President Adama Barrow has said democracy being implemented in The Gambia exceeds that of the United States, asking Gambians to balk at those trying to deceive them into a fresh struggle.
Gambians fought and struggled throughout against the 22 years rule of former President Yahya Jammeh. President Adama Barrow since falling out with key coalition stakeholders has also seen appreciable opposition against his rule.
But speaking in Basse Dampha Kunda on Wednesday, the president insisted the struggle for country was now over.
“Gambia’s struggle is over. Those fighting now are doing it for their own selfish interest. Or those supporting them are fighting for one man only because they are not fighting for Gambia any more. Gambia’s struggle is over,” the president said.
According to the president, the reason “I say this is because yesterday they say there was no democracy in this country but the democracy we have in Gambia today surpasses even America’s democracy”.
“The freedom in Gambia, it’s kind cannot be found anywhere else in the world today. The development taking place in Gambia today has never before been achieved throughout Gambia’s history. So what are you fighting for still? So let no one poison your minds, telling you rubbish statements and you join a pointless fight,” the president said.
