Abubacarr Tambadou has said he’s aware his ‘principled’ position on former President Jammeh has not endeared him to the former leader’s supporters and sympathisers.
“…and to them I say, Jammeh belongs to the past, so wake up from your dreams of a Jammeh political comeback and move on with your lives,” Mr Tambadou said on Friday at a news conference where he spoke on his resignation as attorney general and minister of justice.
During his three and a half years in the role, no group of people or political entity lambasted him more than APRC.
The party has always blamed him for all its woes, most times accusing him of witch-hunting.
But on Friday, Mr Tambadou provoked a fresh war with the party by saying sympathisers of the former president should move on with their lives.
He said: “He (Yahya Jammeh) has caused too much pain and suffering to the people of this country throughout his 22 year reign of terror as the TRRC keeps revealing.
“He has during this period destroyed the innocence and soul of Gambian society with the sheer brutality of his crimes, and for this, he will be brought to account someday here or abroad. He will surely have his day in court.”
