One Gambia 🇬🇲
Imam Baba Leigh and Seedy S.K. Njie have, in my view, become symbols of a dangerous direction in Gambian politics—where tribal identity is being dragged into political battles.
For generations, Gambians have lived together, intermarried, shared families, mosques, villages and communities. We are too connected to allow politicians to turn our tribes against one another for political gain.
Recent controversy surrounding comments attributed to Seedy Njie has already triggered condemnation and calls for accountability, while reports say President Barrow has been urged to address the matter.
And yes, President Adama Barrow must answer the political question: does his government genuinely reject tribal politics, or will controversial statements from people close to his administration continue without consequences?
We should challenge individuals for what they say and do—not attack entire tribes.
The Gambia is not Mandinka. It is not Fula. It is not Wolof. It is not Jola. It is not Serahule.
The Gambia belongs to ALL Gambians. 🇬🇲
Enough of the tribal games. Our children deserve a united country—not politicians manufacturing division to win elections.
