Gassama, I frankly do not have time to be going back and forth with you
about who said what. Even if the statements you are attributing to OJ were
in fact said by OJ, don’t you think common sense dictates that you analyze
the information and come up with your own ‘reading’. Do I take it from you
that in 1996 a ‘banned’ PPP had bank accounts and other assets it used to
finance Darboe? See, these are the sorts of lateral thinking you need to do
for yourself when faced with such information.
Now, if PPP did NOT exist in 1996 what you are dealing with is former PPP
supporters. Are you telling me that former PPP supporters financed Darboe in
1996? If that is true, are you telling me that that made Darboe a PPP
stooge? What you people need to get into your heads is that before 1994,
there was no APRC or UDP. Gambians belonged to other Parties (mainly PPP).
After PPP was banned, their supporters dispersed to the newly- formed
Parties (mainly APRC); Fatoumatta Jahumpa and Saihou Ceesay are classic
examples. How come I never hear you say that APRC is a PPP front because
some former PPP members are in APRC? See, that is the hurdle you have to
pass. In other words, show us how PPP has ever influenced Darboe. Somebody
supporting you does NOT mean that that person is controlling you.
Explain to me why Dembo Bojang (former NCP) and NOT Sam Sillah (former PPP)
was fielded by UDP to contest the Bakau seat in the last Parliamentary
election. Tell us also what Party Femi Peters (who ran the Alliance
campaign) belonged to before the coup in 1994. Rather than innuendo or lies,
give us tangible proof to show that Darboe is a weak person who was going to
be taken advantage of by the PPP. I have listed numerous occasions to show
the man’s independence. Give us the other version you have and quit dwelling
on rumors, perception and lies.
