I will reproduce below the full text of my apology to His Excellency, Dr. Alhajie Y. A. J. J. Jammeh, President of the Republic of The Gambia. I am very glad that my dear brother has forgiven me, and ishallah, next elections I will make sure he has a landslide victory. Ku nee Ak kalla Saff! __________________________________________________________________ H. E. Dr. Y. A. J. J. Jammeh President of the Republic of The Gambia State House, Banjul, The Gambia 16 November, 2001 Your Excellency, I would like to join the ranks of those who wish you well by extending my congratulations to you and the APRC. May Allah give you the wisdom to govern our beloved country. Years have passed since we last heard from each other. I choose to break the silence today and render my unconditional apology to your Excellency. I cannot list the wrongs and trespasses I have committed against you in person without exhausting this letter. However, I believe that our common interest for a better Gambia far exceeds our individual differences. Only the divine grace of Allah and the love of Christ can ever solve the mystery of passions that have divided us. I wish you well and pledge my support to all your sincere efforts towards the development of the Gambia. I hope and pray we use this opportunity to resolve all innuendoes, malicious propaganda and riddles about any misappropriated public funds that have been peddled by the envious for so long. I pray Allah’s infinite mercy to accept our supplications during the holy month of Ramadan.
