Adama Barrow's inauguration: Question Gambians are asking

Adama Barrow

The masses of the Gambia are shouting down heavens with jubilation over the successful inauguration of their President Elect, Adama Barrow, even-though the exercise took place outside the country, in Dakar, the capital of Senegal.

But due to the atmosphere of fear in their country, the people are celebrating mainly on social media platforms, especially Facebook.

Bah Amadou, a journalist wrote, " There is jubilation everywhere. Congratulations His Excellency President Adama Barrow, President of the Third Republic of the Gambia. Just finished his official swearing-in and administration of oaths of Office in Dakar now".

" From now on President Barrow is the legally and international recognised President of the Republic of the Gambia. He is the President of the Republic Gambia from now on and will soon be in Gambian soil to rule the Country".

However many of the people said they need clarification on how Barrow will be leading their country following refusal of Yaya Jammeh to relinquish power.

Aisha Ottun Raheem, asked "Will he be ruling from Senegal now Bah Amadou? Please explain to some of us here".

Sophiyah Ceesay, "Am also asking the same Question,Is he ruling the Senegalese or the Gambian?"

In the vein, a Gambian sympathizer, Deborah Eneojo Samuel , asked "So Gambia have two Presidents now, one at home and  one in Diaspora?"

Meanwhile, it is reported that in some Gambian cities, the masses who could not hold back their ecstasy actually stormed the streets to celebrate the swearing-in of Barrow.
