Mr Jobe

Once again a big thanks for your email. It appears I
will have to stop pestering you with questions about
your support for APRC.Our current exchanges though
healthy is not taking us anywhere.

I have now come to the conclusion that you will
support APRC even if the leader makes a mockery of
your own religion. I made specific reference to the
Quran just to see who will respond but once again I
was far from impressed. Believe it or not APRC is
Yahya and Yahya Jammeh is APRC. What ever action is
taken by the APRC National Assembly Members emanates
from Yahya Jammeh. To cut it short, they are NAMs just
to rubber stamp the Government's proposals be it
obnoxious or not. Your latest reference to the 2nd
Constutional Amendment Act is just an example. These
NAMs have acted under instructions from Yahya and they
dare not defy him. If you have not realised that by
now, then sorry to say it is pointless for you to
criticise them.

On that note I will try as much as I could to stop
this business of asking you questions, its taking us
no where, to say the least. Having said so, there will
be moments when I would consider it necessary to ask
you questions and you should therefore be on the look
out.

Have a wonderful day

Sanusi
