(JollofNews) – Barely a few hours before his
mandate expires, President Yahya Jammeh of the
Gambia is reported to have accepted a last-
minute deal to relinquish power peacefully and go
into exile.
According to reports from Banjul which are yet to
be independently confirmed, Mr Jammeh agreed
to step down in the interest of peace and stability
of the Gambia after a tense closed door meeting
with the visiting president of Mauritania,
Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.
Reports added that Mr Jammeh will leave for
Mauritania tonight with President Aziz.
It is not clear whether he will settle there
permanently or move to another country.
Mr Jammeh’s mandate expires at midnight
tonight after his surprised defeat in last month’s
election by opposition candidate Adama Barrow.
He had vowed to cling to power after accusing
the country’s electoral commission of rigging the
election in favour of the opposition.
His attempt to overturn the election result at the
Supreme Court has been delayed because of a
shortage of judges as most of the judges come
from neighbouring countries.
Neighbouring Senegal and Nigeria have
threatened to storm Banjul militarily and enforce
last month’s election results unless he steps
down by midnight.

Good for him

I was waiting for him to prove his point with his ill-trained, incompetent and unmotivated 2000+ man army against the ECOWAS forces. he'd have slept in jail today, if not dead

Them no dey tell deaf man say war don start...



Meanwhile, Jammeh should leave Gambia like dis. He can come nd set up his trado-medicine biz in Nigeria.

IF FOR DON STAY NAAA.. I THINK SAY I'M BE JAMES BOND.

gud for him and gambia citizens

Him dey craze

Lies, lies and more lies.

This is not true.

If true, am happy for the lives which has been saved by his recent decision.

Please has anybody confirmed this?

this Jammeh is tactically running away from prob.

This story could be true

all these jollof rice bloggers can lie sa

Save your people. don't be like illiterate buhari

Aha! He agrees to common sense at last.
I say PEACE be upon The Gambia.

He still lost in all his foolishness ..

If you fail to do the right thing now, you pay dearly for it later.... Exile is where he ll be now, instead of leaving honorably. Jammeh the Exil tyrant man

Something he would've done since and be praised for. Right action at the wrong time. This Jammeh sef

jam jammer jammeh

I though u have more than a head before.

this news has been disproved by aljazeera and BBC news. the Mauritanian president flew away alone and the impasse continues

Why waste all the goodwill?

Him for remain...mumu


If there is any President Jammeh should listen to, it is that of Nigeria. This shows that Buhari lack the gift and power of negotiations. All he knows is use of force. I am sure he already asked Buratai to declare Operation black He-goat jump for Jammeh.
