Jabou Joh In a message dated 5/6/2006 4:50:09 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: Mr. Jatta, Your article of April 28th sent to Mr. Conteh has totally lacked substance, and could be confortably used to judge your level of awareness and of course your lack of political orientation,just as most of your colleagues in this forum. You asserted that Halifa Sallah has helped make the minds of generations in The Gambia. I know that PDOIS has a print media that carry stories which is not always agreable to every reader, and by the way that is true for every media report. However, I do also know for fact that Halifa is not a good politician and not likeable to most Gambian electorates compaired to Ousainou Darboe. I know people like you who consider Halifa as a perfectionist and most highly educated can never be able to connect the dots between his out dated socialist ideology and the political realities in The Gambia. It is just like selling a winter coat in The Gambia. Waa Juwara has a better explanation about PDOIS,s socialist ideology. He has always maintained that PDOIS leaders as comfusionist who talk about socialism while they don't even understand the concept. He said he studied in both Socialist and Communist societies, and therefore could teach PDOIS about socialism and the dangers it entails. The fact, however, remains that Halifa cannot be sellable to The Gambian electorates anywhere in country, the results will prove me right come October. Mr Jatta you have further embarashed yourself by asserting that UDP is in total disarray, and that Osainou Darboe and Hamat Bah alone, Ousainou will never come to power. First of all let me tell you that your analysist is yet another measure of your incompetence and lact of political orientation. UDP,s structure and membership is in tact. As a matter of fact UDP has gained more support nation-wide than now than ever before. You are incensitive of that fact that UDP had more votes in 1996 when Waa Juwara was in jail than in 2001 when he claimed to be a UDP member playing double standards. When Waa knew that UDP has come to know his dubious behavior, they put him in his place right away and gave him time to fire himself. He could not take anybody with him as he thought he could, that is why he was not able to hold a general meeting after his poorly attended meeting in his home village of Dankunku. Listen to Waa and tell me if he offers any think to the electorates he address the meetings. All he does is to castigate Yaya Jammeh for his failures but would not offer an alternative. I have been with for many years touring the entire country for weeks. In each of those trips we would argue bitterly with him when the waves are high and he goes off tract. Kemeseng Jammeh on the other hand will not be a NAAD member beyond the presidential elections, just as PDOIS's Halifa Sallah and Sedia Jatta. NAAD MPs are held hostage by the electoral laws that they arrogantly ignored and registered the alliance as a party bearing the signnatures of PDOIS, UDP, and NRP members of parliament. Kemeseng,s Jarra West Consttuency is still in firm grip by UDP. Mr. Jatta also neglected the fact about Hamat Bah's once comfortably secured seat as a result of the mess Halifa, OJ and Waa's arrogant and selfishness. Hamat Bah has won the Saloum seat twice against all odds before the creation of NAAD, and you should find an atom bit of heart for him in that regard. Had NAAD not been registered Hamat would not have lost his seat, and remeber that Hamat's constituency received more concentration than Halifa, Seedia, and Kemesseng's constituencies. What did Halifa do as the Chairman of NAAD to stop APRC from transfering thousands of voters to Hamat's constituency. You probably knew that Hamat was the most out spoken person in the opposition camp in the House of Representatives. As a result, he became the only target of Yaya Jammeh's regime while Halifa was busy pushing harder and harder for leadership and recognition. Mr. Jatta, Darboe and Hamat alone can win presidency in The Gambia. The Gambian people know them both to be decent and capable to deliver the goods that they are longing for. I have drawn the attention of the whole world through this medium and others about the role Halifa Sallah played in installing Yaya Jammeh. He was the only politican that campaigned openly for the AFPRC on Radio 1 FM all throughout the two year transition period, including his campaign for the endorsement of Yaya Jammeh's tailored made Constitution even before most Gambians could understand its contents. Jatta, you once again embarrashed yourself by own analysis about Ousainou Darboe for not been able to win in own his birth place. You should have known better and have your home work done. Seedia Jatta of PDOIS has never won a Presidential election in the Wullys, his birth place. Does that mean that Sedia cannot be a good leader or cannot win Presidency? I don't think so, if he were in a credible party. In all fairness PDOIS/NAAD die-hearts should be grateful to UDP, because Seedia Jatta does not even contest for National Assembly in I believe Wully East Constituency, his birth place. Seedia is from Sutukonding village which is in Wully East Constituency, a very strong hold of APRC since 1996. Instead, the UDP allowed him to contest the Wully West seat, a constituency that Ousainou Darboe has always won since 1996. UDP never put up a candidate against Sedia since 1996, and that is why he came a National Assembly member. We could insisted in contesting for that seat, and it is evident that UDP would have been an easy ride for UDP. The same is true in the case of Halifa Sallah who also got elected through a UDP led campaign and support. Halifa Sallah lost Serrekunda East seat to OJ many times during the PPP era. Isn't Halifa from Serrekunda? Didn't he lost to APRC in 1996? Had UDP not boycotted the 2001 National Assembly election and supported Halifa wholeheartedly would he have won that seat? UDP has always dealt with PDOIS and all the opposition parties with open hearts, but Halifa's arrogance and selfishness will certainlt lead to the demise of PDOIS, let alone a temporal party like NAAD. Finally Mr. Jatta, READ MY LIPS. Halifa and Seedia did not have much time to be in the House of Representative, at most is seven months. And you better know from today that if there is a party that is in disarray, is definitely a PDOIS led NAAD. NAAD seriouly lack leadership and focus. Halifa has been selling PDOIS's programs for the past twenty five years without any buyer and now he thought a simple change of name could earn him the trust of Gambians. Most of the PDOIS led NAAD supporters have never voted in their entire life, and even those who voted did not vote for PDOIS. I have always been a PDOIS supporter throughout my school days, and I will admit that just as most youths, I never had a voters card in 1992. Most people would just read FOROYA News Paper but would not by thier political ideology. Come May 13th next week, UDP will show its strength to the whole world, and I hope all NAAD die-hearts will be honest to themselves to concide that NAAD was NAAD only when UDP, NRP, and PPP were part of it. I hope you will come to know then that NAAD is not a party that has an atom bit of credibility all across The Gambia. The NAAD sponsored candidate in Kombo East agreed to run under NAAD ticket only when UDP refused to sponsor him, despite his own claims that he supports NAAD only when he is in Serrekunda. He is not certainly running to win, he just want to make a history. But I hope the lessons he will learn from this election will be an eye opener for any PDOIS led NAAD aspiring candidates, should there be any reason for another by-election. NEWS: UDP is holding a Mass Rally in Pirang today, and will hold their last Rally in my home town of Kafuta on Monday May 8th, 2006. By the way, Kafuta is a no go area for neither APRC nor NAAD. Note: rallies will be covered by the GRTS, that will be another opportunity for you NAAD baby seaters to have an honest predictions about the out come of this by-election. May Allah continue to be with UDP( AMEEN) Pa. Saikou Kujabi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
