One could characterise Barrow as having idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder or even delusional paranoia.
Based of his faulty judgement; mistaken. ‘’His delusional belief in the project’s merits never wavers.’’
Barrow was politically implanted at the statehouse to make the political ground fertile for political cultivation and he has no photosynthesis to help the political plants grow. All the aims and the intentions around Barrow were good of the people but Barrow has already possessed his unknown intentions that would shock the nation and beyond. When a nation with broken hopes, no inspiration no future for the population anyone who projected themselves to give them hope even as low as my little puppy at home in 2016, Gambians would vote for them. It was difficult to identify, scrutinise or establish what type of person Barrow was in 2016 because all we want was change of regime and hope the new Emperor Barrow would be much better.
When the formation of the Coalition 2016 was announced majority of Gambians have hopes and confidence for unity and oneness they have never had before in their all lives but that hopes would last for only 3 months. Barrow in Office immediately realised the powers and resources under his command too much he can do a lot more for himself and his families than he previously thought.
Barrow feels insecure and feel threatened by the people he should be making their dreams of better Gambia a reality. He would now have to distinguished between people under different categories depending which variant they are. Body cells and nerves in his head are not too galvanised and sophisticated enough to carry the load assigned to him by the people of The Gambia but he finds it extremely easy to focus on his own personal projects and his microscopic eyes identified types of people who would stand by his side to establish his desired Barrow Empire, but they will not last long with him. Our hopes for better Gambia have now become a despair and fact for new Gambia.
He is often irritated when citizens exercise their citizenry rights as prescribed in laws of The Gambia simply because he did not understand why we did regime change in 2016. In his own world he believed he is elected as a president to sit in that chair and citizens will watch him as an attracting object. He did not understand we elected him to office so he could apply the laws of the country where we can do lawful things that we could not do during the 22 years of dictatorship era. He did not understand that those laws are not owned by him, but he is only there to guard and supervise the full implementation for the public interest. He did not understand holding regular press conference to address any concern issues is a fundamental responsibility of any successful leadership thereby citizens are UpToDate in state affairs. Barrow is scared and paranoid whenever citizens speak about the challenges facing the state and the people. Instead of engaging the people, he embarks of attacks and defensive game, and he ended up ‘neither scoring a goal nor defending a goal.’
Barrow is very primitive and raw in politics and in lifestyle, and he is not inspired by good leaders for the good things they did for their people, but he is inspired by bad leaders and the quantity of wealth and power they possessed. Barrow is greedy, selfish and untruthful in all engagements that he has to do with The Gambian people. From the look and evidence, he possessed and owned more valuable resources than the country he hypothetical to serve. He earns more than the country. The only thing he did not earn more than us is our breath.
Barrow has politically grown in untruthfulness, deception, manipulation and above all divide and rule policy. His delusional behaviour is evident anytime he speaks to the public. He narrates extraterrestrial stories that never fits in the reality. He acts confused, he speaks confused and he does not understand the feelings and desires of The Gambian people. He is lonely and isolated. The only people surrounding him are only safeguarding their economic survival lines.
Barrow is politically bankrupt and falling apart. He misjudged the people and he believed in the old primitive politics that automatically put the incumbent at the advantage not realising we are in the 21st century politics where incumbency often suffers defeats in the hands of the oppositions. He calculated in his own way that he can move on easily and established his political party and win elections. But as soon as he realised this is not The Gambia he used to know, he changed his tactics to influence people, ‘money, regions and tribalism.’ The people around him could not help him win over peoples’ mind. The continuity of Barrow’s administration could mean a potential tribal and communal chaos is certain as that the only backbone for his political survival. Since Barrow became president, the only time he speaks the truth is ‘when he is not speaking.’ All his remarks are contradictory, abusive and often absurd. He often gives remarks in tribal appreciation to endorse a specific tribe. Barrow does not represent the core interest of the population and he does not care who feels it hard if his person enterprises are intact.
Barrow was elected to serve three years in which he was to create a new white blank page for The Gambia, but he has now entangled himself in a ‘filthy shallow hell’ awaiting harsh judgements.
I hope Gambians would comprehend by now that Barrow is incompetent, inconsistent, ignorant and he does not understand his job and he will not quit. He has loss hopes and he is psychologically accepting defeats on December 4th presidential elections.
