‘Stop saying things that are not true’: Essa Faal denies ever saying he is the most educated

Independent presidential aspirant Essa Faal has denied ever saying he is the most educated among the country’s political leaders.

Speaking in Abuko on Tuesday to supporters, the flamboyant lawyer said: “I heard people saying I said I’m the most educated and I’m the richest. Where did I ever say that? Stop saying things that are not true.

“I only said I am educated and anyone who disputes that should come forward and tell me.

“But I never said I am the best in terms of education. I only said if we are choosing we should choose those who are educated and that I am educated.”
