Again Tombong is attempting the same nauseating obfuscations regarding the President's arrival. It is true that the Presidents stipulated time of arrival was for 7.00am Gambian time and good old Tombong did say that, he however purposefully omitted to say that the President instead sneaked in at 2.30 in the morning. In an attempt to explain away such a cowardly action by a sitting head of state Mr Saidy wants us to believe "the pilot gained time" . Just exactly how does a pilot gain time? Aircraft departure and arrival times are fairly routine and predicable especially for relatively short commutes like flying from Cuba to Gambia.. This is simply a calculated fallacy. Here is what happened exactly: The Presidents Aircraft landed at 2.30am. As soon as the plane came to a stop at the tarmac, all lights were temporarily shut off and the President quickly got into a waiting vehicle and sped away. That's it! This is from a source at the airport. You will realise Mr Saidy did not tell us about the President's usually rumbling motorcade that routinely choke the pothole filled streets any time he comes from the airport. What has gotten to Tombong Saidy? The guy is worse than a Soviet era propaganda commissar. He does not seem to realise that theirs is a lost cause. Even more I don't know why he feels the need spin the kinds of fanciful tales to members of this list. This is not GRTS!
