Mr. Sey, We follow with interest your sudden change of heart vis-a-vis to President Jammeh and his Administration and also, we are deeply concerned with the extent of the negativity, arrogance and self-serving diatribes addressed to his Excellency, your former boss. This is extremely puzzling to us making one question your credibility and integrity, as one remembers quite vividly your statements made in Taiwan, France and the US praising and supporting President Jammeh and his policies in the most strongest terms. You were very busy luring in investors stating that the Gambia under President Jammeh provide the best climate to do business. We also heard what you said in Texas as a guest to their House of Reps and also your declaration in Annapolis, MD while on an official visit there. We saw you defending President Jammeh’s policies online and on various avenues. Since your recall, you shifted from praise to profanity. Going online spreading all kinds of stuff trying to portray the President as the worst in the world, prophesizing that something is going to happen on the Ides of April and the bleak list goes on. Many people are struggling to understand why the shift? Some think that it is selfishness, egotism and the fact that you lost your job. Instead of explaining the reason(s) behind your recall, you went on the rampage as a wounded animal lashing out at the President and at anybody that supports him. We believe that is not fair. The President chose you to represent the Gambia in various capacities and later in the process of serving, something happened and you were recalled. The million- dollar question is why were you fired? How ungrateful one can be to someone who went too far this level with you? We are trying to understand your wounds, feel your pain and your consequent reaction after the recall as that is human nature but to go this low is beyond our comprehension. Essa, you take great pride in your family roots, your bravery and steadfastness in fighting the fight. DEM SA LAMBAJA DI YOBANTEH GALGAL. It would have made more sense if you were on the ground, engaging the President on issues rather than trying to show who you are or what you are capable of doing or achieving If you have valid concerns or issues, please raise them in a positive and more mature manner. For God’s Sake you were an ambassador, a diplomat, a supposedly intelligent man. Going online saying what you are saying is quite telling. Where is Dr. Sedat Jobe, Baboucarr Blaise Jagne, Tombong Saidy, etc.? Is this the best image you got? Rather than the bickering, the show of anger and frustration, you should ask yourself what can you positively contribute to help alleviate the conditions of Gambians. If foreigners are asking us what can they do to help Gambia, where is our sense of responsibility? It is very sad that we spend valuable times demonizing President Jammeh, dumping all kinds of dirt on him in the internet, and taking pride in it. We go further trying to tarnish the image of the Gambia in the name of hatred of President Jammeh. This is a disservice to our country. Can anyone show us a web address where citizens of other countries do business the way we do? President Jammeh is not as bad as you want us to believe. He is a young Head of State who has done some great positive things for his country and has a noble vision where he wants to see the Gambia. It is people like you Mr. Sey whom he entrusted with responsibilities that failed us as a nation. That is Intellectual dishonesty at its best. We at the ATLANTAAPRC, realize that the President cannot do it alone and have decided to join hands and rally behind him to achieve that noble vision. We expect to be labeled all kinds of names after this posting, because some people will never accept seeing others support him. But that is okay. They tend to forget that the right they are claiming that allows them to oppose him is the same we proclaim to support him. We need to train ourselves to accept that there are people who embrace the President and that does not make them any less patriotic. Essa Sey, since the launching of your crusade against President Jammeh, what have you achieved? Look at the damning allegations brought by Alieu Sanyang! Did you hear Ebou Jallow very well? Are you not on the defensive now? Don’t you think it is time to move on? We believe so. We are calling on you to let go off the bitter, the character assassinations and the hearsay, bury the hatchets and start building an atmosphere conducive to dialogue and moving forward. The Gambia is ours all, so let us desist from selling the idea of the “ides of April”. We all have our relatives there and we are on a foreign land. Mark this Mr. Sey, nothing is going to happen in April only some good news. Join us in our quest to move the Gambia forward in the most positive manner. If the Israelis and the Palestinians after all that transpired, can come to the table to prepare for their children’s future, what are we waiting for? Have a nice day.
