Building The New Gambia With Madi Jobarteh: Pull Down This Billboard

This billboard has no national value.
It has no connection to a constitutional presidential tour.
It does not serve any national development agenda.
It only mystifies the President.
It is inimical to democracy and good governance.
It’s a bad practice reminiscent of Yaya Jammeh and all poor and corrupt leaders.
It only seeks to misinform, misguide and hoodwink citizens
It’s a damn waste of public resources.
It can only promote the building of Dictatorship
It promotes political patronage and corruption.
It’s a means of perpetrating mediocrity and dishonesty.
It is utterly unnecessary and uncalled for and without any use in whatever form or shape!
It is stupid, foolish, shameless and dangerous.
This kind of billboard should not have never been erected in The Gambia!

  1. Free Speech! The President has free speech rights guaranteed by the constitution like all Gambians. I would rather others, political parties and individuals start raising billboards too. Let’s raise them up people! So long as others are not prevented from raising their own billboards, I have no issue with this. The days of armchair politicking are over. Barrow is doing what he needs to do to be out there. There is a way to counter that. Get into it too. Much need to said and much can be said. Raising a billboard to promote oneself is not illegal. Sitting on the sidelines crying will not help those who aspire to run for office. Use all means necessary to get your messages out there and if one of those means, mean raising a billboard, so be it. Let’s raise billboards. Gambia is open for raising billboards. Lol! Raise money! Raise Billboards! Raise your voices! I see where Mr. Jobarteh is coming from but his concerns are misplaced. They are directly against freedom of speech rights which he very much values. His lists above does not include that Mr. Barrow raising a billboard violates a law. In fact, it is protected by the highest law in the land; The Constitution. Raise billboards Gambians! It is the cool thing to do! I will raise one if you don’t! Dr. Sarr, will you raise billboard too? Lol! If you don’t, I will! Lol! Let’s raise them all up! Gambian is open for billboard raising! All are welcome !
