The newly sworn-president of Gambia, Adama Barrow took the oath of office on Thursday, January 19, at the Gambian embassy in Dakar, Senegal.
The ceremony was administered by Sheriff Tambadou, the president of the Gambian Bar Association. The new Gambian president is married to two wives, Fatoumatta Bah-Barrow and Sarjo Mballow-Barrow and has four children. Both wives are from the Fula ethnic group.
Habibu Barrow, his eight-year-old son, died after being bitten by a dog on January 15, 2017. Fatoumatta Bah-Barrow, the first wife, when her husband won the elections said she was more than happy and lost for words in congratulating the Gambian people, who have spoken and made the right choice by choosing Adama Barrow as the president of the third Republic.
Sarjo Mballow-Barrow, the 2nd wife, also thanked and commended the Gambian people for her husband’s victory. She said her husband’s winning was for all and sundry, because in the end The Gambia belongs to all.

I know Barrow will add 2 more wives to make the tally 4 - the maximum number of wives a husband can marry, as prescribed by the Holy Quran.
former president Alhaji Dr yaya jame also as 2 wife's the young one she is Ghanaian from Banda
there is nothing wrong with this as it is our culture. this is far better than the men who marry one but have girlfriends & you know most married African men have girlfriends. So isn't it more advisable to limit yourself to 2? So long as both women are content I don't see the problem
