- “Overstaying in power should no longer be allowed. It is time to revisit
term for the presidency,”

- “The Gambia is a signatory to many human rights protocols and
conventions. Therefore, the Jammeh administration should fulfill its
obligations, locally and internationally, and promote and protect human
rights.
“I am also appealing to President Jammeh to grant amnesty to all political
prisoners. This would be a credit to the government, because all these
contribute to the country’s poor ranking on human rights,”

-  “We will continue defending the interest of the country. We will stand
firm on our decisions and do what is expected of us.”

- “Being an APRC or opposition sympathiser, everyone needs to enjoy
development. It is very wrong for the Jammeh administration to state that
only those who voted for the APRC would enjoy development. That is
undemocratic"

- “The fact of the matter is that every Gambian pays tax. So when it comes
to development, every constituency should benefit, irrespective of their
political affiliation, and not to be segregated by the executive,”

- Mr Jallow also called on Gambians to consider voting opposition into
parliament, saying that this would promote democracy.

He was however quick to assert that it is rather unfortunate that Gambian
voters threatened by the powers that be. “This is worrying and sad because
democracy is about equality. In The Gambia, the electorate are threatened
by the [Jammeh] administration. Kiang West is one such typical example.”
