President Barrow Begins Nationwide Tour

By Mam Jarra Camara

The President of the Republic of the Gambia, Adama Barrow has on Saturday 19th March 2022 commenced his "meet the people's tour."

The tour saw President Barrow together with his cabinet and other political leaders who show support to him touring the length and breadth of the country.

His first appearance was in Barra where he held his first meeting.

Delivering his first political nation Address for his first time in office President Barrow thanked the people of Barra for being the key factors leading to his slim light victory of over seventeen thousand (17,000), votes he had scored in lower Niumi consistency in the recently concluded December 4th polls.

He was re-elected on December 4th with a slim lights victory. But a petition by the opposition, alleging irregularities in the vote, has been filed at the Supreme Court.

He urged the people of lower Niumi to vote for Tamsir Cham, as their "would-be lawyer maker."

Delivering his keynote speech in Barra, President Barrow asked the people of lower Niumi never to vote for the independent candidates arguing that they are selfish people working on their self-interests.

He further throw stones at the United Democratic Party leader whom he calls his political godfather to have slain him in the past Presidential elections.

He said his victory in Barra was clear and open to known.

The Gambian leader said people should not vote for independent candidates arguing that they (the independent candidates), will not bring any development to them.

"The petition filed by the UDP was baseless. In their petition they have alleged me of rigging the elections by allowing foreigners to vote, providing boreholes, milling machines and cooking pots to people. I want to ask you people did any foreigner vote during the elections."? People vote for leaders to bring development to their doorsteps. If they (the UDP), are saying my government should not assist you by providing you with such materials then what kind of government do you expect them to be when they assume office," asked the Gambian leader.

He promised that his government will bring more developments to the people of lower Niumi.

He named a few villages such as Buniadu, Branding, Ndungu Kebbeh, Medina Sign Mass, etc to benefit from an uninterrupted electricity supply from Statehouse.
