President Adama Barrow has returned fire to critics who say he sleeps on the job blasting that the comment comes from hypocrites.
Speaking in Sami while laying the foundation stone of the electricity project for Laminkoto and Diabugu-Batapa on Saturday, the president said: “They ridicule me in this country… that you have a president that is chicken-hearted, a president that doesn’t talk, a president that is not educated, a president that sleeps but on the 4th of December, I will wake up.
“I do hear these statements but all these statements are hypocrisy statements. The reason hypocrisy is bad is because you deny what you see or know. And those who understand Mandinka say a hypocrite never stops until he sleeps or dies.
“When I was standing as a candidate in 2016, all these people saying I’m faint-hearted where all hiding under the bed. So one would be lying if he says the knife that killed an elephant cannot kill a chicken.”
