The
wives of the President-elect, Fatoumatta Bah-Barrow and Sarjo Mballow-Barrow,
have applauded the Gambian people for electing their husband, Adama Barrow, as
the country’s newly President.
Speaking
in an interview with The Point newspaper at Barrow’s residence at the
Yarambamba Estate, Fatoumatta Bah-Barrow, the first wife, said she was more
than happy and lost for words in congratulating the Gambian people, who have
spoken and made the right choice by choosing Adama Barrow as the president of
the third Republic.
“I would like to thank all the Gambian people
who voted for him, and I will assure you that you have chosen the best
candidate for this position.
“He
is honest, trustworthy, and respectful and, above all, a hard-working man who
has the interest of all Gambian people at heart, and with him “The Gambia will
be great again - in Shaa Allah”, she added.
Sarjo
Mballow-Barrow, the 2nd wife, also thanked and commended the Gambian people for
her husband’s victory.
She
said her husband’s winning was for all and sundry, because in the end The
Gambia belongs to all.
“We
really appreciate all that the people of The Gambia have been doing, starting
from the campaign to the end of the process; and we will assure the people that
our husband is ready to work with anyone to make The Gambia the best country in
Africa.”
They
described the president-elect as honest, trustworthy, and accommodative and,
above all, a God-fearing man who has the interest of the Gambian people at
heart, and who is ready to work for the betterment of the country.
He
would do everything to make sure he achieves those dreams and make The Gambia a
better place for all, they said.
Barrow’s
wives also thanked and commended the people in the Diaspora for contributing
immensely to the coalition’s efforts, leading to such a transition which every
patriotic Gambian was yearning for and dreaming of over the years.
They
as well thanked the Almighty Allah for the successful election, for without Him
success would not have been achieved.
