Lower Badibou National Assembly Member Alhagie Jawara has argued the hatred and hypocrisy directed at President Adama Barrow has been the bane of his development programmes.
Speaking at a meeting in Niumi Sitanunku on Saturday, MP Jawara said: “President Barrow faced hatred and hypocrisy. If this wasn’t the case, his work would have passed what he has done. I want to ask my people in Upper and Lower not to allow to be at loggerheads with other tribes.
“It’s time to tell each other the truth. My Niumi and Mandinka people, let’s not allow for them to sow discord between us and other tribes.
“There are people who said every good thing about Adama [Barow] in 2016 and 2017. Now that they have fallen out with Adama, they said us MPs should also fall out with him.
“They caused him a lot of trouble, they caused harm to his development programmes. If this wasn’t the case, he would not compete with anyone in this country.”
