Speaking at a recent event organized by the National People\u2019s Party (NPP), Chief Jatta claimed that the companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not engage in protest, suggesting that democracy itself is not rooted in Islam.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocracy is not part of the Islamic religion. Anyone who dies in such acts will face hellfire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Jatta emphasized the political dominance of the NPP in The Gambia, describing the party as the largest and most influential political group in the country. \u201cThe NPP is the bigger group in The Gambia and cannot be defeated by small factions. If the majority also decides to mobilize, it will achieve its goals,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p>He called for calm and national unity, urging citizens to respect authority and avoid actions that could provoke conflict. \u201cLet us maintain peace, avoid inciting one another, and respect our leaders,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the past, Chief Jatta criticized the era of former President Yahya Jammeh, accusing him of oppressing Gambians. \u201cDuring Jammeh\u2019s rule, all the men became women. No one dared speak up. It was only after he left that people found their voices,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>He praised President Adama Barrow as an honest and patriotic leader who respects all citizens and is committed to both his faith and national development. Jatta cautioned that Gambians may come to regret not valuing Barrow\u2019s leadership once he leaves office.<\/p>\n<p>Concluding his remarks, Chief Jatta called on NPP supporters to ensure that the party continues to lead the country beyond President Barrow\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
