Haruna, you got it there. It was not Mr. Darboe who wanted to lead NADD at
all cost but the UDP which wants to lead through their leader as the biggest
opposition party in the country. This position will remain the same
regardless of what anybody said for it is based on the fundamental
principles of democratic representation as observed and practiced worldwide.
If certain leaders have some agendas that are in conflict with these
principles, then that is a matter for them. The UDP leadership will not
abdicate their obligation to the general membership of the party, and that
is notwithstanding what anybody said/says.
Also, I do not see any point in Mr. Darboe approaching people who have in
the past scorned UDP's invitation for talks and as recently as this June
2010 unwittingly refused to honour the party’s invitation to grace the
recently concluded Jarra Soma Congress. Those leaders who worth a phone call
from Mr. Darboe will certainly get one if not many. I am sure some of them
already had theirs.
This NADD squabble is now reduced to idle talks with no substance or added
value, and therefore does not worth your or indeed anybody's attention
saved for where fundamental errors needs correcting. I have no doubt that is
exactly what you are doing. Keep it up.
Kind regards
Daffeh
