on any campaign, it should be based on that same thing. That we should support the government. And God has enabled us all to be supporting that government today. I’m in NPP.”
