A visit to Nigeria by Gambian political Leaders for Constitutional talks has angered many Gambians, with some going as far as accusing the political leaders of trying to sell the country.
But speaking to The Fatu Network shortly after their arrival at the Banjul International Airport on Thursday February 25th, Leader of the Gambia Action Party Musa Ousainou Yali Batchilly, said the Gambian people have the right to be outraged but accusing political leaders of trying to sell this country is of grave concern to him as matters of national interest are of paramount importance to his political party.
“How can we the political Leaders fly from Gambia to Abuja just to sell our country? Who has that kind of money to buy Gambia? Like I said, we will never sell our homeland. I am urging Gambians to be incredibly careful of the things they say,” Batchilly said.
Commenting on the progress of their dialogue in Nigeria to resuscitate the draft constitution, the GAP Leader said he believe there will be a compromise at the end of the day.
“The meeting was okay. On the 8th of March when Dr Goodluck Jonathan will be around, we can further strengthen the conversation. There will be a compromise God willing,” Batchilly.
