Seedy Njie has slammed as ‘biggest lie of the 21st century’ claims by GDC national youth president that 300 supporters of NPP cross-carpeted to GDC.
In a rebuttal sent to The Fatu Network, Mr Njie said: “I read a news article on The Fatu Network purportedly from GDC’s MC Cham Jr which is accompanied by photo indicating that over 300 NPP Supporters in Sarre Abdou defected to GDC this, is the biggest lie of the 21st Century.
“The photo posted shows a crowd of less than 300 including GDC’s mobile. It defied sense and logic to address a gathering fifty people and claimed 300 switched allegiances is the height of deception and falsehood. We’ve checked our records and officials on the ground none of our party officials from National level to village level knew the said Chumban Bopp.
“I can safely say not a single person has ever defected from NPP to GDC. Politics of deception is history in this country. This fake news is baffling and incomprehensible no one in his right sense will move from the biggest and a major party like NPP to a dying party such as the GDC that virtually operate as a brief case party.
“Gambians prides themselves with the National People’s Party which is development oriented, tolerant, peaceful, law abiding, respect for people’s liberties and rights. This is false, and millions miles away from being the truth. Gambians choose hope, honor, dignity, freedom, policies, programs and unison over fear, intimidation, bullying, tribalism, insults and terrorization.
“The mantra of “Nyato taa “ is the guiding principle of our Party leader His Excellency President Adama Barrow who is preoccupied in improving the livelihood of Gambian. The GDC’s false publication can best be described as ‘fooling oneself’.”
