The duo of Gambian Army and Naval authorities have denounced their loyalty to the embattled President Yahya Jammeh, thereby pledging it 100% to the internationally recognized President, Adama Barrow.

Gambia's army chief General Ousman Badjie told Reuters news agency that he saw internationally recognised President Adama Barrow as the new commander-and-chief and would not fight a regional force poised to depose Yahya Jammeh. 

"We are going to welcome them with flowers and make them a cup of tea."

"This is a political problem. It's a misunderstanding. We are not going to fight Nigerian, Togolese or any military that comes."

Earlier, the Gambian Navy led by Rear Admiral Sarjo Fofana, have also abandoned Jammeh while pledging to pass allegiance to Adama Barrow after swearing-in. 

A private military contractor(Humint), Naval Intelligence and Counter Terrorism/Insurgency personnel with a twitter handle, @DonKlericuzio, tweeted to this fact. 

Recall that both the country’s Vice President, Isatou Njie Saidy, the army led by its chief, Ousman Badjie and a lot of others have also abandoned Jammeh for his refusal to step down for Barrow. 

Yahya Jammeh Saidy, who had been in the role since 1997, is the highest level official to abandon Jammeh’s camp in his standoff with opposition leader Adama Barrow, who won the election. 

Unconfirmed reports said that as tension continued to mount, the wife and children of the outgoing Gambian president, Yahya Jammeh allegedly abandoned him and have equally fled the country’s capital of Banjul on the eve of the deadline given Jammeh by the ECOWAS and the African Union to step down.

Meanwhile, the 16:00 deadline for Yahya Jammeh to make up his mind over his future has passed. It was pushed back from a noon deadline earlier in the day.

Reports say Mr Jammeh's former vice-president, Isatou Njie-Saidy, is at State House as last chance negotiations there continue.

The Mauritanian and Guinean presidents are there trying to persuade Mr Jammeh to leave the country with them.

Gambian journalist Saikou Jammeh says the longtime leader has his own ideas and is likely to make a public statement.
