Mr. Barrow is in Ghana for a day’s visit.<\/p>\n

Mr. Adama Barrow, during bilateral talks with Nana Addo, expressed his gratitude to the latter for the support during the post election impasse in The Gambia, saying :”I am pleased to come and visit you in Ghana as President, as a brother and as a friend…We all contested elections at the same period, we all won the election as opposition candidates, and both incumbents lost the fight…My message is to come and say thank you.”<\/p>\n

“We have a proverb that if you want to visit a farmer and you want to thank him for a remarkable job, you have to visit him at his or her farm and that is why I am here today. The most interesting is the ECOWAS Head of States including yourself and Ghana intervened in The Gambia….,” Mr. Barrow added.<\/p>\n

There had been heightened tensions in The Gambia, after long-time ruler Yahya Jammeh, rejected the results of their December 1, 2016 election, weeks after he had conceded defeat to the opposition leader, Adama Barrow.<\/p>\n

Yahya Jammeh eventually\u00a0stepped<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>down under pressure from ECOWAS and the AU.<\/p>\n

President Nana Addo for his part, expressed joy over Mr. Barrow’s visit, saying \u201cIt is a joy for us to see you here with us in Ghana. I will always have you closely associated in my memory because one of the first important decisions I had to take when I became President was about The Gambia. And that was the decision I made to support the ECOWAS military force with Ghanaian troops.”<\/p>\n

The President explained that, he decided to support the ECOWAS mission with some 208 soldiers during the post-election impasse because “the\u00a0process of democratic consolidation in Africa requires that the region’s standards will support the Gambian people.”<\/p>\n
