Pa Saikou Kujabi, you have not failed to disappoint me. Once again, you have demonstrated to this forum your arrogance and inability to comprehension current political developments in the Gambia, or your misguided intention to spread falsehood. Why do you have to use foul words in your in discussing fundamental issues affecting our home? Are you suffering from limited vocabulary and inability to construct ideas without resorting to insults? Why do you labeled me as a “Halifa’s Attack Dog”? Did I insult you or anyone else in my article? No. Let’s set good examples for the young ones so that our society will be a model for others to emulate. We are trying hard to remove Jammeh from power because of his bad behaviors which is as a result of his intolerance to dissent and common decency. Could you and your caliber be any different if you cannot keep your cool when your careless and immature assertions are challenged? 
   
  Why can’t we discuss the substance so we can find a better solution to our problem? Nobody will develop Gambia for us. Mother Gambia is diagnosed with a disease condition that impedes her ability to form a more perfect union to attain maximum prosperity for all her children. This disease condition has become so serious that the very existence of our nation state is under threat to collapse. It is time for the people of the Gambia to take charge of our destiny. We cannot afford to wait any longer. The gravity of the situation cannot be overemphasized. We must not extend allegiance to a group, or political organization at the detriment of the Gambia as a whole. All Gambians should be brave soldiers to safeguard the interest of our country and its peoples. It’s okay to support UDP, NRP, or NADD but patriotic citizens must be defenders of truth even if it’s against the group or party they support. 
   
  Pa Saikou Kujabi, you are being misled by Lawyer Daboe and Co. or your own inability to comprehend simple issues. Your analyses of the political developments in the Gambia are totally inaccurate. It is true that UDP had not legally existed at the time of the referendum, but it was no secrete that the would-be members and supporters advocated for a “no” vote for the 1997 republican constitution. This was a wrong choice at the time. Remember the constitution was suspended by the Junta and we were ruled by decrees that were not consistent with democratic principles. If the Gambians had listened to people like you and your caliber, Military rule would have continued longer than two years. Your master, Mr. Daboe refers to this constitution to defend his clients. Just imagine if there were no constitution, how he could refer to it. This is common sense. The constitution guarantees predictability and due process while decrees are meant to satisfy the issuers’ interest. The
 problem is not the constitution which establishes due process, but President Jammeh and his government who consistently wage a war against it. 
   
  I could not stop laughing when I read how you were trying to justify Mr. Daboe’s rationale to quit NADD. Mr. Daboe joined NADD with the hope that he was going to lead it, and once this desire became stubbornly difficult to achieve, he decided to leave and accuse his colleagues of mistrust. I agree with you that Mr. Daboe is one of the best lawyers in the Gambia, but why he could not read and comprehend the MOU before signing it. You guys are very funny indeed. Even a layman like me understood the content of the MOU. It states in no uncertain terms that all member parties have equal powers and rights in the alliance. In the same vain, UDP and all other parties have a veto power, like the UN Security Council, where a member could block the decision of the rest. Therefore, no decision can be made without consensus. This setup makes a lot of sense since none of the opposition parties could defeat Jammeh alone and the second round voting clause of the constitution is removed
 by the National Assembly. Mr. Daboe tried two times and failed in each case to defeat Jammeh. The philosophy behind NADD is unity and consensus building among the opposition and the general Gambian masses. The goal is to remove a bad system and replace it with what is best for Gambian peoples. Removing Jammeh from power is not a goal in itself; but an attempt to give power back to the people so they will be their own drivers to attain their wishes and desires.   
   
  Mr. Daboe and Mr. Bah left NADD when the Flag-bearer selection process was still ongoing. Why didn’t they request for a primary as stipulated in the MOU? If Mr. Daboe believed to be the most popular among the executive members of NADD, he should have requested for a primary. Why did they leave when the process was not exhausted? Do you remember in 2001, Mr. Daboe congratulated president Jammeh and in the process also certified the election as free and fair even before his polling agents and party officials presented their reports to him? Interestingly enough, he boycotted the subsequent Parliamentary elections citing lack of fair play. What has changed since then? I was hoping that UDP would call a press conference to let us know what has changed to enable UDP to contest the forthcoming presidential election. How does this sound to you? To me, it appears like Mr. Daboe is not genuine in his quest to rule Gambia. I believe strongly, at the time, UDP was capable of
 defeating APRC in some constituencies. This would have increased the number of opposition MPs in Parliament and they may have enough power to block some of the draconian laws enacted and promulgated by this very important institution in our sicken democracy. Pa Saikou, I hope you are following the discussion? I consider this inconsistent behavior on the part of UDP as a disservice to Gambia.
   
