I have respected the accord signed between myself, ECOWAS, and other organizations.

However, those bodies have not always upheld their end of the agreement.

I will not bow down before anybody, except the almighty Allah and if they don't like that they can go to hell.

I will deliver to the Gambian people and if I have to rule this country for one billion years, I will, if Allah says so.

The man at the head of Jammeh’s party, Fabakary Tombong Jatta, is now the Speaker of the Gambia National Assembly.
