APRC interim leader Fabakary Tombong Jatta has called on supporters of NPP and APRC to work towards ensuring President Adama Barrow’s re-election in December.

Speaking at a rally in Banjul, he said: “Now that we have all come together, NPP, APRC and all the other parties. You (supporters) are the workers. You should unite and work on just one goal: to return President Adama Barrow to the State House.”

Mr Jatta insisted anyone who loves The Gambia must support President Adama Barrow.

“Anyone who loves Gambia, who is not into his selfish interest should support President Adama Barrow. We thank God for making this (alliance) happen. Also, we thank the people who made efforts that made us witness today,” he said.

Meanwhile, President Adama Barrow said: “Thank you to the people of Banjul for the amazing rally on Saturday. Thank you for the love and appreciation towards me and my government. Together we will transform Banjul into the city it truly deserves to be. 

“When we are united, we can achieve our dreams for a prosperous nation. The transformation of the roads in Banjul is an example.

“My government is determined to improve the lives of Civil Servants, in addition to the 50% salary increment and 100% for pensioners, we are currently reviewing the total wages and remuneration structure, which will also include a minimum wage requirement for all workers in 2022.”
