Troops secure Banjul for Barrow’s return

More details of the peaceful battle to restore democracy in The Gambia became known yesterday.

After days of stand-off, former President Yahya Jammeh suddenly agreed to quit office, yielding to last-minute pressure from Guinean President Alpha Conde and his Mauritanian counterpart Mohammed Ould Abdel Aziz, who were with him between Friday and Saturday.

After agreeing to leave and save The Gambia from a major crisis, Jammeh was confronted by big challenge – how to fly out.

The leaders, The Nation learnt, reached out to All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who authorised his private aircraft to be used to fly Jammeh out of Banjul, sources said.

Jammeh’s exit paved the way for the return of President Adama Barrow to take office after he was sworn in on Thursday in Dakar, Senegal.

Tinubu’s VP-CBT Falcon Jet had been with President Conde, who is a close friend of the leading politician.

It was not until late on Saturday night that Jammeh agreed to go. Sources said Tinubu was contacted to allow the use of his jet to fly Jammeh out of Banjul.

He reportedly gave a condition: it should only be used “if it will facilitate the quick exit of Jammeh and lead to the restoration of peace and democracy in The Gambia”.

The plane eventually flew out with Jammeh, his wife, mother and President Conde on board.

Senegal, it was learnt, insisted on knowing those on board before allowing it to overfly its airspace. This wish was granted. Jammeh was flown to Equitorial Guinea where he will be on exile

Jammeh arrived at the airport amid a large convoy of vehicles and throngs of cheering supporters.

He stood on a small platform to hear ceremonial music performed by a military band and then walked down a long red carpet, surrounded by dignitaries.

He climbed the steps to the plane, turned and kissed and waved a Qur’an at those assembled.

It was an emotional farewell. Many soldiers, supporters and dignitaries were crying. Others in The Gambia were glad to see the end of a 22-year dictatorship which had little respect for human rights and freedom of speech.

Gambian Longtime Leader Jammeh Leaves Capital on Guinea President’s Plane

So because a plane has two stripes, it automatically belongs to Tinubu? Why would anyone think planes can't be chartered?
Why cant people think Tinubu chartered a similar jet at some point? Even if Tinubu owns a jet with similar stripes, are the registration numbers same?
Jammeh is a freaking billionaire, so are those mediating with him. I'm sure a plane could have been chartered for him. Whoever believes this concucted nonsense needs to get his head checked.

The jet in question is a Mauritanian jet and conveyed Jammeh, his family and Guinea president -Alpha Conde to Guinea where Jammeh was offered exile. I don't see where Tinubu got in the picture like depicted here.

The plane with registration VP-CBT as seen on its tail is ran by a firm - Cumberland Consultancy SA in its fleet of planes.

Same plane details here. Note it's operator is stated as 'Corporate'
http://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1548204

The same plane with registration number VP-CBT is listed on active aircraft register to belong to Cumberland Consultancy SA

Yet, only Nigerian media online say it's Tinubu's plane.

I didn't call out the op in my post. Whoever came up with the news could be talking thrash he can't defend.

Even media outlet has become stupid these days

Some op's too

see the afonjas masturbating over tinubu

abeg who gets bleeps for sale

Tinubu and the President of Guinea Conakri are good friends.

The story is logical.

By the way, Guinea Conakri is pound for pound, one of the most resource rich contries in the world, but as is common in this continent, it is poor in reality.

Gud riddance

Tinubu charters the same jet all the time and the same jet appeared in Gambia to pick up a billionaire who can not afford to buy his own jet.?


And you know the disgraced loser in Gambia is a billionaire because you counted his money or you helped him loot the Gambian treasury?


These NL kids sef..

Can you imagine the trash from Thiefnuubu's the nation newspaper?

Gambian's president's plane has been on standby with his south African pilot for the past 72 hours before his departure yet they claim it's thiefnuubu'd plane because it has 2-strips.


I expect his yoruba muslim zombies to donate their brains to the nation (thiefnuubu's paper) for more brainwashing. Many of them already swallowed the trash unquestionably..

