Former Gambia President’s stay in Equatorial Guinea is beginning to stir some controversy among citizens of that country.

The country’s opposition has condemned the decision by the government to offer Mr. Yahya Jammeh a safe haven.

The former Gambian leader flew to the Central African nation after accepting to cede power to the new president, Adama Barrow.

He had refused to hand over power peacefully and was compelled to do so after several mediation talks with some West African leaders.

According to the AP, Equatorial Guinea’s convergence for social democracy said in a statement that the country’s president Teodoro Obiang will be held responsible any happenings as a result of Mr. Jammeh’s stay in the country.

The opposition said “We are not against Pan-Africanism, but we are in favour of a more objective Pan-Africanism that does not consist in just bringing over the waste of Africa”.

Yahya Jammeh has been accused of making away with millions of dollars while departing from the country on Saturday.

Mai Ahmad Fatty, an advisor to the new president of The Gambia, Adama Barrow told the BBC that more than $11m cannot be accounted for following Mr. Jammeh’s departure.

President Obiang is the longest serving African leader assuming office since 1979.
