President
Adama Barrow on Thursday concluded a two-day working visit to Sierra Leone.
According
to a release by the state house communication unit, the Gambian president who
was accompanied by senior government officials thanked the Sierra Leonean President
Ernest Bai Koroma for his role in “bringing sanity and democracy to The
Gambia.”
Receiving
President Barrow at the Aberdeen heliport, President Koroma assured him that
Sierra Leone is “home to him and all Gambians.”
Both
leaders underscored the need to continue to uphold the tenets of democracy in
the sub-region, noting that Sierra Leone and the Gambia share multilateral
ties.
President
Koroma told the Gambian leader to always “call on Sierra Leone for any
support.”
President
Koroma was part of the ECOWAS mediation team that helped to bring peace and
democracy to The Gambia which led to the former leader Yahya Jammeh to hand
over power to Adama Barrow.
President
Barrow’s visit coincided with Sierra Leone’s 56th independence anniversary on
April 27.
