Gambia: National Assembly Has Stabbed Gambians In The Back

Madi Jobarteh

(JollofNews) – Today January 16 shall go down in the history of the Gambia as the day when despicable sons and daughters of the Gambia in our National Assembly have consciously and deliberately decided to betray their own people. Without shame or fear, members of the National Assembly have today passed a resolution calling on ECOWAS to refrain from implementing their just cause to save the Gambia but instead to make judges available to hear the unconstitutional and illegal petition of the APRC.

These parliamentarians have therefore ignored blatantly the fact that Yahya Jammeh lost the December 1 election and now they wish to impose this dictator on the people of the Gambia. These parliamentarians are now telling us that they have not seen and felt the misery and shame that our people have endured in these past 22 years under the misrule of Yahya Jammeh and APRC. Indeed the Gambia has never felt betrayed in its post-independence history!

It is indeed a very sad day for the Gambia when she is in her most severe moment of affliction to have sons and daughters who would ignore God and Truth to sacrifice their own birthright and sacred duty by abandoning their own motherland in favour of one single person. As a Gambian, I cannot express how much pain and shame I feel knowing that in my country there are these kinds of citizens who are prepared to sacrifice our motherland for the selfish and diabolical interest of the Number 1 Scumbag of our society. How could Abdoulie Bojang, Fabakary Tombong Jatta, Netti Baldeh and Abdoulie Saine, as adult Gambians lead the National Assembly which is supposed to be the saviour of the Gambia decide to abandon their own people to side with one citizen who is the worst son ever produced in the Republic of the Gambia. This is a betrayal of the highest order for which I pray to God the Almighty to make sure that these APRC National Assembly Members pay dearly for now and till eternity for this diabolical act of unpatriotism, betrayal and criminality against our people.

In any democracy the National Assembly is the sanitizer to ensure that the rule of law and the principles of good governance are upheld. In any democracy the National Assembly is the final defender of the sacred interests and human rights of the people. In any democracy the National Assembly is the last bastion for the protection of the Constitution and the Sovereignty of the People. To imagine that in the Gambia, we would have a National Assembly that would become the leading weapon for the destruction of the Constitution and the Sovereignty of the People is a betrayal that surpasses even Judas. In multiple places of our Constitution, the National Assembly has immense powers to correct all wrongs in the country. The National Assembly has all powers to check the Executive and bring them to book. Yet these APRC National Assembly Members have not only failed to check the Executive over the years, but they have gone further to change every rule in our constitution just to empower Yaya Jammeh and disempower our people.

After having done everything possible to disempower the people over the years, to now imagine that at its most defining moment, there will be Gambians with such responsibility would consciously and deliberately decide to forsake the Gambia for a tyrant is indeed the most ungodly, satanic and self-hating act any human being could commit.

Let all Gambians know from today that the Number 1 Enemy of our people are the APRC Members of the National Assembly. These are Traitors who have decided today that they value the selfish interest of Yaya Jammeh than the lives of their own mothers and fathers, and their own wives and husbands and their own sons and daughters. They have shown us today that they indeed value Yaya Jammeh more than you and me as the citizens of the Gambia who voted for them into the National Assembly in the first place to serve us. They have forsaken us in order to serve a man who has subjected their own people to all forms of abuse, torture, rape, murder and robbery in broad daylight. Yet they prefer that man to their own people. This is painful indeed.

I wish God would grant me the necessary divine powers today to rain down fire and brimstones on these traitors! Never has the world seen such a group of citizens who could disrespect and hate their own people. These National Assembly Members are indeed the most ungrateful persons ever. I already hate myself for knowing even their names much more sharing the same country with them. I hereby condemn and reject with all the strength in my body this criminal resolution. It is not done in my name and I consider it as an act of treason for which the initiators, drafters and participants must face justice for selling the name and reputation and the future of our country for a mess of pottage.

I am sad. I am angry. I feel betrayed and disrespected. I am ashamed that indeed our National Assembly would subject us to such disgrace in the eyes of the world. Just yesterday Yaya Jammeh disgraced us all by putting a private call to a lady president on national television. As if that was not enough after 22 years of terror, to now have the National Assembly make such a resolution to ECOWAS leaders is indeed treacherous and shameful. How would these leaders and fellow West African citizens now view the Gambia and her people? How could we have the topmost leaders of our society ridicule our people and our dignity before the eyes of the whole world? By their actions, Yaya Jammeh and these shameful parliamentarians have indeed soiled the decent and dignified name of the people of the Gambia. But surely the God of all nations shall not watch them with kindness. They shall pay for this and indeed very dearly sooner than later.

