Gambia Moral Congress leader has lashed out at his critics after speaking good about President Adama Barrow’s leadership.

Mai Ahmed Fatty was criticised by section of the Gambians on social media after his interview with Gambia-based online news outlet, Kerr Fatou.

The former minister of interior described the criticism as “so much unnecessary noise and it makes no difference. I spoke my mind as a sovereign citizen and not anyone’s proxy.

“Let me make it abundantly clear so that it’s certain that I didn’t misspeak.

“If I were to endorse a candidate outside GMC, it would have been President Barrow.”

Mr Fatty continued: “If all you could say was that he’s job-seeking, climb on top Mount Everest and announce it there. If all you could say he was broke, that reveals more about you instead. 

“Nothing you will say matters to me. Who I would’ve wished to endorse as an individual citizen, shouldn’t be your issue. That right of mine is proprietary.

“If I had chosen your party leader instead, you would’ve been celebrating me. This senseless intolerance has to end! Let me just put this photo here overnight. You aren’t Allah to make a pronouncement about my political future or decide my fate!”

“So save your breath! When we laid down our lives and invested millions into Gambia’s liberation, most loud mouths today were sealed then. 

“Am not into anyone’s personal struggle. We live in a democracy now. My tolerance will not permit me to accommodate impudence on this page; the block bottom activated,” he added.
