President Barrow makes it clear his addresses to the nation are done in the national interest

President Adama Barrow has emphasised his addresses to the nation are done in the national interest, as he on Friday evening spoke on the coronavirus crisis.

“I appreciate that many of you would like me to address the nation often and I want to assure you I will do so whenever the need arises,” the president said in a 12-minute address.

The president then added: “I must emphasize however that the most important thing is taking collective action to enforce the messages in my addresses on the pandemic and the advice by health experts.

“Whenever I address the nation, I do so in the nation interest and every law abiding citizen and resident of the country should abide by our pronouncements.”
