Monday, November 14, 2011
The chief executive officer of Gorr Gorr Auto Workshop Friday donated a sum
of D50, 000 to the 2011 APRC campaign.

Paul Odimmegwa, accompanied by his wife, Madam Paul, made the presentation
through the vice president and minister of Women’s Affairs Aja Dr Isatou
Njie, Friday at State House. The move is a show of solidarity and support
for the Gambian leader ahead of the November 24th polls. Presenting the
money, Odimmegwa explained that he is a Nigerian by birth, but is now a
Gambian citizen. Having lived in this country for the past 22 years,
Odimmegwa said he is a living witness to the numerous developments that
took place since 1994, and called on all to vote en-mass for President
Jammeh in the forthcoming polls.

Lamin Kaba Bajo, the minister of Fisheries, Water Resources and National
Assembly Matters, who also doubles as the campaign manager of the Alliance
for Patriotic Re-Orientation and Construction (APRC) hailed Odimmegwa for
the gesture. Receiving the money, vice president Njie-Saidy thanked the
donor for the wonderful gesture. She described President Jammeh as an
international figure who has high regards for businessmen in the country.
She used the opportunity to encourage the couple to do more in the business
sector as The Gambia has a private sector-led development policy, which is
not common in most countries. She assured them of the Gambian government’s
continued support to provide the policy-enabling environment for businesses
to thrive in the country.

West Coast Region
In another development, a delegation comprising of the governor of the West
Coast Region (WCR) districts chiefs, alkalos, regional mobilisers, and APRC
stalwarts were also at the Office of the Vice President on Friday to
present a sum of D75, 265. The money is meant to augment logistics with
regards to the President Jammeh’s 2011 campaign fund.

Presenting the money, Lamin Sanneh, the governor of WCR said the move is
inline with showing solidarity and unending support to President Jammeh
ahead of the November 24th Polls. Alhaji Demba Sanyang, the Paramount Chief
of The Gambia echoed similar sentiments. He commended Governor Sanneh for
his proactive stance towards the APRC.

Other speakers such as Hon. Abba Sanyang, the National Assembly member for
Bondali; and Lady Councilor Siffai Hydara and Isatou Jarju, the regional
Women mobiliser of the WCR; all promised President Jammeh of their unending
loyalty and solidarity at all times. They used the opportunity to renew
their call for people to vote massively for the APRC.

For his part, Lamin Kabba Bajo, the minister of Fisheries, Water Resources
and National Assembly Matters, thanked the people of WCR for their move,
saying their gesture demonstrates their resolve to take ownership of the
APRC. Minister Bajo described WCR as an important area for the APRC and
thanked them for their foresight. He equally assured them that the APRC
belongs to all of them and implored on the electorate to vote massively for
the ruling party in the forthcoming polls.

Receiving the money, VP Njie-Saidy thanked the entire community of WCR for
the gesture. Like previous speakers, she acknowledged that WCR is an
integral area in Gambian politics and hailed their unflinching loyalty to
President Jammeh over the years. She observed that the region voted
massively in previous elections and challenged them to regard their vote as
their right to the future.

She finally called on the electorate to vote massively in order to register
yet another landslide victory for the APRC come the November 24th polls.
