Yahya Jammeh
Many Gambians and the West African regional body ECOWAS in January 2017 heaved a sigh of relief when former dictator Jammeh agreed to step down and go into exile in Equatorial Guinea.
The move came after days of negotiations over his refusal to relinquish power after losing the December 2016 elections to current president Adama Barrow.
Jammeh, during his tenure, amassed wealth while his people largely lived in poverty. Reports say he went with some of his wealth into exile. He still has admirers, and the song above was recorded for him by one of them.
