Brikama Area Council Chairman Sheriffo Sonko has rendered thanks to God for his victory against United Democratic Party.
Sonko came out on top after UDP sued the IEC and himself for by-elections to be held in the chairmanship of Brikama Area Council after the party sacked him. But the Supreme Court last month ruled in Sonko’s favour by saying the law UDP relied on was faulty.
And reacting to the development, Sonko told The Fatu Network: “I feel very relieved and relaxed. Why? Because my family was very disturbed. UDP has caused a very big problem in my family. My family members, maybe some of them did not have the strong faith like I may have.
“[They] were afraid that our breadwinner is going to lose his job. So I’m relieved the way they were happy that day. So I thank Allah for that victory. God will never support those kinds of things. The war against me was so evil, it was personal and this personal attack went into the party.”
