My Fellow Gambians

I am deeply dismayed by President Adama Barrow’s recent offensive remarks towards Hon. Ousainou Darboe, leader of the United Democratic Party. Such language has no place in our political discourse, and I stand with fellow Gambians in condemning this troubling statement. While political differences are natural, they must not lead to vile remarks especially from a Head of State. It is crucial for leaders to uphold civility, respect, and decency, especially during times of political tension and economic challenges.

I wish for Hon. Ousainou Darboe’s continued good health and long life as he contributes to our country’s development. Our nation deserves leaders who prioritize unity and understanding over division.
