(JollofNews) – President Yahya Jammeh of the Gambia has used his re-election campaign to warn his critics and opponents that they can never take his presidency away from him no matter how hard they try.
Mr Jammeh, 51, who has ruled the Gambia since July 1994 and is seeking a fifth presidential term, said he has never regarded himself as a politician but a servant of God and Gambians.
He added that he has got a mandate from God to rule the Gambia and change the lives and livelihood of Gambians and will continue to be president until his lord decides otherwise.
“My presidency is in the hands of the Almighty Allah and no one, not even the Western powers can take it from me except the Almighty Allah,” Mr Jammeh told his supporters in Jarra Soma, Lower River Region.
Mr Jammeh added that he is not bothered about being labelled a dictator by his critics and some western countries.
He added: ” Being called a dictator doesn’t bother me at all because I am a dictator of development and progress. In 22 years, the unprecedented developments that my government has brought to the Gambia cannot be compared to the 400 years of British misrule, looting and stealing of our endowed resources.”
Mr Jammeh said since he assumed the reigns of power, he has brought development to the door steps of Gambians and vowed to eradicate poverty, hunger, and destitution in the country in the coming years.
He added that under his rule, basic education and maternal care is free for all Gambians while medical care in public health facilities is the cheapest in the world..
“There is nowhere in the world where one can see a doctor for as low as D5.00 as it is in The Gambia,” Mr Jammeh said.
“In the 22 years of my leadership no one has ever died of starvation in the Gambia and no one will ever die from starvation henceforth.”
APRC, Coalition,GDC do Gambia will accept gay marriage and let the kids have 2dads ?? Poor kids have no future!!!
Let the devil Yahya jammeh go out of Gambia. he think that he own the gambia. he has killed many gambian and still he killing gambian
This bastard Jammeh is sick. Its sad to be Gambian these days, I urge my fellow Gambia to be steadfast and stand with the coalition and vote this ignorant or High school dropout from office. He should be jailed, Mile 2 is his rightful place. He hurts so many Gambians, enough is enough
Jammeh is the only person who can take The Gambia to another level lets vote for him and may we all leave large.
he dont deserve the sit
Jammeh is just building castle in the air. am asking Jammeh did God ever talked to him? He said in one of his meeting last week that the guy who will replace him will never come to earth, in that case did he forgot the same God can bring someone after him or God don’t have that degree? one thing i observe from Jammeh is that he is in for fight/voilence when he loose. every good leader must think life after president rather to be president for life. We understand that many jolas are supporting him base on tribal line which is unconstitutional. Jammeh is no longer serving the interest of the Gambians so he must leave. Africans are tired of leaders sitting for more than 2 decades, we want term limit to rescue Africa from bad ruling. Jammeh is power drunk and greedy. Is Jammeh the only man in the whole Gambia who can bring development? Did he own the Gambians? Calling himself a muslim having Holy book and he never opened to read it. #Jammehisafailure#
