After photos of kids in NPP t-shirts surfaced online welcoming President Barrow upon his return from his nationwide tour, his former adviser Mai Ahmad Fatty took to his social media calling out President Barrow and his NPP for what he describes as intentional child exploitation, and NPP is clapping back.
A staunch supporter of President Barrow and his NPP called out the GMC leader, describing his angry outburst as ‘attention seeking and desperate politics’. Lamin S Demba added that NPP as a political party played no part in gathering the kids for the Presidents welcoming and insists it was at their families own accord.
‘’Mai Fatty is just attention seeking and we would not respond to him. If he was as concerned as he put it to his timeline, he should not stop at raising concerns, he should investigate and try implored the Law as he rightfully put it. But He knows if he does that, he will eventually come to the indisputable fact that NPP as a party has NO hands in to this arrangement, but the will of the families portrayed in this picture’’
‘’ Mai, we know you are bitter since the constitution does not make it through the parliament, which is so dear to your heart. And we know the reason behind your whimpering. I am on record to have defended you when all negative allegations are coming on your way in regard to your sacking, even though I never ascribed to your political ideology. But trying to gain political scores out of such triviality is desperate politics’’
‘’I keenly wait for you to sue the families of these children portrayed here as contrary to your perception, NPP as a political party has nothing to do with this, it is done at their families own accord. Looking at pictures of your own party congresses, underage children are visibly seen in the crowd, your concern would have been taken seriously today has it been you sent those children out of you crowd then. Mai, we want fair play in politics’’
