He is one of the most famous Gambian media personalities in the Diaspora. On Saturday, 7th March, Waka Jagne was at Kanilai to interview H.E Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya A.J.J Jammeh.
What was the interview all about?
According to Waka, it was centered on the country’s golden jubilee. He said: “It was an exclusively interview about The Gambia turning 50, coming soon on Ben TV in the UK.”
Waka Jagne, who is based in England, is a keen supporter of the Gambian leader. He described him as a kind-hearted guy, who is nice to speak to.
“It was an honour to meet him. He is a gentle guy and knows how to create a relaxing environment.”
The famous showbiz man’s meeting with President Jammeh was criticized by some online political activists.
“I don’t really care, at the end of the day I have a job to do. I am a patriotic citizen and will do whatever it takes to promote the good image of the country,” Waka said in response.
He continued: “I want to urge Gambians to support the developments in the country. When the country is developed, it is good for everyone. After listening to the president, I know for a fact that he has the country at heart and he will definitely make it a better place for all Gambians.”
Waka Jagne is the founder and host of Talk Senegambia on Ben TV.
