He made the remarks in Farafenni during his ongoing nationwide \u201cMeet the People Tour.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything we work for, we will leave in this country. Let us stop jealousy\u2014it has no benefit,\u201d President Barrow told the gathering, emphasizing that development requires collective effort and sincerity.<\/p>\n<p>The president criticized opposition parties for what he described as attempts to undermine his government\u2019s development agenda. \u201cDeveloping a country is no joke,\u201d he said. \u201cSome opposition parties want to turn our national development into a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He reminded citizens that government exists to pool national resources for the benefit of all. \u201cIf one wants to be president, there is only one legitimate path\u2014the right way,\u201d he stated. \u201cOpposition parties should present better programs to convince Gambians instead of criticizing every initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Barrow expressed frustration over persistent opposition criticism of his government\u2019s projects. \u201cWhen we build roads, they call it politics. When we build schools, dig boreholes, establish hospitals, increase salaries, or provide electricity, they still say it\u2019s politics. So what do they want the government to do\u2014spend public funds on self-enjoyment?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>He further defended his record, saying his administration has delivered on the promises he made to the electorate. \u201cWhen I sought the presidency, I did not lie about the government. What I promised Gambians is what I am fulfilling,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Citing the recently completed Hakalang road, Barrow said tangible progress speaks for itself. \u201cThose who claim road construction is politics, I can provide them a vehicle to visit the new Hakalang road. After seeing it, they will not call it politics again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reaffirming his patriotism, President Barrow declared: \u201cNo one loves The Gambia more than I do. I grew up here, worked here, and I am known for my dedication. My presidency will one day end, but I want to leave a lasting legacy. I am the foundation for your development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He assured residents that his administration would address the shortcomings of previous governments. \u201cEverything you lacked for the past 52 years will be provided under my regime,\u201d he promised.<\/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.
