At a recent presser convened by the National People’s Party at its Churchill’s Town bureau, Seedy Njie, who is making his first public deliberation following the demise stated; “This is our first press conference and I wish to, on belalf of the secretary general and party leader, the president of The Gambia and commander-in-chief of Armed Forces, His Excellency President Adama Barrow to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the late vice President, Dr. Badara Alieu Joof. On that we wish to pray the Aalmighty Allah to grant him eternal grace in Jannah.”
Njie described the late statesman as someone who served this country with distinction as a junior public civil servant, gradually rising through the ranks to the climax as permanent secretary, as well as serving in the international community and to the second highest office in the country as vice president, where he helped drive government policies for and on behalf of the President until his demise.
Mr. Njie, thus, extended heartfelt condolence to his family and the Gambian populace as a whole.
In the same vein, Mr. Njie also wished on behalf of all and sundry on behalf of secretary general and party leader, His Excellency President Adama Barrow, a very happy 58th independence anniversary for The Gambia, adding he hoped that the country would witness many Independence Days.
