Sidibe and Folks,After very serious considerations, I add my humble voice to  your call for the entire leadership of the opposition in The Gambia to resign and make room for  a new leadership that is fresh and will  generate the requisite political exuberance, that can dislodge dictator Jammeh and his nefariou  A(F)PRC from power.  Unity amongst the general opposition leadership is imperative to the development of a single opposition coalition. I share your view that our present leaders have not only failed to effect that unity, but have also made the likelihood of unity in the future even more remote. They should accept their collective responsibility in this regard and go.Furthermore, I wish to suggest that NADD's leadership should start looking into ways and means of amicably dissolving the organization as soon as possible.  This would engender the necessary  political environment in the opposition  for  new players to take over the task of unifying the opposition before the next elections. The presence of the current leadership and NADD would not leave enough room in which  such persons can operate effectively.  But it should be quickly added that  the current leadership should not go into political retirement. They should be on the scene playing other roles.It should be noted that NADD was not envisaged to be a permanent structure. Its role was designed to be an interim one, that would make possible the development of a democratic environment and institutions. Thus its existence in the current environment would represent an anomaly. By failing to obtain its stated objectives in the last presidential and National Assembly Elections, we have ample reasons for dissolving it. There is no doubt that a lot has been learnt through its existence, but its also obvious that emotionally hanging onto an institution which has become anachronistic would be politically futile.This is a very important debate. The purpose is to reinvent the all important unity that we urgently need to remove from power the political culture of banditry, brutality and criminality that the A(F)PRC regime has come to represent.
