A lawyer who represented Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh in his attempt to overturn the results of last month presidential election at the Supreme Court has called on him to relinquish power in the interest of peace and love for Gambians.

Edward Anthony Gomez who fled the Gambia into neighbouring Senegal after mounting fear and rapidly increasing tension, said Mr Jammeh should accept that everything except God’s Kingdom, comes to an end and should not allow his legacy to be described as one where “pen of the sword dipped in innocent blood writes its history on the rough page of tyranny”.
