initially replaced by Maba Jobe, but Jobe's appointment was revoked after a week in favour of Bala Garba Jahumpa. In February 2007, Bajo was appointed Ambassador to Iran, a new position. Gambian relations with Iran had been "cordial but not particularly close" in the past, but by the late 2000s Iran had become a "relatively important source of imports". Bajo's next appointment was as Ambassador to Qatar, which he took up in July 2009. He returned to cabinet in February 2010 with responsibility for fisheries, water resources, and National Assembly matters, but left in February 2012 in order to take up the position of Ambassador to Morocco. Bajo briefly returned to cabinet in April 2014, replacing Ousman Sonko as Minister of the Interior, but served for only a short period before Sonko was recalled. He returned to Morocco, but was replaced as ambassador a short time later, in June 2014. Football In September 2014, Bajo was elected president of the Gambia Football Federation (GFF), the governing body of association football in the country. Questions were raised about the fairness of the result, with allegations made that the vote had been rigged to ensure the success of the government's preferred candidate. The GFF board had been dissolved by FIFA earlier that year due to government interference.
