Suntou,

 
When you accused PDOIS's Executive Committee members of misleading the Gambian electorate to vote for the 1996/97 Constitution, it would been very naive of you had you expected an all-round embrace. You expressed in your so-called "humble analysis" that: “There were better reasons why PDOIS Executives decided to trick Gambians into voting for a constitution that was totally flawed.” (Suntou) – Underlined word for highlight by me.
 
Trick: Deceitful or cunning action or plan (Collins Pocket English Dictionary).
 
Then you Suntou further stated: “Executives of PDOIS thought it was all in their favour being the only active political party operating in total defiance of military ban on all political parties.” OK, assuming that all your above statement was factual, what’s the problem from your perspective? Is it PDOIS’s optimism that “it was all in their favour” or PDOIS’s “total defiance of military ban on all political parties”? Why then didn’t other parties join PDOIS in their total defiance of the military junta’s ban on all political parties? I hope and pray that you won’t  respond that it is because PDOIS planned and executed the military take-over with the American military sailors of the USS County Lamouire? You knowingly accuse honourable people of dishonorable acts and you think that’s fine. But when you in turn stand accused of causing discord among opposition ranks, you want to cry foul play. How fair is that! 
 
You concluded with: “For historical reflections, the Executive of PDOIS can now keep the crown for leading Gambians towards a political doom.” (Suntou)
 
In essence, you, Does the above mean that PDOIS is responsible for The Gambia’s current state of political affairs? Not the British Colonialists! Not the PPP! Not A(F)PRC! Certainly, not your UDP/NRP coalition!  If so, that’s incredible! Mbamah kokoh!
 
Which Crown could PDOIS be after? Yahya Jammeh’s crown usurped from Sir Dawda? FYI, PDOIS as a party does not seek crowns or believe in political clowns. 
 
No more coronations! 
 
Sorry for the many questions. Hope you can answer some if not all.
