Imam
Pa Momodou Njie presenting his letters of credence to His Majesty the Emir of
Qatar as The Gambia’s pioneer Ambassador to Qatar. He facilitated the first
visit of the Emir of Qatar to The Gambia.
Imam
Ambassador Pa Momodou Njie was an exemplary person of distinction. He was
inspired by Imam Ambassador Professor Omar Jah , under whom he served as
Counselor at The Gambia Embassy in Saudi Arabia and believed that one can
combine the temporal and spiritual and be the best at both. He equally inspired
Imam Ambassador Basir Drammeh to excel to also become an Imam and Ambassador
when Imam Pa Momodou Njie identified him to join the diplomatic service and
subsequently he also became The Gambia’s Ambassador to Qatar . He is currently
Imam of Latrikunda Mosque.

Imam
Pa Momodou Njie of blessed memory served The Gambia as a patriotic Gambian of
distinction underpinned by conscience, character , competence, courage and
conviction. He was The Gambia’s High Commissioner ( Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary to the sister Republic of Senegal. He was indeed the
architect that enabled the newly democratically elected President Adama Barrow
to be sworn at The Gambia Embassy in Dakar against all the odds. He assured
President Barrow’s sojourn in Dakar out of courage and conviction to his
conscience and did the right thing, I always posit that “ what is right is not
expedient and what is expedient is not right- therefore always do what is RIGHT
“ Imam Ambassador alongside some of his serving Ambassadors at the material
time signed a open petition asking the then President to respect the will of
the people and yield power to the newly elected President.
Please
remember this saviour and game changer of The Gambia in your prayers.
It
may be worthy to mention that he was First Secretary at The Gambia High
Commission in Senegal in 1981 and also played a role in restoring the rule of
Alhaji Sir Dawda Jawara, when The Gambia invoked the defense pact with Senegal
and the coup d etat was foiled.
I’m
reminded of the words of the late and revered Labour Union activist and
educationist A E Cham Joof “ History cannot proceed by in silence “
Please
remember Imam Ambassador Pa Momodou Njie in your prayers.
