President Barrow sues for peace in Gambia
Banjul, Gambia (PANA) - President Adama Barrow has called on Gambians of all creed and colours to be relentless in their pursuit of peace and stability in the country.
“As Gambians, we have nowhere else but The Gambia - our homeland. So to promote and preserve peace in the country is a sacred duty of all citizens," President Barrow said Saturday in the Upper River Region while calling on all his supporters to remain civil and non-violent at all times.
He stated that the goodwill and support that the country enjoys from international partners will be cut short if signs of instability rear its ugly head in the country.
He further explained that his nationwide tour is a constitutional requirement, pointing that he was not there for politics, but to hear and dialogue with the people about the impact of his development policies.
President Barrow also announced numerous development projects that Sabach in the Upper River Region is billed to benefit from such as the nationwide 400KM road project being rolled out.
As early as next year, he added, the community will also be part of at least 12 villages that will be connected to the national electricity grid.
He stated that he’s not into the business of making empty political promises, while he highlighted the growing economy, booming trade transactions, the restoration of the energy supply, among others.
