Alhagie S. Darboe, the deputy administrative secretary of the United Democratic Party (UDP) has said that his party will consider President Barrow an ‘enemy’ if he continues to back his Youth Movement because that group sees the UDP as an enemy.
He stressed that as such anyone who support it including Barrow will be considered as an enemy of the UDP.
“Although the President has always said that his relationship with the Vice – president and leader of the UDP, Ousainou Darboe is good. It is clear that his relation with the UDP is not good because there is a group associated with him who sees the UDP as their worst enemy and he is fully supporting it.
Today even the APRC is not seen as much of our enemy as that group and if Barrow continues to be behind that group then we will begin to see him too as our enemy.” Alhagie, who is also a National Assembly Member of Brikama North said during a political rally at Gunjur in the Kombo South District of the West Coast Region.
He urged President Barrow to know the fact that he comes from the UDP and should not allow anything to come between him and the party.
“You should be mindful of people who tell him that the UDP is this and that as well as those who are between the UDP and Barrow, trying to separate us, should keep their mouths shut because they cannot teach the UDP how to help Barrow. We know the power we hold in the government and nobody can tell us what to do”, he said.
He stressed that the UDP can never hate President Barrow and noted that nobody can take the ownership of the Coalition government. He then added that all those who hold positions in the UDP should know that they are operating under the party’s principles.
