“My priority is for us to have a clean West Coast. A West Coast that will grow the economy and a West Coast that will create jobs for young men and women. It is important for one to take a step. We saw Gambia yesterday, we have seen Gambia today, and we want a better Gambia. 

“Some of us have been motivated and inspired by the new Gambia for the fact that we have stayed away from this country for a very long time and decided it is time for us to put our hand on deck. Others will say politics is a dirty game, but I say to them that is not the solution. If you believe politics is a dirty game, you are condemning yourself to a virtual person who doesn’t take any responsibilities in your country,” He expresses

The Chairperson election is slated for May 20th throughout the country.
