Jarra-born Pato Jallow is part of presidential aspirant, Essa Faal's campaign team. He took a one month break from work to help the former TRRC lead counsel to win the December 4 presidential election.

"I took the break to fully focus on the campaign. I am fully committed to seeing him achieve his goal of becoming the 3rd president of The Gambia," said Pato.

The young man, who works for a painting company, added. "Our country needs a leader with good foresight, experience, and the zeal geared towards uplifting the masses and raising the standard of living of Gambian people."

Pato appealed to his fellow young people to vote for Essa on December 4 saying: " With the current leaders lining up for the presidential election, I see Essa Faal as the right man to lead us. The politics of “Nahanteh” is over, if Gambians want the best, we have to vote for the best.

”For many years we have cried to have a leader like Essa Faal who is wealthy, honest, knowledgeable, humble, experienced, and above all who will have the country's interest at heart. If Essa Faal is elected into office, he will be there for all Gambians irrespective of party, religion or surname."

Essa Faal will submit his presidential nomination papers to the IEC next week at the Election House along the Bertil Harding Highway.