  You claimed that Hon. Halifa Sallah helped Yahya Jammeh stay in power. This is totally wrong, in the contrary, Halifa and others, not including your master--Mr. Daboe, engaged the junta in order to protect human rights and decency. If you could recall during the early days of the junta when a decree was passed by the junta to ban all political parties, Halifa, Sedia, Sam Sarr and others protested against the decree. These guys new exactly what they were doing. They risked their lives to ensure fundamental human rights are not violated without any resistance. At the time FOROYAA was one of the organs of PDOIS and the decree intended to ban all political parties and organs of political parties and activities. Therefore, the decree had effectively banned FOROYAA but these heroes fought against a culture of silence which was the intent of the decree. They were arrested and taken to court by the junta and when the verdict was read they were vindicated of any wrong doing. Where
 was Daboe, Hamat and other politicians? Where were you, probably hiding under your bed? Halifa has demonstrated over and over again that he is prepared to defend justice and decency at all costs. Do you recall when Mr. Daboe ran to the American Embassy because he was scared by Jammeh? He failed to realize that some Gambians have already given up their lives; some suffered excruciating physical and mental pain and humiliation; some loose their hard-earned possessions and love ones, because they stood up to support UDP and Mr. Daboe. We need leaders like Halifa who would stand their ground no matter what the consequences might be. Do you remember the open letters Halifa wrote to the Junta during the very early days of the Junta, to educate them about decency?  
   
  You also talked about the registration of NADD. As I have said before in my previous posting, NADD must be registered with the IEC for a candidate in any election in the Gambia to run under its ticket. NADD applied to register an alliance but the electoral laws of the Gambia do not envisaged the registration of an alliance. But the electoral laws, on the other hand, empower the Chairperson of the IEC to apply his discretion in any situation the laws are limited or not clear. The then IEC Chairperson registered NADD as political parties are registered but with intent of registering an alliance. This is why, when Sallah and others went to court to refute the Clerk of the National Assembly’s assertions that the plaintiffs belong to two political parties or switch their allegiance to a new party, the lawyer for the IEC which was a party to the case, argued in court for the plaintiffs’ position. Lawyer Daboe represented NADD and argued vigorously that NADD was registered as an
 alliance. Yes, Mr. Daboe could have advised the executive members against registering NADD as a political party and in actual fact; it was registered as an alliance and not a political party. I find it hard to comprehend when Mr. Daboe and his supporters arrogantly claimed to have advised NADD executive members against registering a political party when in the contrary, Daboe argued in court to convince the judge that NADD was registered as an alliance and not a political party. I wonder what you guys are trying to proof by constantly claiming that NADD executives did not heed to Mr. Daboe’s advice.
   
  Even after UDP and NRP called it quit, NADD maintain a constant dialogue with them so they could come back to continue the struggle with their comrades. Hamat came to US to talk about things he had no knowledge of and created suspicion among the negotiators and killed the best chance we had to remove Jammeh from power democratically. You called him a rising star? I would like to know what make you say that. Hamat’s actions indicate to me that he seek power and position for their sakes. If you analyze his words and actions with open mind of intellect, you would conclude as I do. We are way beyond bullshit. We are in the 21st century and leaders must possess knowledge, integrity and ability to comprehend the complex times we live. 
   
  We in the NADD are advocating for a Gambia where the people will be empowered to make informed decisions in determining their destiny under the rule of law, while Mr. Kujabi and his UDP/NRP are preoccupied with removing Jammeh from power so they can start talking about how to divide the cake. I hope every Gambian would understand these fundamental differences between NADD and UDP/NRP camps. Voting for UDP/NRP alliance is encouraging and supporting the establishment of dynasties like Jawara and Jammeh regimes. While voting for NADD is empowering the people to take charge of their destiny in order to attain sustainable, meaningful, and significant improvement in the lives of ALL Gambians. 
   
   
  Long Live Gambia!!!
  Long Live NADD!!!
  Long Live Hon. Sallah!!!

"Pa.Saikou Kujabi" <[log in to unmask]> wrote:  I have read the inept reactions from some Halifa
attack dogs in protest to my article published on
Gambia-L, Allgambian.net, and the Freedom Newspaper.

