Brothers I dont think anyone on the L dare say PPP government is the best Gambians can come up with. Obviously, we can do better than that. The political situation in the Gambia is at a crossroads. United, we prevail, devided we are stuck with Yaya Jammeh for another term. What we must understand is that the PPP, despite their dismal record, can still generate votes if they contest in the upcoming elections. I know diehard supporters of Jawara who think he is the best that has ever happened to The Gambia. What we ought to be concentrating on is talking to the "affected decree 89 politicians" and trying to get them aboard our ship. Eventhough, I feel the same qualms about the PPP returning to prominence, I would rather have them working hand in glove with the opposition than have them contesting as a seperate party. I do not see any one party winning elections in the Gambia as an opposition. If anyone believes otherwise, I have a nice bridge to sell them. That being the situation, we should engage in discourse that helps bring forth a united opposition and give them all our support.
