I reject any call to transform The Gambia into an Islamic State, which seeks to divide us and pit us against one another. I will defend and strengthen the secular republican nature of our constitution, ensuring that every Gambian is free to practice their religion according to their beliefs. In a Gambia where democracy, good governance, and human rights prevail, I will restore the pride and spirit of the 'Smiling Coast' for all its people.
