UDP spokesperson Almami Taal has doubled down on his comment he doesn’t know anybody in GMC aside Mai Fatty.
Taal and GMC have been engaged in a back-and-forth after the former sarcastically asked Gambian Talent Promotion’s Pa Ousman Joof who else was in GMC aside Mai Fatty.
GMC’s executive slapped back at Taal describing his comments as ‘impudent’ and demanded that he apologise to the party.
But speaking to The Fatu Network in an exclusive interview, Taal said he was just showing his ignorance when he said what he said.
“I was just showing my ignorance. I don’t know anybody else. It has nothing to do with GMC perse,” Taal said.
He added: “I don’t have anything to apologise. I think they are the ones who should apologise to Gambians. I asked a very simple question, who else is in GMC? I don’t know. Mai Fatty I happen to know very well. He’s my friend. I consider him a friend. We were at the Bar together.
“What I’m trying to explain is that if you look at the parliament, there is no member of parliament from GMC, there is no councillor from GMC. And I repeat, apart from Honourable Mai Ahmad Fatty I don’t know anybody from the GMC. This is maybe my fault.”
