Breaking: Sidia Jatta Rejects Barrow’s Invitation as ‘Propaganda’

Veteran politician Sidia Jatta of the PDOIS has dismissed President Adama Barrow’s public call for him to join his government’s national development agenda, describing the invitation as political propaganda aimed at impressing voters.

President Barrow made the appeal earlier this week while launching a road project in Sidia’s native Wuli, where he publicly invited the veteran politician to support his development efforts.

However, reacting to the president’s remarks, Jatta said Barrow was on a political campaign and was simply saying things intended to impress the public.

“Barrow found me doing what I am doing in this country. So is he the one to tell me what I should do? What is he doing there in Wuli? It is the same feeder road whose foundation he laid at Chamoi. It is the same road. There is nothing more, nothing less. It is propaganda. And this is not the first time he is calling my name, so it does not matter. He has been saying that everywhere,” Jatta told The Standard yesterday.

Jatta maintained that the president’s remarks were not a genuine call for national unity, but part of ongoing political messaging ahead of the polls.
