President Adama Barrow waved as he grooved to a song by top musician Jaliba Kuyateh during the launching of National People’s Party at the Independence Stadium on Saturday.
Thousands of Gambians on Saturday gathered at the Independence Stadium in Bakau to witness the launching of NPP as a political party.
The president swung his body to the sides, right and left and vice versa, waving at the crowd of supporters – as Jaliba sang him a song.
Speaking in Mandinka, the president said NPP was still a baby but a baby that has puzzled many. He said the baby began walking and speaking as soon as it was born.
The president said: “It’s a baby that’s bewildering. It started talking and speaking as soon as it was born. It went to Niamina took part in the wrestling there and won. It also went to Jokadu and won.
“So anyone who is a wrestler should be mindful of this wrestler. This wrestler is a very strong wrestler and it has a new wrestling kit on and on December 4, 2021 it will fight and it will win. Today’s launching has shown how December 4 will look like.”
