Nyang Njie said ‘congratulations in advance Mr President’ as he reacted to claims by the president’s supporters of him already securing the December election.
Gambians will vote in a presidential election in December this year, the first presidential election of the post-Jammeh dictatorship. Supporters of President Barrow who will seek re-election say he will win the election.
“Well, that’s good for him and congratulations in advance Mr President,” commentator Nyang Njie reacting to the claims told The Fatu Network.
The commentator however insisted the president’s ambition when he came to power should have been to unite the country.
He said: “But Mr President, remember from whence you came and what the people of this have done for you. If you do so, you will make sure you find us a bridge for us to cross. President Barrow must have been the one who united the country.
“Why? If you look at the total votes that Kandeh and Jammeh got, this country is highly polarised and highly divided. So his ambition should have been to bring our diverse peoples together. But Gambia more divided today than ever before and I cry in my heart because we suffered so much to get to where we are today.”
