President Adama Barrow has said a lot of people did not get buried thanks to his 2016 defeat of former President Yahya Jammeh.
Speaking at a meeting in Soma on Tuesday, the president insisted those his victory saved are now the ones who have appointed him an enemy.
The president said: “When he (Jammeh) fell, some people shouting in this country [today], Billahi Wallahi, if President Barrow didn’t win, we would have buried a lot of people in this country.
“But those are the people who have now started a big fight against me, making me an enemy. I am no one’s enemy.
“I’m just here for work and it’s just work I will do. So I would like for the people of Jarra Soma and LRR to ensure those who are beating their chest and saying LRR is their stronghold to end.”
Jammeh in 2016 jailed UDP leader Ousainou Darboe and his top aides for three years; President Barrow released them from jail shortly after defeating Jammeh.
Darboe is now one of President Barrow’s biggest critics.
