UK Congratulates President Barrow by Nobody: 6:42pm On Jan 19, 2017
UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has issued a statement, congratulating former estate agent Adama Barrow following his controversial inauguration as president of The Gambia:

" The elections of 1 December 2016 were free and fair, and an orderly expression of democratic choice by the Gambian people. They represent a new chapter in the country’s history and an opportunity for change in The Gambia.

"The United Kingdom pays tribute to the decisive leadership shown by [the West African regional body] ECOWAS and the supportive role played by the African Union in ensuring that the democratic wishes of the Gambian people will be respected.

"It is vital that former President Jammeh now stands aside to allow an orderly transition.

"The United Kingdom has a long and historic relationship with The Gambia and I look forward to working closely with President Barrow’s government to further develop our already strong bilateral and economic links."

Jammeh still has time to step aside honourably or it will be done in the hard way for him. He can't rule forever. The Gambians have made their decisions. And it must be respected.

He should learn from Goodluck Jonathan and the immediate past president of Ghana,
