On Tuesday, Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari said that Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh had been very receptive to a delegation of West African leaders who were expected to urge the long-ruling leader to relinquish power following a poll defeat in the recent Gambia election.
When asked if Jammeh had been receptive, he told reporters shortly after the meeting: “Yes, very much so.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Gambia’s security forces sealed off the building of the Independent Electoral Commission, instructed its chairman to leave and have since barred other employees from entering.
