The opposition APRC have welcomed the idea of conferring a national peace award on former president Yahya Jammeh.
Concerned Gambia Social Welfare, a group whose members are mostly living in the diaspora will later today hand out a peace award to the disgraced former dictator. The event will be held at APRC’s political bureau in Manjai.
It comes more than three years since Jammeh suffered a devastating demolition at a presidential election held in 2016. He had since been living in exile in Equatorial Guinea.
APRC deputy interim leader Ousman Rambo Jatta told The Fatu Network bestowing a peace award on Jammeh “is a great achievement for the APRC.”
“The truth about Jammeh is surfacing to light. A group who ws once a critic of President Jammeh and later on come [and] decided to award him, is a big achievement,” he said.
“It means the truth is slowly but surely surfacing-the truth is coming to light about Jammeh,” he added.
