Speakina at a rally held at Gambissara in the Upper River Region (URR)), the President stated that all the developments that he has achieved previously fell under a period when he was he was serving as both a driver and an apprentice, citing that he is now a fully licensed development driver, pointing out his connections with partners the outsider world.
“In the coming years, our development achievements will surely overweight the progress that we have already achieved,” he stressed. “Now, I have more wisdom. I have better plans. I have been more courageous than before. I am connected to more development partners than before, both within and outside the country, and more importantly, I understand governance better now.”
Mr Barrow emphasised that his government was able to achieve so many successes because it prefers implementation of programmes to mere talking, saying some people have been talking here for 40 years but failed to achieve anything beneficial to Gambians.
Stressing the significance of development to citizens, he added that he aims to limit talking and continue to work more, outlining his achievements within the past nine years and being feasible everywhere in the country. “This is what I always emphasised,” he said while addressing a jubilant crowd.
Reaffirming his commitment to providing more development to tr rural communities, the President revealed that many roads within the URR are in his government’s plan, urging residents of the area to enrol in IEC’s voter register and vote for him so he can continue the development he started, emphasising to them that their vote is their voice and it’s what tie a social contract between the President and residents, stating that will fulfil the contractual agreement if they trusted him with their votes.
