Amen Lang. The unintelligent part of the whole piece was when he tried to defend PPP’s human right records; “OJ further emphasised that because of the respect for democracy and human rights, the PPP regime allowed Mr. Dibba to contest election while under detention at Mile II for alleged involvement in the 1981 coup plot with Kukoi Samba Sanyang”.
My question to O.J just in case he is hanging around the corridors of the L is, how can someone who was accused of the worst crime of the nation, be allowed to participate in a presidential election, but not allowed to post bail to campaign. What better way to guarantee a safe victory?  Talk about the games African leaders play to stay in power. The whole system stinks, and unless we get to and accept the root of the problem, this sickening cycle will never stop.

Have a safe Memorial Day weekend (BBQ weekend). We are praying for a Sunny Monday

OJ's criticisms of SM are not only three decades too late, but full of nothing one can believe.  The guy was kicked out because of the butut scandal and his inactivity, but before you know it, he's an ambassador, a minister.  Somethings don't add up in his (OJ) story.

If SM was known for having incacerate his own constituents, someone else ought to point that not a diehard PPP like Oj.  We all remember post-1981 coup d`etat.  Innocent farmers were picked up from villages and detained in prisons in the country for simply being NCP supporters, thanks to Jawara and the PPP.

OJ mention the butut scandal, but forget to remind us about the "Sana Manneh" court case.  If it's true that SM got kicked out for wrong doings in the butut scandal, who did we saw kicked out in the "Sana" case even though we all knew Sana won?  The Gambian people are fed up with these PPP nonsenses.  They need to shut up.

My advice to OJ is to let the sleeping dogs lie.

Peace!