From this moment, I wish to inform all Gambians to realize that the worst enemies of the Gambia are Yahya Jammeh and these APRC National Assembly Members. We shall not forgive them ever in our lives. Over my dead body will I ever witness anywhere anyone speaking about forgiving Yaya Jammeh and these hopeless Parliamentarians in the New Gambia. They must pay a heavy price for the rape and torture of our motherland and her people. We must not ever forget that. But after all, I am also not surprised because these APRC National Assembly Members have never ever stood up for the Gambia and her people. They have created every bad law one can imagine. They have defended and condoned every corruption and atrocity of Yaya Jammeh. By now it must be crystal clear to all citizens that indeed these APRC National Assembly Members are the Gambia’s Number One Traitors and Enemies. History shall judge them very terribly.

  1. Gambia’s Justice Minister Mama Singhateh, has reportedly fled the country, the Freedom Newspaper has gathered. Justice Minister Singhateh, is believed to have fled to neighboring Senegal. She has joined the list of Jammeh cabinet Ministers on the run.
    ONLY THE CHILDREN OF UNMARRIED MOTHERS ARE HANGING THERE TO BE KILLED OR ARRESTED WHEN HE GETS THEM TO COMMIT TREASON FOR HIM

  2. Now, that the national assembly have passed the law, extending Jammeh stay until all post election matter are consider, please, let no one create any further attempt to pull Gambians into fear. The international community must recognise, this important decision of the national assembly

    • Please be careful here. The National Assembly has no such mandate. This cannot stop the inauguration of President Barrow. It is self serving to say the least and should be ignored. How do you expect a Parliament carefully chosen by Jammeh and serving him for 22 years to rule against him? As Halifa Sallah said we should go by the dictates of the Constitution not a moribund and inherently biased Parliament. The Constitution clearly states that the duly elected Oresident should be sworn in after the expiry of the term of the incumbent government.

      • I agree with you Ndow that the national assembly has no such mandate. They are just a disgrace to the Gambian people and the constitution. Shameless Monster, murder, rappist and emeny of the Gambian people, time is up. You will remove your ass-hole from that seat that belongs to all Gambians. Why are you so greedy and selfish that you think ALLAH created that post for only you.

        You monster jammeh has no respect, regard and interest of the Gambia at all. I was one of your supporters but very deeply disappointed. It is time for you to go now. FOR HEAVEN SAKE, RESPECT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AFTER THE ELECTION AND JUST LEAVE. THE APRC MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT ARE JUST BUNCH OF NONENTITIES WHO ARE ONLY SELF-SERVING FOR MONEY.

        SHAME ON YOU SHAMELESS BEAST YAYA JAMMEH AND YOUR APRC NA MEMBERS

    • Keep Dreaming…Fire and brimstone within 48 hrs—-The Tyrant will be wrapped in a cooler with his ugly and white flaky shark skin– This human ass wipe Yaya Jammeh, Traitor of the highest order, the Scourage of God….Ecowas with the help of patriots will liberate our country from you human blood sucking enablers. Let history record for generation yet unborn that–They created this war, we kneel in front of almighty God at this eleventh hour to give us te courage to take this fight to the doorsteps of yaya jammeh and his henchmen

      God will side with the Truth !

      • Common man dont he stupid. Not everyone’s make has the profession like YOUR MA. Nice to see that to took out your hand out of your MA’s pushy to punch a few lines. Now shove it back in hear. It will keep your hand warm.

      • DELTA you are the stupid whom stupid call stupid. You want foreigners to come into our country to resolve our problems? We can resolve this within. The court hearing is in may. Hang on.

        Can’t you see Jammeh never talked about military being involved in the settlement it’s the west fueling the thought of ppl like you.

        Sit back and relax. Jammeh has all under control. Only Jammeh can keep gambia peaceful and one.

        • Jatta thats a lie he is the problem dont deny that if you think jammeh is a peaeful person you fooling yourself. The simple is some of you being infected by jammehs idiotcity thats he is facing difficulties at all institution both national and domestic. People who addicted to a dictator like you will find it very difficult get a better HIQ.

        • I think Jatta need to have a brain scan as he appeared to me to be brain dead, uneducated and damn right ignorant. We have what you called ”constitution” and it stipulated that the winner should take the oath of office when the incumbent’s term expired. so how can Yahya Jammeh expect himself to remain in power when his term expired. Fools like you Jatta as Yahya are the problem not the foreigners. Yahya have a simple choice, leave or die a pathetic and shameful death. Ecowas will flush him out with precision weaponry and he can take his rightful place in hell,where he belong.
          And Jatta if you are a brave man,why not record your full name? Cowards and only cowards in this hour are still hell bent on supporting Yahya.
          Yahya have nothing under control that is why he is flip flopping. Today this, tomorrow that, but his day of reckoning is imminent and his hired thugs like yourself should know full well that Gambians will never forgive or forget what Yahya and his thugs did to our country and our people.
          Long Live The Gambia!
          Down and straight to hell with Yahya Jammeh and his thugs.

