Demba Sabally, has firmly dismissed persistent rumors suggesting that former President Yahya Jammeh may return to The Gambia. Speaking in Foni Bullock during President Adama Barrow\u2019s constitutionally mandated Meet the People Tour, Sabally assured residents that Jammeh\u2019s comeback is neither imminent nor realistic.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYahya Jammeh will not be coming, not even next November,\u201d Sabally told the crowd, accusing those circulating such claims of exploiting communities for personal gain. \u201cThose selling Ashobees are the ones benefiting. They are deceiving you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned residents against participating in activities in Kanilai tied to Jammeh\u2019s alleged return. \u201cAnyone going to Kanilai for clearing exercises or anything else should know they are being misled. They are wasting your money on Ashobees, even taking loans just to cook for you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sabally urged the people of Foni to rally behind President Barrow, emphasizing, \u201cPresident Barrow is our president, the president of The Gambia, until 2031.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His remarks come amid renewed speculation about Jammeh\u2019s possible return\u2014rumors Sabally described as pure propaganda. \u201cPresident Adama Barrow is the president of this country, and Yahya Jammeh will not return this November or the next,\u201d he reiterated.<\/p>\n<p>With the 2026 presidential election approaching, Sabally projected confidence in Barrow\u2019s victory: \u201cThe 2026 election is already over.
