This is absolutely right, and if anyone does not believe it, time will prove
it to be so.
I think the handwriting is on the wall, and if the opposition parties do not
form a united front to turn the tide, then their refusal to do so for
whatever reason, will leave no doubt in the minds of all Gambians that
perhaps their agenda is self serving afterall, and not for the common good of
the people as they expouse.

If  interest in peace, democracy and common prosperity for all is the
motivating factor for our aspiring politicians and political parties, then we
cannot help but ask them, when will you form a common platform to rescue our
nation from impending doom? It is time these political parties tell us
whether they stand for the welfare of our nation and our people, or whether
they are just interested in pursuing their own agenda for self preservation
and the pursuit of power.
