APRC SPLINTER GROUP ASKS SENEGALESE JOURNALIST TO STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS

APRC splinter group has asked Senegalese journalist Pap Sane, who claimed to have interviewed former President Yahya Jammeh in exile, to stop spreading fake news.

The group dismissed his claims as false and baseless and demanded him to retract the purported headline and desist from publishing such fake news articles about our party leader.

“Former President Jammeh has not spoken to any media house or individual journalist since he left The Gambia in January 2017. The media team of APRC under Babili Mansa vehemently refutes a recent viral video circulating on social media, purportedly published by the Senegalese newspaper Atlantic Magazine,” the group’s spokesman Yankuba Jammeh said.

He added: “This news has been categorically denounced as false and baseless, with clear indications of manipulation aimed at garnering increased attention from the Senegambian audience or readership. The interim party leader Hon. Yaya Tamba, NEC, and entire party members challenge Mr. Pa Saine to retract his claims and cease publication immediately. Mr. Yaya Tamba has also confirmed that the Supreme leader has not granted an interview to any journalist or media establishment since he left the soil of The Gambia.”

Mr. Bittaye Clarifies Misinterpreted Statement, Praises Gambians' Support for Athlete Gina Mariam

In a thorough conversation with Nafuba TV, Mr. Bittaye gives his honest version of the misinterpreted statement about his managed athlete.

"I don't actually mean that Gambians at large don't value Gina Mariam. It is the Gambians who have been giving her spiritual support all along in every competition.

The thing is, Gina Mariam will always be late to arrive at competitions due to late booking of tickets or visa problems. This will sometimes even cause her to miss some competitions, unlike other top athletes who arrive 2-3 days before the commencement of the competition."

Bittaye further stated that his statement was misinterpreted, and he acknowledged Gambians' collective efforts in supporting his managed athlete.

Gambia is our homeland.
