The chairman of Operation Three Years Jotna has called on Gambians to knock back at getting played by political leaders.
OTYJ on Saturday held a rally in Brikama as part of its campaign to force President Barrow to leave power in December in line with the coalition agreement.
Speaking at the event, the group’s chairman Abdou Njie said the whole world will appreciate in December that Gambians are not fools.
“If our leaders want to play with us or they have taken the decision to play with us, we cannot do anything about that but we can put them in their place and they too cannot do anything about that,” Mr Njie told the crowd.
OTYJ is out to keep President Barrow to account over his pledge he will step down after a three-year term.
The group was formed last year after it emerged President Barrow was contemplating clinging to power until 2021.
According to Mr Njie, Gambians are not fools and ‘if you consider us to be fools, we will show you we are not fools.’
“Do you know that Adama (Barrow) will step down [in December]? If the three years comes, the whole world will know that Gambians are not fools,” Njie added.
