The
incumbent president, Yahya Jammeh, Monday held a meeting in Essau, Lower Nuimi
District.
He
took to the meeting a message of violence-free campaigning, hammering home
aloud the need for peace and obedience to law and order among Gambians.
The
peace of the country, he said, should not be exploited by anyone to cause chaos
or intimidation, adding that any perpetrator caught causing chaos will face the
full force of the law.
He
said his government has achieved many developments in the past 22 years.
He
denounced tribalism, describing it as an ungodly practice for it tears down the
fabric of the society allowing lawlessness and conflict to gather momentum.
He
said Gambia is a no go area for people who promote tribalism that may defeat
its peace and stability.
The
elections should not be a pathway to witch-hunt one another or be taken as
opportunity to divide families.
The
presidential poll gives chances to set the bar higher than the opposition can
reach.