I would like to take up Mr. Muhammed. L. Touray first.
Mr. Touray made the waters even muddier by claiming
that "I hate Halifa, that Halifa saw the out come of a
"NO VOTE and defended the Draft Constitution by
propagandizing for a "Yes Vote" because the junta
wanted to stay for as long as it was possible, that
the 1997 constitution was better than the 1970
Republican constitution, that until it was recently
ammended, the 1997 constitution had a term limit
provision for the office of the presidency, and
provisions that promote democracy, rule of law, and
freedom". 

First of all Mr. Touray, UDP did not campaign for a NO
VOTE because it simply did not exist then. You may
want to know for your political orientation that UDP
came to being only fourteen days before the 1996
presidential elections. You may also want to know
that despite PDOIS been uninterruptedly existing for
fifteen years then, UDP pulled over a hundred and
forty thousand votes, while PDOIS ended up with less
than twenty thousand.

By all indications, Mr.Touray, you don't get it just
as Halifa always got it wrong. As I said in my last
article, only Halifa failed to understand that Yaya
Jammeh was determined to stay way beyond the
Transition period. Not after on or about November
24Th 1994 when he announced the Junta's Four year
transition programs at the Independence Stadium in
Bakau. Only Halifa and his cohorts could not read
Yaya Jammeh's lips. Besides, Muhammed, Yaya Jammeh
and his gang of criminals have always said in no
technical terms that they will never hand over power
to no one before they completed their development
programs. Every sensible Gambian knew that it was
humanly impossible that the junta's programs could not
have been implemented within two years. If Halifa
could not read Yaya Jammeh's lips, who Else's can he
read? You will also agree with me that by the time
the Draft constitution was being put together Yaya was
already condemning those who opposed the coup,
emphasizing strongly that he had to put his life on
the line to overthrow the PPP government, and
therefore whoever wanted to rule The Gambia must also
do the same. I don't know what better way or how many
more times could Yaya have said these statements
before Halifa could understand. Perhaps Halifa knew
that all the existing parties and politicians were
going to be baned, thus opening the doors of the State
House wide open for a PDOIS leadership. 

I totally disagree with you on your assertion that the
1997 constitution is by far better than the 1970
Republican constitution because it has provisions for
rule of law, freedom, accountability, etc, etc. Mr.
Touray, the 1970 Republican Constitution also had
provisions that guaranteed the rule of law, democracy,
freedom of movement, freedom of speech, freedom of
association,etc. You may want to know that it is one
of those provisions that guaranteed PDOIS's coming to
being as a political party. It is embarrassing to
realize that you are not even aware that the
two-five-year term limit for the office of the
president was never in the 1997 constitution. It was
the original draft constitution that was presented to
Provisional Ruling Council by the National
Consultative Committee(NCC) that had the two
Five-Year- term limit, forty year age qualification, 
citizenship qualification, among other important
clauses. In addition to the deliberate ommission of
the two five year term limit for the presidency, the
junta also omitted the forty year age limit to run for
president and replaced it with a sixty five year age
limit. I have no doubt that you also don't know that
the junta has indemnified themselves in this 1997
constitution. Muhammed, the omission of the two five
year term limit for the presidency alone was a genuine
cause for every true and sane Gambian to reject the
constitution in its totality. I hope you will agree
with me that a term limit would have taken care of the
troubles we are facing today, because would have long
gone by now. This most important provision would
have saved many lives, including those who were so
mysteriously murdered recently for their alleged
involvement in the alleged coup plot. We as Gambians
would have had the opportunity to hold the junta
accountable for their actions during the two year
transition period. This would have been the first
execution of the checks and balances that you
ignorantly talked about in the 1997 constitution. 
Your argument, which is a direct quotation from Halifa
that "he supported the constitution, but that it is
the same constitution that Ousainou Darboe rely on to
argue cases in court" is utter nonesense. This
argument has certainly failed the test of common
sense. As a Lawyer, it is not Ousainou's job to
ammend the constitution. To the contrary, it is
Halifa's job to introduce a bill on the floor of the
House and seek an amendment of these abnoxious clauses
that so badly affects our lives. Halifa is the one
who has that privilege as a member of Parliament. 
That is what Halifa gets paid for by you and I. How
can Ousainou alone effect an amendment to the
constitution or protest by not going to court because
there are clauses that are not acceptable to the
people. It took a whole nation to ratify this bad
constitution through the help of your flag bearer-
Sallah's aggressive campaign across the country,
along side with the July 22nd Movement, commissioners,
Seyfolu, and Alkalolus.

