Jammeh Asked Guinean Authorities Not To Fire Information Minister Tibou Camara!!!

…As First Lady Zeinab Suma Jammeh Delegates Jammeh To Conakry

Guinea Conakry: 7/27/08-  Details are emerging at this hour,  regarding the main purpose of President Yahya Jammeh’s recent trip to Guinea Conakry. Sources close to corridors of power say the President was delegated by his wife Zeinab Suma Jammeh to help prevail over his counterpart, ailing President Alasana Conteh to reconsider a decision reached to fire his Information Minister Tibou Camara, who is Zeinab’s brother-in-law. Information Minister Tibou Camara who is married to Zeinab’s sister, was lined up to be fired, but thanks to President Jammeh’s intervention his planned sacking was reversed by the sick Guinean leader and his Prime-Minister, according to sources reaching the Freedom Newspaper.

The Gambian leader who uses state funds to finance his trip,  was in Guinea to broker a peace deal between his wife’s brother-in-law and the Guinean Government. Authorities in Conakry had earlier wanted to send Minister Camara packing, but the move was reversed, following Jammeh’s persistent pleas for the authorities to forgive the embattled Information Minister.

Tibou Camara was reported to have failed to live up to expectations as a Government Minister. But sources have it that The Gambian First Lady Zeinab Suma Jammeh was the least happy about the move taken by Guinean authorities to send Camara packing.

Concerned by these developments, the First Lady instructed President Jammeh to engage the Guinean authorities so that Camara can keep his job. The Moroccan born First Lady, whose father hailed from Guinea Conakry, was able to use his husband to run overseas errands for her. Minister Camara is an in-law to the Gambian First lady.
