What many people did not know however, is that the Gambian president flew out into exile in Guinea on the private jet of a Nigerian, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Nation reports that Tinubu’s VP-CBT Falcon Jet had been in the care of his close ally Guinea President Alpha Conde and he authorised it to be used to fly out the old regime in Gambia to pave way for a new one.
“After agreeing to leave and save The Gambia from a major crisis, Jammeh was confronted by big challenge – how to fly out.
“The leaders, The Nation learnt, reached out to All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who authorised his private aircraft to be used to fly Jammeh out of Banjul,” The Nation reported.
The report quoted sources as saying that after Tinubu was contacted to allow the use of his jet to fly Jammeh out of Banjul and he gave a condition that he would allow it only “if it will facilitate the quick exit of Jammeh and lead to the restoration of peace and democracy in The Gambia”.
The plane eventually flew out with Jammeh, his wife, mother and President Conde aboard.
Meanwhile, the new president of Gambia has assured the people of the country of adequate security, just as he also promised to leave behind an enviable legacy at the end of his tenure.
Barrow, who was greatly supported by world powers and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), also said his government will create opportunity for the people to be involved in production so that the people will not be fully dependent on other countries for their means of livelihood.

ReplyDeleteJammeh didn't leave bcos he was afraid of prosecution and seizure of his properties when he leaves office, so he decided to hold the new govt to ransom so he can sign an amnesty deal with the new govt, which he succeeded but unfortunately the agreement was political and not legal binding so the new govt can still prosecute him

The new Gambian government threatened to rejoin the ICC and have Jammeh arrested for crimes committed that's why he was clinging to power.
ReplyDeleteHope the jammeh won't pay back. What about his children and the money he stole.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahhahahaha thiefnibu will always be caught up in the midst of really nasty people

ReplyDeleteJagaban running things since 1900.Kwontinue sir.
ReplyDeleteNot true. The plane he used belonged to alpha conde, the Guinean president.
ReplyDeleteJammeh was flown out on "Tinubu's private jet" - a jet of over 60 million dollars. Tinubu had to be lent ticket money to come to Nigeria to contest election, by 2011 he had a 60 million dollar jet. Is that jet on Former Senator Former Governor Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's asset declaration as outgoing governor? And is that jet listed on Senator Remi Tinubu's asset declaration as her spouse's asset?
