Gambian President, Adama Barrow, has thanked President Akufo-Addo for his support in restoring democracy in The Gambia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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
<\/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
<\/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
