Bro Haruna, On a more serious note, the political toad metamorphosis is worrying. Even though Ganji said he resigned, then we can ask: Was he tired of one political taste, only to rejuvenate on another? I am not trying to read his intention at the time of resignation, but I think he was playing his political cards certainly to his own advantage, notably from PPP, to father of the UDP as he claims, to NADD executive associate, to resignation with intention of going back to UN, and finally to the APRC, a group he vehemently vowed to persecute. It was a similar story Mr. Juwara started, that he was an elder of the Niamina community, that he was bound to attend meetings, and do campaign for the candidate he supports, etc...and before cockcrow, it was like the Juda of Nazareth. Like my friend would jokingly say, “if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and looks like a duck….then it is clearly a duck.” To what the future holds for Gambia politics, I only hope that big wing politicians (if there is any such term) will stop mortgaging themselves for material gain. Sometimes I honestly don’t get it in politics. I am glad you like the interview. Thanks Yero There is no god but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger. Fear and Worship only Allah alone!

Did you mean Ganji's story is NOT plausible because his reasons for working for Yahya are not accurate? Thanx in advance. One thing struck me though: Ganji did not defect from the opposition to APRC. He resigned from the opposition to take leave of politics. However, after Yahya gifted him some money and cows, he was coerced into WORKING FOR YAHYA. Ganji did not join APRC. He is and continues to work for Yahya. It is a subtle but significant difference. If we read the interview more closely, that became apparent after Yahya gifted him the money. Check out what Yahya said to him. Ganji is an economic migrant. In his own country. And so are Rambo and Uwaa. Foroyaa koleyaataleh. I still look forward to the clarification of your statement below Owens. One thing I was pleased with Ganji's interview however is his recounting of how the UDP was formed. The quip about whether Ousainou was a founding member or not is a matter of semantics for me. But hopefully now, the idiot tribalists can discern if the UDP is a Mandingo party or not. Something tells me they will manufacture a Mandingo halo from the UDP. I must thank Yero for sharing these two interviews with us. Now we can focus on growing and strengthening the greatest party of Gambia which includes the most of Gambia's ethnicities. Unless you hit these idiots with a Mack truck, they will continue to undermine your good efforts for commoner relief. PDOIS my big beautiful black arse.

Yero As far I am concerned Ganjie's story is plausible.

Here is what Mr. Touray told me in October 2005 in an exclusive interview. http://www.allgambian.net/news-stories_271.html Here is what Mr. Touray recently told the DO. http://observer.gm/africa/gambia/article/interview-with-governor-ganyie-touray In conclusion, it begs the question, thus: Is politics all about big rhetorics, big headlines, making money, and mere utterances with no consistency in meaning towards uttered at any given time? Methinks so! I am sure others who believe in the power of politics will disagree based on the fact of other consistent political leaders. To which side one belongs, the truth is politics especially that observed in most African countries is not fundamentally principled, but rather based on picking the master’s crumbs like a pet doggie yearning for more and more crumbs at any time from the fat master on the high chair.
