A seven-year-old student of Marina International School has urged the Banjul mayor to use her “cozy” relations with President Adama Barrow to extend to the President her wish to become the Gambia’s latest First Lady.
Seven-year-old Mariama Kamaso was among several students, who on Thursday, paid a courtesy visit to Mayor Rohey MalickLowe at her office in Banjul. She capitalized on the visit to publicly inform the mayor of her desire to be part of the First Family as the President’s third spouse, expressing the confidence that the mayor could succeed in this errand as a “good” sister of the President.
Amid light-hearted jokes and of course, with a tinge of seriousness, the Banjul mayor accepted the challenge but advised the teachers to work on the student’s wardrobe.
“This is not going to be an easy task but I’m prepared for it. My only advice is that she must be dressed like the First Lady she wants to be whenever we are going to the Presidency because First Lady Fatoumatta Bah-Barrow has a dress sense,” the Banjul mayor jovially said.
