President Adama Barrow has been mocked online after a video of him confidently praising a man but forgetting his name got posted to Facebook.
President Barrow said ‘I forget the name’ after lavishing praise on Bakau resident Karamo Jadama. The president was speaking at his meeting held in Bakau.
“We have a very good elder of ours here in Bakau. Someone who is not a native of Bakau, he’s a native of Badibu. He has done well in Badibu but has also done well in Bakau. Who’s that person? I forget the name,” President Barrow said as he sought help. The president later said ‘it’s Karama Jadama’ after an interpreter intervened.
The 36-second video was first posted to Facebook by Bulli Sowe and What’s On Gambia later reposting it. It racked up thousands of views with most users mocking the president.
