State House media officer Sanna Camara has resigned as a state media officer after being pushed out of the presidency.
Mr Camara had since 2018 been working at State House as a media officer – and has contributed a lot in supporting the president in terms of his communication.
He announced he’s resigning from government service on Tuesday, a day after he was removed from State House and redeployed to the Department of Information Service as News Editor.
“Having come from a private media background, I joined government purposely to contribute to strengthening democracy, national interests, truth and justice for the people of the Gambia.
“Evidently, those values no longer hold meaning in running matters of the state. I therefore have no option but to tender my resignation effective today,” he said in a statement posted to his Facebook page.
The Fatu Network has received reports Mr Camara’s removal from State House came at the recommendation of Director of Press and Public Relations Amie Bojang Sissoho. Mrs Bojang Sissoho is yet to respond to a request for comment.
