Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>President Adama Barrow has urged his political father to retract the remarks he made concerning the Banjul\/Barra ferries a few weeks ago.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cJust recently, I heard my father expressing his views, stating that The Gambia is a failed state due to ferry issues and suggesting residents of Niumi and Badibou not to support President Barrow. I will tell my father that I know he\u2019s old now, and that\u2019s why his network is not working. If not, if you say Gambia has failed because the ferries have a problem, I will say \u2018Allahu Akbar\u2019. I\u2019ll inform him that the ferry service is operational now. Previously, the journey took an hour, but it\u2019s been reduced to just sixteen minutes. Additionally, we\u2019re currently refurbishing another ferry, outfitting it all with new engines. In response to his comments, we\u2019re even procuring two new solar-powered ferries. While I appreciate his concerns, I\u2019d like to clarify that his son holds the presidency, and I\u2019m diligently working. You can say you don\u2019t like President Barrow, but to say he\u2019s not working is not true. Nonetheless, I understand the political nature of such discussions,\u201d President Barrow said.<\/p>\n

President Barrow made this comment in Badibou while visiting a National People\u2019s Party political bureau in the area.<\/p>\n
