By Adama Makasuba

Honorable Omar A Jallow alias OJ, member of People’s Progressive Party’s, has warned former president Yahya Jammeh to stop his divisive utterance else he will go to a place he doesn’t want to go to.

Speaking at a rally held in Bakau, the former Minister of Agriculture said he is advising Jammeh to do away from making divisive utterances because he wished him good, adding that Jammeh’s late father was his good friend during his stay in Foni Bwiam in the late 1960s.

“I want my son who is in Equatorial Guinea who is Yahya Jammeh to listen to me and keep quite because I was a friend of his father when I was in Bwiam in 1968. That’s why when his father passed away, he (Jammeh) came to me and I designated a vehicle for him to take his father’s dead body to Mayork to bury him because they are from Mayork,” he said.

However, he warned Jammeh against defiant his advice, it could land him into troubles which he (OJ) doesn’t want for him (Jammeh) gets into such problem.

“Yahya Jammeh, he has people like Fabakary Tombong Jatta, Rambo Jatta, Yankuba Colley and Dodou Jah and other people who stood by him when he was here and when he was away, but he is still saying words that can destabilize the country. Thank you Fabakary Tombong Jatta and Rambo Jatta and others, thank you for standing by The Gambia’s development and peace,” he added.

“There are so many villages who voted for Jammeh and those are not Jola community, therefore, I want to advise him if he wants to end in peace then let him keep quiet and stay out of the country’s politics if not where he doesn’t want to go, he will go there and I don’t wish him to go to that place because I am his father that’s why I forgave him,” he stated.
