I think the boat is already sinking,\u201d he said.Gibba also warned of rising political tensions as the presidential elections approached. \u201cWe saw yesterday a crisis at Brufut. I think it is a signal for the rule of law; more and more is yet to come. We will see more of this before the election period,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He urged Gambians to prioritize unity over division. \u201cSo what I\u2019m just putting to the Gambian people is it is better for us to unite for a change than to be divided, and the oppositions, when they are not in talking terms, and they are not ready to put their house in order, it\u2019s going to be very difficult for us to make gains,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing concerns specific to his constituency, Gibba reaffirmed his commitment to advocacy on local issues. \u201cTo my people of Foni we made it very clear to the president and his cabinet that on the Foni issue, we will no longer be silent on it. If they don\u2019t want to take action, we will take action,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Gambia<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