Maybe we should ask you to have your own head checked as well for outrightly dismissing the veracity of the report without any shred of evidence beyond speculation. Why not shame the source by actually coming up with a smoking gun evidence that the report is false?

Between you, a faceless anonymous nobody, and the source of the news report, who has more credibilty? I smell the usual anti-Tinubu bad-belle and nothing more.

That's Tinubu's jet, however, it's on lease as he uses it for business when he's not in need for it.

Look at how you just embarrassed yourself. The plane that was sitting on the tarmac belong to Gambia and not Yahya Jameh. The flag of Gambia was visible on the plane sitting on the tarmac. Whereas, the plane that flew Yahya Jameh out of Gambia was a smaller one with no Gambia flag on it.

It is one thing to hate Tinubu. But hating Tinubu shouldn't let anyone allow him/herself a subject of ridicule like you just did.

Go ahead and insult me. Proof me right... 1, 2, 3 go....

The plane in the picture was what you saw on the tarmac in Banjul, Gambia. A lot different from Tinubu's jet.

Hatred for Tinubu has turned some of you to lunatic. I'm not a fan of Tinubu whatsoever but I wouldn't be stupid to argue based on hate and foolishness.

ok

Another kid making up stories. He even counted hours and interviewed the pilot for nationality...

You spoke thrash like you had the tiniest brain you should dig for anywhere you can find it from. I regret even reading your nonsense, I could have spent that 2 seconds on something else. By the way, Jammeh left with Alpha Conde on a Mauritanian plane http://www.africanews.com/2017/01/21/focus-jammeh-to-leave-to-conakry-with-conde-barrow-wants-nationals-back-home/
People like you see pictures and claim all Mauritanian aircrafts belong to Tinubu. Pray for some sense at least. Tinubu is rich enough to own his striped private jet, does it mean all stripe jets belong to Tinubu. Habana, which kain mumu pikin be this
No go and die somewhere.

To all the whole idiots celebrating this news what business does Tinubu do to acquire private Jet?

Can we now see it as normal if all the ex governors have Private jets?



Can we also see it as normal if Diezani have private jet since both she and Tinubu retired as senior staff in a major oil firm

Dnt mind d guy! He commented out of hatred he has for Tinubu. Apart frm The Nation, other newspapers like The Vanguard and The Sun have reported same.

Jammeh WILL NEVER EVER FORGIVE president of Senegal. This Fulani man, president of Senegal took it upon himself to make sure that Jammeh is out and another Fulani Barrow is sworn in despite clear evidence of electoral fraud. He spearheaded the ECOWAS military invasion and even monitored the occupants of the plane taking Jammeh on exile. Jammeh is not a small boy, he is a former warlord. foreign agents like Charles Taylor and with strong connections. Wherever he goes, he will fund some type of coup in Senegal.

Mcheeww.. See people arguing about Tinibu's jet or not Tinibu's jet. My people, getting a jet is no big deal to some of these men. You guys don't what Nigerian politicians are worth o. Do you realize that Tinibu might be richer than the whole of Gambia, Guinea and Mauritania put together?

Daily Sun gathered that Tinubu allowed his plane ferry Jammeh out of the country, on the grounds that it will facilitate the former leader’s quick exit, and lead to the restoration of peace and democracy in The Gambia.
It was gathered that Tinubu’s VP-CBT Falcon jet, which had been with Guinean President Alpa Conde for days, was moved to Banjul, the Gambia capital, to ferry Jammeh out of the country, after a two-day stalemate on transfer of power.

BRO, I actually think you're the NL kid here.
Just today, Jammeh is accused of withdrawing $11m from Gambian government coffers within the last two weeks
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/01/gambia-ruler-yahya-jammeh-plundered-coffers-170123033901430.html
Convert that amount converted to Naira and tell me I was wrong calling him a billionaire.
That added to his net worth all over the Internet, and knowing that man is richer than Gambia itself. I knew what I was saying. I have nothing against Tinubu or his plane. I only said all striped planes don't belong to Tinubu only to see two kids screaming like I insulted their master.
Make una sit down abeg.