  3. Thank god. Gambian truely love Jammeh.

    • It may be you jatta who love him because you are addicted to his dictatorship, and you even enjoy him insulting your parent in front crowd and national TV matter fact you like him being your doctor who can cure HIV Aids all this stupid thing you applause it. Thats why i said you need to check with your HIQ.

    • That is the worst comment you have post.
      Had Gambians love the jamming 45% of the vote wouldn’t have been in Barrow’s ballot. It is people like you that are been encouraging jammeh to stay in power. Jammeh has never shown love to Gambians rather he instead build fear in all
      Gambians. If Gambians really love Jammeh then for jammeh to reciprocate their so-called love let him transit the power to Barrow who is chosen by Gambians without fear. Jammeh came in power because of military coup and there is a 95% possibility that it was against the citizen’s wish in 1994. In that case how can people said that Gambians love Jammeh.
      My question for you is that, how many Gambians flee the country in a the last 22years and how many Gambians are in prison or have died?

    • After the 18 jammeh would not be recognised as president that is very clear so he is just waiting time and damaging his APRC national assemblys members future and they will be quash as they are politically incorrect.

  4. A dog bite Adama Barrow’s son, and he died.
    Who is the dog driver or owner? Some Nia agent?
    Why the President elected and his family don’t have protection and security agents?
    Because Jammeh didn’t provide them!
    .
    Who is the responsible for the boy’s dead?
    Jammeh?

    • Where were adama’s hired security guards. He didn’t believe in our own gambian security. If jammeh had any intension to kill him, he would have done it long ago.

      Adama and his associates have restored to such cheap tactics that they got the boy killed to draw gambian sympathy.
      Couldn’t come for his own sons funeral. How can such man be entrusted with our Gambia. They are already showing their true colors

      • …..you are obviously uneducated?…

      • Jammeh is threaten to kill as usual as he always, the dead of the boy will comes under investigation soon as jammeh is out. Rogue so called NIA are the world most useless intels their job design to jammeh only not for gambian.

      • How can Barrow trust our security services when all Gambians know full well that Yahya Jammeh have tribalised our security services as majority are from his tribe. Most have little or no education whatsoever, and some not even Gambians. Military around the world swore allegiance to the country, it is pity that Gambian military are made to give their loyalty to one man not country and that man happened to be the mad dog, idol worshiper Yahya Jammeh.
        Jatta you are an absolute nincompoop. How can you defend the indefensible? Shut up please.

      • That’s exactly their plan why they got the innocent child killed so that the father {Adama Barrow} will attend the funeral as the Monster Jammeh with his killer squad will get him assassinated too but their plans had failed completely.

  5. No, no. Please. They are not betraying the people. Foreign military intervention is probably the worst thing that could happen to the Gambia. You don’t have to look far to see what foreign military intervention has done. Lybia, Syria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan and Afghanistan not to mention Iraq.

    It may take longer for democracy to prevail in the Gambia but it will not help the Gambia one bit if military action from a foreign power has to come in to force change.

    The assembly are not saying that the election results should be abandoned. They are simply trying to find a way that the Gambia can solve the problem instead of foreign powers.

  6. Bro Madi, I can authoritatively say that the National Assembly Resolutions has no legal basis. On the issue of whether President Barrow should be inaugurated or not, we should be guided by the dictates of the Constitution not by the dictates of a self serving and moribund National Assembly. So please let us not give them the importance they do not deserve. I am not at surprise by them but they have no such authority to subvert the will of the people. If they have the Constitution would have clearly stated that this. Instead, it clearly states that once declared duly elected by the IEC the President elect shall take office. The NAM Resolutions are therefore not even worth the papers they are written on and should be seen as such.

  7. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name Thy Kingdom come.
    Father have mercy upon us, Your children here in our beloved country, The Gambia.
    We have decided, irrespective of our religious background, to stand together as One Gambia, One People, One Power, under the leadership of our choice President, Mr. Adama Barrow. You stood for us and gave us the courage to make the decision. The result turned out successfully in our favour. We thank You for answering our prayers. Father, we pray for a peaceful transition of power. Bless both Yaya Jammeh and Adama Barrow according to your will. Let there be peace in our land. Oh God, save us in Jesus Name, Ameen.
