APRC is seeking a permit to demand for the return of former President Yahya Jammeh, who has been living in Equatorial Guinea since 2017.The party plans to stage a protest later this month.

Many Gambians have however lashed out at the idea of Jammeh returning to the country but speaking to The Fatu Network in a telephone interview, Dodou Jah said: “We don’t care much about what people say…it’s their own opinion because they are entitled to their opinions. Everybody is entitled to speak their mind, that’s what they are advocating for. That we shouldn’t be given a permit.

“The Police shouldn’t be driven by what people are saying (but) they should go by what they law says.”

He said his party knows what the laws say and that “we know what the laws say – what makes somebody to be rejected or not rejected when you apply for a permit.”