You and your colleagues in NEW PDOIS(NAAD) simlpy
cannot distinguish truth from fictions. The MOU that
you keep referring to is just a paper that was signed
by the parties concerned. The most important thing
about that paper is to follow and complete all the
process that was clearly outlined in it, otherwise it
cannot be regarded as legitimate. You just
contradicted yourself by complaining that Yaya Jammeh
constantly flouts the provisions of the very
constitution that he tailor made. Won't you
understand from now on that words on a piece of paper
cannot mean anything until all the stipulations
therein are followed sincerely to the latter without
fear or favor. That is what lacked in the execution
of the NAAD flag bearer selection process. The
conspiracy back fired and the traitors shot themselves
in the foot, which eventually lead them all to fall
deep into the ditch. Halifa has been falsely crying
wolf for the past twenty five years, and now he faces
a real threat from a wolf, but there is no one to come
to his aid. Leadership is about telling the truth
even if it will cost you your life, job, friends or
and sympathizers. 

Mr. Touray, your explanation about the registration of
NAAD as an Alliance as instead of a political party
was yet another indication of your lack of
information, even though you claim to be current on
the daily political issues in The Gambia. The then
NAAD Executive was advised by Ousainou Darboe about
the consequences of registering NAAD as a party. Your
jack of all trade, Halifa and his cohorts, out of
arrogance insisted against Ousainou's advise that they
should not register NAAD because there was a potential
danger. Lawyer Darboe further advised them not to
have the serving Members of Parliament append their
signatures on the MOU, but the !!!chief clerk,
political scientist, and prominent Lawyer Sallah!!!
defied Ousainou's caution. What did it cost us when
the Clerk of the House declared their seats vacant
while the delegation was in U.S? Were we not forced
into a by-election which cost the opposition a hell
lot of money. Did any of you NAAD drum beaters raise
any questions? Did you find out who led us into that
mess? In a Town Hall meeting in New York with the
then NAAD delegation from The Gambia, I took up this
matter with Halifa. I asked him how come they over
sighted the clause in the constitution that
effectively cost them their seats, considering the
fact that they have amongst their midst a prominent
Lawyer and formidable politician in the name of
Ousainou Darboe, and also taking into account their
individual experiences and knowledge about
constitutional matters. This is what Halifa had to
say "When we wanted to register NAAD we came to
realize that there was loop hole about registering it
as a political party, but as an experiment, we just
took the chance hoping that the government does not
notice it. In the process, he continued, the IEC
registered it as a political party instead of an
Alliance which in the government's interpretation
meant that we have switched our allegiance from our
original political parties". He went further to
disclose that their Lawyer (Ousainou)argued in court
that NAAD did not intend to register a party but
instead an Alliance. But the presiding judge ruled in
favor of the government". Now if I may ask you a
question Muhammed, can you tell me what your
conclusion is by Halifa's own explanation? Ousainou
Darboe is one of the toppest Lawyers in The Gambia.
Besides being the most popular and one of the only two
credible and capable politicians in The Gambia, 
Ousainou is also one of the topest Lawyers who is
very, very, very familiar with the Laws of The Gambia,
especially those that govern the electoral system. 
Again if it were not Halifa's arrogant we would have
avoided that by-election which ultimately cost Hamat
Bah his Saloum Parliamentary seat. You will also
recall that before the birth of NAAD, Hamat had been
comfortably elected twice to the National Assembly,
where he proved himself way beyond Halifa and Seedia. 
A word is enough. Go figure out who hate Halifa Mr.
Touray. Not me. All that I say here and elsewhere
are solid facts that are too hard for minds like yours
to absorb.

Let me now turn on to Pa. Morro Jallow, a Halifa
attack dog who does not know which way the wind blows
around him. You also demonstrated clearly your word
deficiency for a healthy and objective debate. First
and foremost, I thank you for not loving me. I am
not a gay, and am not interested in joining your gay
club. Thank you. 

