Gambia Alliance for National Unity leader Sheikh Tijan Hydara has broken his silence over how former President Yahya Jammeh treated him.
Jammeh last month ordered his supporters to rally behind Mr Hydara and his GANU leader. A few days later, Mr Hydara’s joy turned to disappointment as Jammeh asked his supporters to form a new alliance with GDC and select Mamma Kandeh as their standard-bearer.
Mr Hydara was conspicuously absent at an MoU signing ceremony at Baobab Hotel that should have featured GDC, the No Alliance Movement and GANU.
The Brufut-born told The Fatu Network exclusively: “President Jammeh has a right to change his mind and I have a right to change my mind, whether to work with the APRC or not.
“So if Yahya Jammeh changes his mind and say ‘okay, work with Mamma Kandeh’ and I feel like I don’t want to do that for obvious reasons, I think that is up to me.”
