The chairman of the banned Three Years Jotna group has laughed at claims he’s a rebel, as he looked back at his failed campaign against President Adama Barrow’s rule.
Three Years Jotna last year dominated the headlines amid its sustained campaign for President Barrow to leave power, pinning it on a three years deal the Gambian leader had agreed to.
In December last year, the group protested for President President to resign the following month.
The group took to the streets a second time last January but the protested foundered spectacularly after police cracked down on the protesters. The group was later banned.
The chairman of the group Abdou Njie looking back at the events insisted they’d achieved their objective: to destroy President Barrow politically.
“We had achieved our aim and that’s to destroy Adama and we have done that,” Mr Njie told The Fatu Network on Thursday.
On claims he’s a rebel leading a rebel movement, he said laughing: “Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a rebel.”
