Veteran politician Omar Amadou Jallow otherwise called OJ has slammed UDP leader Ousainou Darboe for fighting over the presidency with his son President Adama Barrow opining: ‘that’s where lack of faith stops’.
OJ insisted President Barrow is a good man who did everything for the UDP leader when he freed him from incarceration.
OJ speaking at President Barrow’s rally in Serrekunda on Monday said: “I ask those supporting UDP to think again. Adama Barrow is a good person, he is righteous, he respects elders. When Ousainou was arrested and imprisoned, we had our meetings and selected Adama Barrow within three months. We made him our candidate and he won and became president.
“Ousainou Darboe has sought that position for 20 years and couldn’t get it. He is a good person and a good citizen. Assan Musa Camara looked for it and couldn’t get it. Sheriff Dibba looked for it and couldn’t get it and others and they were all citizens. Adama Barrow looked for it in three months and got it.
“When he got it, he took you out from prison, he called you his father and you said he is the Prophet Musa. That anyone who attacks him you will break the person’s eye. He made you foreign minister, he made you vice president. He goes with whatever you say or do to him. So what more did Ousainou Darboe want in this world? Your son comes and gets a position that you could not get for 20 years. So now why would you fight with your son? This is where lack of faith in God stops.”
