GDC national youth president MC Cham Jnr has fired back at Jokadu MP Salifu Jawo who has sensationally left the party and joined NPP.
Mr Jawo has claimed the behaviour of GDC leader Mamma Kandeh sparked his decision to abandon the party.
The party’s national youth president MC Cham Jnr has now come forward to react to Mr Jawo’s claims.
He said: “There are things we should not talk about. Because Salifu is not someone who can change anyone and take him to Barrow. The sign came at his village where he held a meeting and inform them he was going to Barrow. If he had any influence, he would take along that crowd with him to Barrow.
“He says people were calling and congratulating him but those where Barrow supporters but no GDC supporter would congratulate him. And that place [Jokadu] is a GDC stronghold. So it’s just Salifu who has left and he cannot take anyone with him. The important thing is for us to continue working.
“When we were forming GDC in 2016, we did without no MP, no councillors and we got 17 percent. Yes we need MPs, we need councillors but at the end of the day if they want to leave, nobody can force them to stay. But at the end of the day people are coming to join GDC. So Salifu is not someone to talk about. Let’s forget about Salifu, Salifu is nothing.”
