President Adama Barrow has promised a fight to anyone who attempts to be a barrier between him and the work he’s intent on carrying out as president.
Speaking in Niani, CRR on Saturday, the president said: “I don’t have any interest than to work in developing the country. But anyone who tries to come between me and that work, It will be well worth for me for us to ourselves fight to death but I will do that work. But I want all Gambians to join me. I will not be able to do the work alone.
“I’m your bayye faal. Whatever you want is what I will do. There is no one here who will claim he loves Gambia more than me. Because I will not be able to repay what you have done for me. Gambia has two million people but you went ahead to vote for me as your leader. So I will not be able to repay you. The only thing I can do for you is to work for you.”
The president had earlier on pricked the minds the people of Niani to his 2016 campaign speech in Niani when he told them the battle was Niani’s because Darboe was in jail.
“When I stood for election in 2016, I was here in Niani and spoke for between 45 minutes to one hour to tell you that it’s your son who’s arrested and in jail. That the battle was a battle for Niani. And that anyone who is in The Gambia and taking part in the battle was helping Niani.
“But some cried over my that speech. The people of Niani then stood by me. I did lose CRR but I didn’t lose Niani [as a region]. So all you said here we will look at solving them. My technicians are here and we will look at some of your roads to see if we could construct them,” the president said.
