Fabakary Tombong Jatta, the Party Leader of the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC), has called on the party’s faction group to reunite, emphasizing the need for unity to navigate what he described as challenging times.
“We believe in a unified and united APRC. We acknowledge that there exists division within the party but it’s a family dispute. We are resolved to recommit ourselves to ensure the unification of our family. In the circumstances, I call upon brothers on the other side to come back to their home, so that together we can sail this party through the turbulent waters, our doors are open,” Fabakary Tombong Jatta said.
Reaffirming the party’s resilience, he declared that the APRC remains stronger than ever, with a clear vision for advancing The Gambia’s development.
“We must always remain connected with the people. We must preserve our unity and discipline. We must discharge our responsibilities towards the people. We must reinforce our conviction in our principles, live it in our daily lives, and renew our determination to work harder.”
Jatta reiterated his call for reconciliation, describing the divisions as internal disputes that can be resolved. He emphasized the party’s readiness to welcome back its members, fostering a stronger and united APRC.
