Confirmation of Suku Singhateh’s defection to National People’s Party was only a matter of time and when it came on Monday evening, there was quietude. At least among those who went about denying the man’s defection.
The former MP sent a delegation to the leadership of UDP telling them he has left the party. Some UDP supporters have been reacting;
Yunus Hydara: “It is unfortunate to see him go but we wish him well. However, the UDP remains resolute and indispensable in its pursuit of creating a better and prosperous Gambia for all.”
Bubacarr Sidiq Jammeh: “I thank Mr. Suku Singhateh for his contributions to the cause of the UDP during his stay and also wishing him good luck on his new endeavor. In his absence, the UDP will continue doing what we’ve been doing since 1996, and that is to fight for the salvation of our country from the clutches of bad governance, unbridled corruption, and chronic poverty. We are once again calling on Gambians of all walks of life to join us in this fight. Aluta continua.”
