Mai Fatty said in an interview with Kerr Fatou that he would have preferred to join President Barrow to the opposition during the 2021 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Analysing these remarks in an interview with The Standard Monday, Essa Njie described Mai Fatty\u2019s remarks as \u2018dishonest from a politician who until the presidential election was one of the fierce critics of the Barrow government.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is so disheartening, but we must admit that some of our political leaders are very inconsistent. We must as Gambians hold our political leaders to account, both by their actions and words. Mai Fatty is one political leader who has been making a lot of inconsistent comments since his sacking in November 2017. For Mai to come and argue that he would have rather supported Barrow in 2021 presidential election than opposition parties, I think is very dishonest on his side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will like to take Gambians back to an interview that Mai granted to The Standard newspaper on the 20th December 2020 reproduced by Africa News, where he argued that the Barrow Government must be voted out because it is incompetent and for lack of transparency. Mai in fact accused the Barrow Government of dividing the country, polarising the country more. He said that tribalism is much more present today than the days of dictatorship,\u201d Njie said.<\/p>\n<p>He continued that Mai in the same interview argued that the Barrow government \u201cis dividing\u201d Gambians and \u201cis even worse at some point, than during the days of dictatorship in some of major challenges that the country is facing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The political commentator also referred Gambians to the same interview that Mai granted on 20th December 2020 in which he (Mai Fatty) said Barrow Government cannot go beyond 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Mai to come and tell us that he would have preferred to join Barrow\u2019s Government, I think he should remind himself of the interview he granted on 20th of December 2020, when he argued that this Government cannot go beyond 2021. He argued that \u2018we will end this negative circle in 2021\u2019. Who is Mai to come and tell us now that in 2021, he would have preferred to join Barrow than the opposition?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese statements of Mai Fatty are inconsistent and contradictory statements. This shows the type of political leader he is and it reveals to Gambians. Here is a man who should never be taken seriously, because of his lack of consistency as a political leader. And he should never be given the opportunity to run the affairs of this country. This, I think Mai should just do himself a favour and stop talking and stop writing\u201d, he continued.<\/p>\n<p>On Mai\u2019s expression of his liking for the Barrow Government\u2019s infrastructural development, Essa in the same vain referred the GMC leader to the same interview he granted to the Bakau-based newspaper in December 2020 in which he questioned the value of the infrastructure development when the economy is putting a lot of people into poverty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMai said clearly that \u2018what value has infrastructure when the economy is putting a lot of people into poverty?\u2019. He vehemently opposed infrastructure. Now, he is again telling us that he would have preferred to join Barrow because he likes the policies and specifically the infrastructural development. Let Gambians judge for themselves. Is this a man who is really serious?\u201d the political pundit said.<\/p>\n<p>Njie declined to comment on claims that the politician is \u201cfinancially broke and is seeking a job\u201d from President Barrow, saying, \u201cI think that is bit personal\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
