Dr. Janneh,
You are welcome and glad that you have finally made up your mind to join the APRC. I know you will be called all sorts of names, but do not mind the distracters. You have a right to join any political party and I am glad that you are brave enough to announce it publicly.
Many have joined the APRC in the last few months but some of them are not brave enough to announce it.
The APRC is open to all Gambia and all are invited. You can be a member of the APRC and continue fighting for justice.
Once again, welcome.
PEACE
Tombong
