Saikou Marong says no opposition can unseat Barrow

Lawmaker for Latrikunda Sabiji has hit out at the oppositions that none of them will unseat President Adama Barrow in the December poll.

Honorable Saikou Marong was speaking at the dramatic U-turn of Abdou Willan from rival United Democratic Party ten days after joining the party.

Mr Marong said his not campaigning for 2021 “I am campaigning for 2026, and if anyone doesn’t believe what I say ‘write my words down and on December 4 and 5 you will call me and tell me this is what you have said.’”

“There is no opposition that can win President Adama Barrow come December 4. I said it, I Honourable Saikou Marong there is no opposition who can win President Barrow and there will be none as well.

“I said it on my Facebook that you said 1996 you will win and you didn’t win. 2001 you said you will win and you didn’t win another one came you said you will win and you didn’t win, and the fourth came you said you will win and you didn’t win. Adama Barrow came three months and said I will remove Yahya Jammeh here and he removed Yahya Jammeh. Today if anyone stands and say December 4, I will be declared a president-elect will I follow. For 22 years you said you will be a president and still you have not been,” he said.

Meanwhile, Abdou Willan said: “I wrote this thing in five minutes to show the viewers (readers) why I left the UDP, and I think I haven’t spent two weeks there [in UDP] I just want tell you that President Adama Barrow I was doing a jihad for you and I have come with a result.”
