‘Nobody knows if that person will ever be president’: Barrow uses meeting at Darboe’s backyard to call on Gambians to dry their clothes under his sun

By Lamin Njie

President Adama Barrow has called on Gambians to dry their clothes under a sun they have seen rather than chasing after something that may never arrive.

During a visit of far-flung Gambia which lasted for 10 days, President Barrow held a meeting in Laminkoto, CRR. UDP leader Ousainou Darboe hails from Niani in CRR.

Mr Barrow said at the Laminkoto NPP rally: “Some would tell you, ‘wait until my government comes, when I become president, I will do do this and that for you’. Who knows whether that person would ever become president? No one knows what a pregnant woman will give birth to.

“Whether or not that person would be president no one knows that. So dry your clothes under the sun that you have seen already. I became president when I didn’t have a party. So if I form a party, it you the Gambians who own the party.”
