Liberia’s president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has expressed anger and disappointment at President Yahya Jammeh of the Gambia for recording and broadcasting their private phone conversation.

Mrs Sirleaf accused Mr Jammeh of playing games.
“At the time he called me, I was thinking that he was going to find a way out of this and he was going to be able to work with the [mediation] team but clearly, clearly it was just a game. It was just a ruse on his part,” she told the BBC Focus On Africa Programme.
On Sunday, Mr Jammeh telephoned Mrs Sirleaf, chairperson of the regional bloc Ecowas, and appealed to her to help provide Supreme Court judges to preside over his election petition.
In the phone conversation which was broadcast on state television, Mr Jammeh said he want to resolve the election dispute peacefully through the court in line with the provisions of the Gambian constitution.
He also told Mrs Sirleaf that he had filed an injunction at the supreme court, which the Chief Justice today declined to hear.

But Sirleaf said it is unfortunate that Mr Jammeh had recorded the conversation without advising her of his intention.

“Unfortunately, being the person that he is, he recorded and televised the conversation without advising me of his intent to do so,” she said.
“Let me make it very, very clear. There is no change in Ecowas’s position. The constitution of the Gambia must be respected. My only duty was to take his appeal and pass it on to the mediating team.”

jammeh just shot himself!!!

that jammeh na confirm babalawo ooo!! he is trying to cause confusion among ecowas with that video, i believe he has something to do with the dog attack on barrow's son. My opinion oooo!

She is a dumb fvck and played into his hand! She hailed him and told him this is how he would have spoken and Nigeria and others would do something. She has exposed herself as having subtle support for a fellow sit tight and clueless leader. She made it look like Nigeria is the problem.


Jammeh the clown should not be trusted.

Like Jammeh like Governor Fayose.

Watching the drama

This Jammeh guy is a master in mind games

Drama

Enough of appeal...forcefully get the retarded maniac out. GAMBIA MUST BE FREE

I hope this guy's case won't be like Gaddafi own

If you have nothing to hide there's no need being disappointed due to the recording

I'm very sure you're speech was unworthy of what you're supposed to say but since I've not watched the video lemme not conclude yet

She did not support him but she had to respect the fact that Jammeh is still President and she said she will see if it can be done.

Jammeh must think ECOWAS is joking with him and he is acting like some 8-yer old.

Lets wait and see what happenes from Jan 20

Buhari is useless, when will Buhari obey ECOWAS Court too. If I be jammey na slap I go slap Buhari if he enter my office. Buhari think he's above the law. Let him show example first and other African leaders will follow. Just like how Jonathan showed good example to other African leaders that if you lose election just leave. Unfortunately Buhari doesn't respect ECOWAS Court then to talk of our own Nigerian laws. Jammey have to do as Buhari is doing

This man is a huge disgrace . . . pray he doesn't plunge Gambia into a crisis.

Ecomog will soon jam Jammeh.

His days on that seat are numbered. His days on earth I cannot say.

This man's story reminds me of pharoe.....if he is not careful,he will end up like him

Hmmmmmm, tori leke plaza! So this man instead of packing his things is looking for who to pull down with him when he crashes

unlike our clueless Bubu that cant even think straight.

how i wish Bubu can play a mind game on our economy like this jammeh of a guy

who has d content of d phone conversation?

Anybody have any link to where I can listen to the conversation?

Yahya Jammeh knows he's going down but he doesn't want to go down alone. The funny and sad truth is that he's alone in this game he's playing. Nobody seems to be willing to dance to his tunes, they all know what happened to gadhaffi and gbagbo, African leaders are wise enough to know that his kinda moves never end well.

Sorry your laziness expects PMB to feed you everyday.

Any link to the record?

Jammeh wanted to rope Saliff and the mediating team into the mess and use it as the reason for the chaos about to burst in Gambia if he stays.

His intentions are clear and very evil of his to record the conversation and broadcast it without the consent of Saliff

Buhari must go, he's an illiterate

Okay

Fayose is the best gov in nigeria , without a person like him fulani herdmen with the support of fg would have taken over every state and kill at will as it happened in kaduna
