        he should be appreciated and honored for conceding defeat. It's rare for a typical African Leader to do what he did. Ask Mugabe!

        He lost an election that is not failure in the real sense of it. Stop the unwanted narrative.

        At least Jammeh acceded to democracy, for which he must be admired.
