The deputy spokesman for APRC has said part of APRC agreement with President Barrow’s National People’s Party is to bring former president Yahya Jammeh home from exile and help pave way for national reconciliation.
Speaking to Sen FM, Mr Jah said: “In a nutshell part of the agreement is to bring back the former president Yahya Jammeh and settle in the country in peace and in a dignified manner. That’s part of the agreement. And secondly, it is also part of the agreement to pave way for national reconciliation.”
“But when we say national reconciliation, many people mind go back to the Commission and we didn’t say the Commission should happen because it was established by the law of the country and we are not above the laws of the country and whatever the commission is doing we have no power to their affairs. That’s the responsibility of the government.
“And also, part of the agreement is to work with the Barrow government for the development of the country, because we have lots of projects at hand that we want to implement, but we cannot implement them because we are in the opposition. Among that is security which something that interest us a lot and we have some good plans for it that once the country reconciled it will benefit the country greatly,” he added.
Asked whether Jammeh has been to light about the alliance with Barrow’s party, Jah responded that the ex-president Jammeh was made to know about the coalition, adding that the process of forming alliance with President Barrow started in 2018.
Meanwhile, he gave reason of concealing the accord with Barrow saying “our reason of concealing the agreement is part of political tactics to win over your opposition who could capitalize on some of the agreement to score political points.”
