Alasan David Cham, the Chief of Nianija District in the Central River Region, has commended President Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh for providing rice for sale at a reasonable price in his district, and for the goodwill gesture in the form of bags of sugar for the people of Nianija.

In an interview with the Daily Observer's Janjangbureh correspondent, last Monday, Chief David Cham said the rice had been provided at the right time, as the crops cultivated are yet to be harvested.

Chief Cham called on his people to rally behind President Jammeh, whom he described as a dynamic and visionary leader. He further pointed out that the gesture of providing the rice for his people was clearly an indication of the interest he has for Gambians. He asserted his continued support of President Jammeh, calling on his people to support the Gambian leader. Alhagie Sankung Sillah, the Alkalo of Bakadagie Jailand, hailed President Jammeh's for providing rice to the local communities.
