Lamin Tamba Brands Jammeh A 'lion' After Ex-dictator Shocked Nation With Mass Sackings And Naming New Leaders For APRC

GAMBIA-POLITICS-VOTE-UNREST — Incumbent Gambian President Yahya Jammeh listens to one of his aides in Banjul on November 29, 2016, during the closing rally of the electoral campaign of the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC). More than 880,000 voters are expected to cast their ballots when the west African country goes to the polls on December 1, 2016. Jammeh has won four elections with his ruling Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction, following a 2002 constitutional amendment lifting term limits. Rights bodies and media watchdogs including Reporters Without Borders (RSF) accuse Jammeh of cultivating a "pervasive climate of fear" and of crushing dissent against his regime, one cause of the mass exodus of Gambian youths to Europe. / AFP / MARCO LONGARI (Photo credit should read MARCO LONGARI/AFP/Getty Images)

APRC No Alliance Movement diaspora official Lamin Tamba has asked Gambians who think Jammeh fears any being to think again.

Jammeh shocked the nation Friday when he addressed his supporters in Kanilai where he told them he had not given his consent and blessing to APRC’s alliance with NPP. He also fired the leaders of APRC who entered into an alliance with NPP and named new leaders.

Lamin Tamba who had all along insisted Jammeh never agreed to what the leaders of the party did wrote: “Leadership is not always about taking popular decisions. It’s about taking the best available option no matter how difficult.

“If you think Jammeh fears any being or situation, think again. The man wears his heart on his sleeves #lion.”
