President Adama Barrow has since 18 November been touring the country but without one of his staunchest supporters.
Njie Manneh was supposed to be part of the president tour but the car he was supposed to travel in left him behind as the driver allegedly refused to answer his call.
“We are behind President Barrow but there are some people in his camp who do not appreciate this. I have been left behind and it’s all due to treachery and hypocrisy.
“No one sacrifices more than me when it comes to selling the president’s agenda. What we do is very risky. Talking is risky because we have seen the number of people who have been beaten because of it,” Mr Manneh said in an audio message.
President Barrow has so far held meetings in 17 Gambian towns as part of a 19 days nationwide tour. He is expected to speak at another 27 meetings to be held in different parts of the country.
