The Alliance for Patriotic, Reorientation and Construction has said The Gambia is bigger than the party and that it is not averse to the idea of former President Yahya Jammeh facing justice if such move is in line with the law.
Former President Jammeh is APRC’s supreme leader but relations have broken down between the former president and those who have been holding the fort for him led by Fabakary Tombong Jatta. He branded them traitors and summarily ‘sacked’ them when they struck a deal with President Adama Barrow in the build-up to last year’s presidential election.
The TRRC report has been subjected to President Adama Barrow and the report has seen the probe indict former President Jammeh for murders, torture and rapes.
Asked if APRC will accept whatever decision is made against Jammeh, party deputy spokesman Dodou Jah said: “If it [action against Jammeh] is in line with the laws of the land, who are we to say no? The country bigger than us as a party, it’s bigger than us as individuals and we as Gambians, we have nothing against the victims. We have been saying that.
“Justice will serve its course. But it’s not gonna be like people could bend it to the corner to settle scores with certain individuals or the former president, no. Let the law takes its course, we are not against justice and we will definitely support the victims ourselves.”
