He assured the community of his administration\u2019s commitment to equitable development, adding, \u201cThis government cares about Foni. Whatever is the right of the Gambian people is also the right of Foni, and you will have it under my government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president highlighted key development gains in the region, noting that 32 villages in Foni have been connected to electricity during his eight years in office. \u201cIn my eight years, 32 villages benefited from electricity\u2014and I am not from Foni,\u201d he said. Barrow added that the era of Jammeh\u2019s political dominance was over, stressing that his government would not be intimidated by anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Barrow cautioned political actors to conduct their activities lawfully. \u201cWhatever you do, let it be within the law&#8230; If not, we will confront you,\u201d he warned. He accused certain Jammeh loyalists of misleading residents, saying, \u201cI want to clarify things so people understand what is happening. If you push me to the limit, I will speak. We want democracy to prevail, but it must come with respect for the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president also commented on Jammeh\u2019s current circumstances in exile, claiming he is well informed about the former leader\u2019s condition. \u201cI know the situation he is in&#8230; He no longer has power, wealth, or health. God has given that power to me,\u201d Barrow said, asserting that he is \u201cthe only one\u201d who can authorize Jammeh\u2019s return to The Gambia.<\/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.
