Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition United Democratic Party NAM for Central Baddibu has said the suggestion that President Barrow is eyeing a third term is already destroying his international reputation.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking in response to the president\u2019s supporters\u2019 assertion that he is going for a third term, Sulayman Saho said the issue of third term is \u201cno longer popular in the West African region and any leader who embraces the idea would be equally unpopular\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dare say that Adama Barrow\u2019s association with the idea of a third term might have caused him to be overlooked for the honor of chairmanship of Ecowas, if at all he was ever considered,\u201d he said. Saho said the other reason may be his \u201cinability to deliver much needed reform programmes that will position Gambia as a beacon of democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the lawmaker, term limits are becoming the order of the day because both Ecowas and the AU have realised and recognised that it helps in maintaining political stability on the continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace and stability will be hard to maintain in Africa if and when presidents intend to stay in power endlessly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Saho said Barrow and his supporters need to know that the issue of third term is not just a local topic but an international and sub regional matter seen as a threat to peace, democracy and good governance around the continent.<\/p>\n
