Daffeh, You have got a point there. 1. Is OJ really the leader of PPP, since they never voted him in politically. 2. I think he is entitled to his opinion though.

Darboe is an elected party leader who is answerable only to the general membership of the party and it is the same general membership that will decide whether he stays or not, not a self imposed interim leader of a different party. You remember in 2006, Alhagi Yahya Ceesay publicly stated that not even the executive committee of the PPP appointed OJ interim leader. That makes him nothing but a self imposed sectarian party leader. He therefore has no moral standing to preach to Darboe. He asked for this and he gets it. Now we can move on.
