The chief ruling-APRC advocate has distanced his party from the comment made by opposition-UDP leader Ousainou Darboe that it would be ‘disastrous’ if the Supreme Islamic Council’s decision to declare Ahmadis non-Muslim ‘had a political backing’.

Yankuba Colley, the Mayor of the Kanifing Municipality

Yankuba Colley who is also the mayor of the Kanifing Municipality while speaking exclusively to The Standard said the latest stance of the Supreme Islamic Council against the Ahmadis was not an ‘executive order’.

“It is not an executive order and that’s it. SIC is a religious body and we are a political party and a government. We have nothing to do with that,” he added. “Now that the Ahmadis also responded, let him come on that also. You see when someone wants cheap popularity, he does whatever he wants to do.”

“These people [opposition] only talk about problems. You will never hear them talk about something that is progressive for this country. They only talk about problems and what will bring in problems. He [Darboe] cannot provoke us on anything because we know them. Are we the Supreme Islamic Council? No. SIC is a religious entity and it has nothing to do with our political programmes.”
