Mballow, there is no use you speaking now over "spilled milk". When you had
the chance to advise Ousainou, you agreed with what the UDP see as their
interest and continue to believe so. This is where some of you loose me all
the time. While the country is talking about NADD and a future Gambia, you
keep talking about Ousainou and the UDP as if that is synonimous with
Gambian aspirations. The NADD MOU is Gambians' aspiration and the UDP is
against it, thus we do not want the same things.
"What i am saying is you cannot be in the diaspora and dictate the Gambians
people at the grass roots level and this is how your behavior looks like
now."
Again, you will learn a thing or two about what it means to be a citizen of
a country when this process is over. So, one has to be on the ground to
earn the right to demand better for their country?
"Finally,do not see me as your enemy, see me as a partner."
Mballow, we are at the stage of winning the hearts and minds of Gambians by
unveiling our programs and vision for the country, how can we be partners in
that? NADD is going to sell their program and the UDP is going to do like
wise, so what are we talking about when we talk about partnership at this
juncture? You are managing your campaign and NADD is doing like wise, with
the goal to defeating the APRC, but separately. That is a fact and is not
likely to change because of the conditions the UDP lay down which Gambians
that see NADD as the way forward have no interest in. Let us talk straight
to each other and stop using words loosely - partnership, unity, future
alliance, etc. The MOU that Gambians see as the first stage of our
reconstruction process, is ground zero and none is going to be padded on the
back for adopting it. It is a condition that Gambians that want change
agree upon and the UDP will not be an exception.
Mballow, I can go on and on with your fallacies, but it serves no purpose
for me. You'll believed it's either your way or the highway and have
decided to wing it alone, then so be it. Gambians are going to continue
their fight. I'm tied up any way and have only time to champion the NADD
program and vision, which starts with the MOU. Mballow, being pro NADD has
nothing to do with hating you or the UDP. The UDP at this time has a
different outlook from Gambians that believed that the NADD vision is the
way to go. So, let us focus on being saleable to the voters.
Chi Jaama
