Muhammed,
Such brilliance in you! Please let it shine and speak your mind always, honestly.
Don't mind Yanks and his brother, Haruna; my adopted grand dad who threatens to disown me every time that I get on his nerves.
I Like U grand dad. Your letter is coming and I won't be crossing any borders this time.

Dear All,
I am very grateful for all your effort in ensuring my right to participate in the democratic process of The Gambia.
Some of you disagree with you but you still want my rights to express myself restored. I cannot say anymore except to express my gratitude.
Members of the L know that my attacks on Darboe were not personal at all and all I did is to talk about issues. My brother Musa Drammeh won two elections for the PPP in 1987 and 1992 in Sandu. My cousin Chondi Drammeh stood for election for the UDP in the 1997 parliamentary election and lost. However much they are attacked I will not take it personally and I was still opposed to the PPP even though Musa Drammeh was a parliamentary secretary under the Jawara government. I oppose the APRC government even though Susan Waffa-Ogoo who taught me English Language until I passed my Common Entrance Examination was/is Secretary of state under Jammeh. My dad's elder brother Alhagie Bineh Drammeh stood for the GPP in 1987 election. Despite my relations with the above I will not react if they are attacked for their policies. Despite Yankuba Darboe's relation with Darboe he should never have
reacted the way he does simply because Darboe is his relative. I only attacked the action of Darboe. As matter of fact I would not have come to this conclusion should Yankuba Darboe not started trading in insults. I was not allowed to contribute to the L while Yankuba was allowed to continuously call me a liar. Despite all these I refrain initially to respond to Yankuba in the way he started. Yankuba went as far as insulting my Dad who has never ran for office of any sort. Thus there was no need to attack my dad on the grounds of "emotional reactionarism". Some in in L call me a PDOIS supporter. Yankuba Darboe went as far as calling me an NIA. He even accused me of being an APRC supporter. No no no I have never been an NIA never will and I have never supported the APRC and never will. however my opposition to Jammeh is not geared towards the hatred of his language grouping. It is geared towards my opposition towards his policies. I still have a very
good relation with Susan Waffa-Ogoo despite our political difference. The last time I was in The Gambia I even visited her home. As a matter of fact some of Susan's friend thought that she was my mum.
Thus members of the L I support or oppose a parties simply because of policies not because of "nepotic sentiments".
Members of the L may I inform you that it was my friend who while in the services of The Gambia Red Cross Society, was shot dead in headquarters of The Gambia Red Cross Society. This was my friend and his name is Omar Barrow. When I went to The Gambia in 2004 I visited his widow Awa Sanneh. If there is anyone who should be angry I should be the angriest. I lost a personal friend. My anger however will never be geared towards the hatred of Jammeh's tribe but my opposition of his policies. This is what principled people do. They act and they do not react. I believe in a Gambia of Productive economy, I believe in a Gambia where labour is rewarded and not mere the labour power being paid for. I believe in a Gambia where every one should live in liberty dignity and prosperity. I believe in an enlightened Gambia. I believe in the Gambia where Presidential monarchy is demystified. I believe in The Gambia where
every one say no to exploitation, no to servitude, no to degradation, no to cowardice, no to political bullying, no to dictatorship, no to megalomania, no to tribalism, no to nepotism, no to opportunism and no to poverty. I believe in The Gambia where there is equal opportunity for all. I believe in my life time of in the life time of my grand children this will happen.
Members of the L we are all working towards the common good of The Gambia. We will ever be true to The Gambia. It is time that we start working for The Gambia. It is time we throw away the vices of tribal sentiments and concentrate on the national interest. It is time for honest leaders to emerge to at least to support the honest and brave ones we have at the moment. In Sedia Jatta, Halifa Sallah and Sam Sarr we have honest, brave and principled leaders and thus they should be supported despite our sentiments.
Muhammad Bai Drammeh Bin Alhagie Sheihu Muhammad Lamin Drammeh Bin Muhammad Kanday Drammeh bin Muhammad Kissima Drammeh bin Foday Drammeh