Secondly, I would like to assure you and all the
readers of this article that I will never reduce
myself to your level by calling you names that are not
appropriate in this forum. I know better than that,
and I was not at all taken by surprise for the harsh
words and nasty names you called me. I expected that,
and I knew there were the Muhammed Tourays, Caw. Demba
Baldehs, and of course the Pa. Morro Jallows out there
willing to defend the indefensible Sallah. I will
never get mad at you Pa. "Talibeh" for two good
reasons: one, you are my "Machudo", and two, I know
already know your level of maturity both politically
and socially, which gave me a good guideline in
dealing with an individual like you including a proper
choice of language. 

Just like all the NEW PDOIS(NAAD) supporters, you have
also surfaced in an ocean of ineptitude and deception
which is the hall mark of being a NEW PDOIS(NAAD) fan.
You claimed in your article that APRC trashed UDP/NRP
Alliance in Kafuta in the last by-election. You
should have done your home work properly Mr. Jallow. 
UDP/NRP had the largest votes casted in Kafuta than
APRC and NEW PDOIS(NAAD)combined. You also alleged
that I heard from other sources that Halifa Sallah
campaigned single handed for the adoption of the Draft
constitution. Pa. Morro, I did not hear this from
anyone, I was in The Gambia when all these happened,
and every informed Gambian can testify to that, even
Halifa did not deny these facts. Sorry, I connot help
you out of your word deficiency which truly defines
the type of home boy you are. 

You also charged in desperation that we UDP are
murderes, that we murdered one Alieu Njie of
Basse(MHSRP), and that you had a word for Haruna
Darboe. Well, Mr. Jallow, the courts in The Gambia
never convicted anyone for the unfortunate death of
Alieu. We in UDP/NRP love every Gambian regardless of
their sex, tribe, religion, or political affiliation,
but only those whose five common senses fit together
well can understand that. We are not interested in
befriending arrogant and selfish traitors. 

You described Hamat Bah as an old hotel bedroom
Manager who suddenly became an MP. I can comfortably
say that you have no respect for those hard working
men and women in our Hotels who work out their swet to
put food on the table, cloth and send their kids to
school. Hotel job is as decent and skillful as any
other job. Therefore, provoking Hamat with that kind
of crap does not just make any sense at all. I
wonder what your job is Morro. One thing abundantly
clear though, is that Hamat Bah is a rising star in
The Gambian political arena, and he has proven himself
to be the most effective member of Parliament time and
time again. Halifa, and Seedia are rarely heard of in
the Parliament. As a matter of fact, your Halifa can
only be remembered for his leadership ambition in the
Parliament. A Minority Leader, an AU Parliamentarian,
Head of the Au Parliamentary Committee responsible for
the Dafur crises, and now a NEW PDOIS(NAAD)
presidential candidate, so that he can go back to
Southern Africa or elsewhere and invite the the Radio
and Television search cameras once again. I cannot
imagine how Halifa can be in charge of puting out the
Dafur fire while ignoring the fire that he set off in
his own country with his own hands. I wish I had
enough time to orientate you better on political
issues in The Gambia. Do not fool yourself by
pretending that you know me. If you do, you would
have known that I am not bringing up these facts just
because I am a name caller or disrespect for Halifa. 
I was on the ground when all thses events took place,
and for me there are no short cuts in telling the
truth. I tell it exactly as it is, regardless of what
anybody things about me.

With regards to your comments about Haruna Darboe,
"Fangna Morri", I can assure you that Haruna is not
your match just as Ousainou Darboe and Hamat are not
Halifa's match. Haruna's intelligence and decency are
unquestionable. Certainly not by your narrow mind,
and you better belief that. Haruna will never go down
with you on this path.. 

Folks, may I ask your indugience to pull the plug on
Demba Baldeh, another Halifa thin head attack dog. 
Demba, you described me as one of the ill informed and
desperate Pseudo old hand UDP/NRP supporters who
lacks information about the current political events
in The Gambia. 

