Am all good for these leaders to challenge each other on everything public.

However that's not the case here. There is a law in books that state
someone can't be a candidate if /'s/he reaches certain age.

Why should OJ tell Ousainou that time is up? As he decide to quit, I hope
we will hear what Ousainou will do.

Whether hypocrisy or anything we want to it.

Be careful pointing fingers - well not the time but we have a lot to point
at PPP administration which OJ is a member and all will be about Gambia and
not their person.

Again am not holding brief for Ousainou/UDP.
