Imam Baba Leigh, the Imam of Kanifing East Central Mosque has insisted that exiled former President Yahya Jammeh killed more Jolas than any other tribe during his 22 year reign.
Imam Leigh made this assertion on Saturday during his Eid Al-Fitr (Koriteh) sermon at the Kanifing East Central Mosque.
According to him, Jolas are good and decent people but only former President Yahya Jammeh was the rotten potato that tarnished their image.
He thanked all Gambians for the join efforts in kicking the monster out and restoring democracy in the Smiling Coast.
“Yahya Jammeh was removed by all Gambians – those in the diaspora and especially those in the country because they voted” he said.
He said Gambians should be grateful to Allah for the great change in regime and be patient with the new government saying ‘we should not expect magic within six months’.
He said when Jammeh was in power, all the degree holders where no were to be seen but President Barrow put his life on the line to challenge him. Today, he said everyone wants to take credit for that.
