The United Democratic Party has denied that it has approached Seedy SK. Njie, the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly to become a member of the party after his return from Equatorial Guinea with the former President Yahya Jammeh.
The”The facts are clear. Upon his return from Equatorial Guinea, following actions and statements that contributed to political tension and nearly plunged the country into instability, Seedy Njie actively sought to engage members of the UDP leadership. He made several attempts to secure an audience with H.E. Ousainu Darboe under the pretext of “national reconciliation.” These efforts were unsuccessful,” UDP clarified.
The party said following Njie’s attempts, he turned his attention to President Adama Barrow and later played a key role in fostering division and mistrust between political leaders.
”President Barrow himself publicly acknowledged at a political rally that Seedy Njie, alongside Fabakary Tombong Jatta, approached him and proposed political arrangements that ultimately undermined prior commitments made to the Gambian people, particularly those relating to the coalition government.”
”The UDP and its Party Leader categorically reject and dismiss these claims as false. We urge the public to remain vigilant against deliberate distortions of facts intended to mislead and confuse.”
