President Adama Barrow has lavished praise on Hamat Bah saying the tourism minister told him not to bother himself travelling to Niamina because the NPP’s campaign was safe in his hands.

At NPP victory celebration in Banjul on Monday, the president said of his loyal minister: “I will not forget my minister who is Hamat NK Bah. From the beginning of the campaign to the end, he was in Niamina.

“As things went progressed, I told him I wanted to come to Niamina but he told me, ‘President Barrow do not muddy your name, I alone is enough in Niamina’. He said ‘no matter who comes here, we will win Niamina’.

“And the promise they made they have fulfilled. So I should not speak long, I should just show my joy.”
