UDP deputy leader Aji Yam Secka has said President Adama Barrow suffered from glossophobia during his first public speech as UDP rummaged for a new leader after Darboe was put away.
UDP suffered human losses after most of the party’s leaders were incarcerated in 2016 by then dictator Yahya Jammeh.
As the search for a new leader got underway, UDP held a rally in Bundung where President Adama Barrow spoke.
Yam Secka said on Saturday at UDP’s All Badibu meeting in Njaba Kunda, as streamed by Camaraba Official: “When Adama Barrow was speaking, he was trembling.
“When he finished speaking, he said to me ‘Aunty Yam, how was my speech?’ I told him ‘I grade you 10 because you didn’t say anything’. I told him ‘you’re speaking and trembling and it’s you were choosing to lead’.
“Adama had no courage. And that’s why when he said he’s bold, I laugh. It’s us who gave you courage.”