You seem to be close to Halifa and the events that
surround him, more than anyone else. I can imagine
why you almost had a heart attack when you read my
article. Life would still go on had you fallen dead. 
You ignorantly muddied the waters as you desperately 
tried to defend the indefensible Sallah. Demba, if
you are as informed as you claimed to be, and as newly
educated a man who understands every English word that
Halifa uttered, how come you did not know that Halifa
and Seedia's arrests happened in only a couple of days
after the July 22ND coup-DE-tat in 1994 and not in
1995 as you claimed. You also claimed that I am ill
informed about the political events in the Gambia. 
Well, "Maudo Demba" you should have named me at least
one or more events that are currently going on in The
Gambia that you think I am not aware of. You clearly
don't know why Yaya Jammeh sent Hamat, Oj, Halifa and
Waa to jail. It was not at all about the open letter
Halifa wrote on behalf of NAAD. It was an exercise of
power that Yaya has always been proud of. Mr. Newly
schooled, didn't Yaya promise on National TV that he
WILL GIVE THE OPPOSITION A KORETEH "KORITEH GIFT"? 
Didn't he say that before their arrests? Did you not
belief him? You must be out of your mind if you would
not have believed in Yaya's craziness. Yaya was
determined to send our brothers to jail anyway,
regardless of how good or bad the evidence were. I
wonder what new school you attended Demba? Meanwhile,
you have made it abundantly clear that your only
influence about Halifa is the GOOD ENGLISH that he
speaks. No wonder why you just cannot connect the
dots right. You don't measure one's seriousness by
the good English he or she speaks, rather, the sense
behind the good English. You must have been busy take
note of every English word that Halifa uttered at the
Seattle meeting. I can also imagine how you could be
easily carried away by any GOOD ENGLISH speaker, if
you should sit on a decision making table.

Mr. new school, I am particularly disappointed that
with all your faithfulness and ambition for Halifa
presidency, you are not even aware that on the May 20,
2006 Halifa made a usual irresponsible press release
regarding the Kombo East by-election in which he
cowardly pointed an accusing finger at me for NEW
PDOIS(NAAD)'s humiliating performance in that
election. What kind of English graduate are you
"Machudo Jola"?. Do you want to tell me that you can
only understand Halifa's spoken English but cannot
read his writings. You questioned if I cannot
understand the English when I read Halifa's writings. 
It is evident to every one now that despite the fact
that you are so close to Halifa, you still cannot
read his writings.!!What a shame on you "Caw Demba". 

You alleged that "UDP has made blunders that will lead
it to committing political suicide, and that we have
been all over the map on the issue of unity, that
first it was lack of trust, second a mistake was made
by agreeing to be equal when we are not equal". 
Demba, if ever UDP and NRP leaders have made any good
decisions, the withdrawing from NAAD was the best they
could have ever made under the circumstance, and if
that is what you consider to be a political suicide,
then you dont know what politics is. NAAD was never
meant for Ousainou and Hamat,and no matter who says
what at what given time and place, Hamat and Ousainou
have the same view regarding now NEW PDOIS(NAAD)Party.
I know for fact that I personally can mentor you in
politics for the rest of your life and you will not
get to the tip of my finger. You should not worry
about UDP/NRP committing political suicide. In fact,
you should be happy about that because that will pave
the way for your god-father to take the reigns of the
country. Demba, you really sounded ridiculous when
you crowned Halifa as the most principled and
consistent politician The Gambia has ever witnessed. 
You can't be serious, and I hope you're not. Demba,
it is about time you tell your arrogant and selfish
Halifa in the face that now is the best time for him
to do away with his ill conceived principles just for
the sake of The Gambia, and until you NEW PDOIS(NAAD)
can do that, you better sit down and short your lousy
mouths. There you are not able to contain Halifa as
he play himself into the hands of Yaya Jammeh. If
Halifa's arrogance and selfishness is what you call
principled and consistent, then you need to go back to
school Mr. New School and have someone work hard on
your mind, because you are far from being ready for a
mature dialogue. When Halifa's selection was
announced, you wrote an article on Gambia-L, titled
"Halifa Sallah once in a life time opportunity" asking
where can the African continent find some one like
him. While you are entitle to your opinion, your
perception about the NEW PDOIS(NAAD) popularity in The
Gambia clearly defines your total ignorance about how
are being fooled by your traitors on the ground,
telling you pep talks. "Machudo", every political
party, with the exemption of "NDAMBUSAN" has
originated from a representative of all sectors of
Gambian political spectrum. UDP is the best party
emulate in that regard. When are you going to wake up
from your drunkenness and see the truth for yourself?.
If UDP/NRP Alliance is a camp of losers, what is NAAD
then, "Macchudo" Demba? 

I want to make it clear to you that UDP/NRP Alliance
is the the only credible and formidable opposition in
The Gambia. You better know that from today. I don't
care what you think about Ousainou and Hamat, but they
