Brother Sidibeh,
I am glad you have put the perspective of how the coalition suggestion came
into being as opposed to it being an idea that PDOIS proposed because they
command only 3% of the vote as your last reply seemed to imply.
I am also certain that you will not find in any of my exchange with you
where I said that the 3% of the vote you said PDOIS command is your idea or a UDP
fabrication. What I said about it is quite clear and I observe again that it
is something that all the UDP supporters seem to think is something to dwell
upon.
I am not anti UDP, instead, I like to think of myself as taking a position
that is pro Gambia and Gambians.
I also doubt that an insightful brother like yourself would find it hard to
decipher or secure objective knowledge about those who have the best interest
of our people at heart.
Additionally, I think that right now with the impending elections is exactly
the right time for these exchanges regarding the future of our country
instead of giving the politicians a reprieve until later after the fact.
I have also said my piece and I think the points I wanted to put across have
been conveyed clearly and concisely such that what I have written cannot be
misunderstood.
Have a good evening.

Sister Jabou,
No. The idea of a coalition was originally from Gambians in the diaspora.
The simple realisation that when the efforts of the opposition parties are
combined, the resultant strength of their numbers, their ideas, among other
qualities could give the APRC the boots, made them suggest a coalition.
Every party, including PDOIS saw the wisdom inherent in that idea and made
sacrifices on their own identity and profile and accepted the idea.
That PDOIS polled less than 3% of the national vote is neither my idea nor
a UDP fabrication. It is a historical fact! and thinking that mentioning it
might mean supporting a UDP campaign claim is a most twisted piece of logic.
(And I am quoting from a source nearly five years old!). But being such a
fervent anti-UDPian, I can understand your propensity to see a frenzied UDP
wolf behind every bush.
I do not have any means of obtaining objective knowledge about "those who
have the best interest of the people at heart". But I am confident many
people, including those who suggested Ousainou Darboe as leader of the
coalition, could have the best interest of the people at heart even if they
fail to recognise, unlike you, the ignorance of our people in choosing their
true leaders. It could simply be the case that the rest of us are just that
ignorant.
I have explained why such an exchange is so useless at this point in time,
and so I will rest my case here until when I think it might be of some use.
Thank you for your time,
Momodou S Sidibeh
