(JollofNews) – General MA Bah, a former Interior minister has announced he has now taken a break from partisan politics to concentrate on supporting President Barrow on his national development agenda.
Bah who defected from the APRC to the UDP following a power struggle he lost to FTJ, personally submitted a write-up on the matter to The Standard.
“After consultations with many of my supporters and well wishers keenly asking to know about my political activities or engagements for this new year and the years ahead, I thought it essential to publicly share my decision of the matter.
I wish to make it known to every one of my people that I am now sincerely committed without any reservation to fully support the National Development Plan of His Excellency President Adama Barrow, a plan already in full motion and yielding positive results in the Country. His objective to rapidly transform the Gambia into a model state admirable and hospitable to all Gambians and none Gambians cannot be over emphasized.
Often articulated in his public speeches and recently accentuated in the one brilliantly delivered during the inauguration of the celebrated Senegambia Bridge, President Barrow passionately appeals to all of us to join his dynamic crusade to build the new Gambia we all dream about and indeed one to be proud of all over the world.
I also wish to seize this opportunity to urge all Gambians to further join me in rendering support to the National Development Plan and the necessary assistance or support helpful for His Excellency President Barrow to realize his noble objective within the targeted timeframe.
Indeed, the Gambia belongs to all of us and based on my personal experience and training as a military officer and former government minister, I can confidently assure all Gambians that in President Adama Barrow we have the best president and therefore unnecessary to search for another person to lead us into the next phase of our political evolution.
I stand to be corrected but all that radiates in our humble president illustrates a unifier and not a divider, a builder and not a breaker a man least affected by partisan politics and more affectionate to elevating the Gambia to the ranks of contemporary great nations beneficial to all Gambians regardless of class, age, gender or ethnic background.
In conclusion I wish to reiterate my total support to the president’s development agenda and to inform him the availability of my service to him whenever and wherever needed.
May the Almighty Allah guide him towards the success he desires for the Country and his personal family.
I thank everybody in support of my course and to once again appeal to everybody to stand by our president.
I believe my career as a statesman and a senior military officer can best serve our commander-in-chief by supporting his agenda during this period of transitional governance.
President Barrow has demonstrated his resolve to unite the country and reconcile the people of republic during the last two years, and I intend to be part of the solution towards bringing peace and stability in the Gambia.
I wish to make it crystal clear that with effect from 28th January 2019, I declared my 100% support to President Adama Barrow and resigned from UDP. I want to concentrate on supporting President Barrow’s development agenda and programme whilst encourage all Gambians to render support to him.”
Oh boy what is this ?
I knew Bah would’t last in UDP.
The joining of Mr. Bah to UDP was controversial and contested in the first place. I welcome his resigning for it helps to heal the differences generated by his addition to the party’s top committee. From onset , I said that his admission was a poor political judgement on the part of the party leadership.
Mr. Bah, like Momodou Sabally, Seedy Njie etc. cannot be UDP heart and soul. They are APRC elements and the whole scheme is to infiltrate the current political dispensation for personal interest and to destabilize the accountability process.
As he put it, he can now add his weight behind NDP. I don’t expect much impact from an erstwhile Jammeh interior minister who energetically rejected the election results. He will jump as soon as another opportunity avail itself.
I think we can all agree that Ma Bah and others like him, Sabally, Njie etc are enemies of Gambia. Opportunist, sycophants who betrayed The Gambia to do Jammeh’s bidding. We can also agree that Yahya Jammeh spent 22 years killing, stealing and raping as his primary agenda. Gambians can draw their own conclusions as to the motivation and character of these men who served and profited from Yahya Jammeh.
I personally have said that it is very difficult to clean blood, and no amount of lies, political trick or deception will remove the stain of Gambian blood from all who participated either actively or passively in these killings.
They cannot hide behind Barrow or Darboe or lies of support for some NDP. Eventually they will all pay for their crimes.
Gambians have a very long and deep memory.
God Bless The Gambia.
God expose the wolves in sheep skin among us.
God give Barrow wisdom to recognize these EVIL men.
Hello Gambians, enough of the demonization of your fellow Gambians and Citizens of the Gambia. Notice that when you point at your fellow Gambians, at least three fingers point back toward you. Most Gambian citizens are not being served by the plattitudes and hyperbolic writings and speeches by some Gambian Politicians, Party Militants and Surrogates of one Interest group or another. There is enough blood from all three Republics their Party Militants and Surrogates to quench the Diabolical taste of the Vampires in the three Republics’ Covens. Gambians should demand a “Reformation” of our Political and Inter-personal relationships and communications. Legislative and Constitutional Reforms should be pushed to address the built in downward spiral and short comings in the Gambia’s executive, legislative and judicial systems. Without a Sanitized Legislative, Judiciary and Executive branch rules and regulations, wrapped up in a blanket of Accountability and Transparency in all Government’s Activities.
