Gambia\u2019s former vice president, Fatoumatta Jallow Tambajang, has claimed that her successor Ousainu Darboe could have stopped her sacking if he had acted in good faith by telling President Adama Barrow that her action doesn\u2019t warrant dismissal.<\/strong>
\nTambajang was sacked from her position in June 2018, but the Presidency did not disclose why.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOusainu Darboe knows he is part of the Coalition, if the President told him I have done something and he knows this is administration and doesn\u2019t warrant my sacking, if he tells President Barrow, he (Barrow) would not have sacked me. I know that,\u201d she told GTTV.
\nMadame Tambajang further disclosed that the President did not tell him Ousainu Darboe or Mamadou Tangara had told him something about her, arguing that the President is not supposed to tell other people what others told him about them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mentioned Ousainu Darboe because he said I breached the constitution and when I left, he replaced me, while Mamadou Tangara said I breached diplomatic protocol. But the President never told me anything concerning anybody,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Tambajang added: \u201cIf it was the other way around, I would not have taken a position where Ousainu left. When I left at some point, I thought about the relationship between us is beyond where I will leave a place for him to sit. But reflecting, I say to myself; I should leave everything to God. I made my own efforts when he was sacked. I went to his house, I found his wife who informed me Darboe went to US. I prayed for him and left\u201d.
\nShe said her relationship with Darboe dated forty years back.<\/p>\n

\u201cOusainu was the one who got me married to my first husband who is his relative and close friend and in turn my husband helped him with his first wife Maimuna Ndure. Positions will end but relationships will never end. I cannot forget our past and I will not let anything come between me and Ousainu Darboe. Whatever happens in my house today, Ousainu will hear it because he is a father to my children,\u201d she noted.
\nShe said she never discussed her sacking with Darboe but she has told one of his friends about it. \u201cI don\u2019t know whether the friend has told him or not. But whenever I see him, I always greet him with due respect,\u201d he noted.
\nShe argued that the letter was not the reason why she was sacked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
