Mr Jatta,
I certainly hope that you do not continue to respond to this man because
that only gives him an opportunity to spew his very divisive and hate filled
messages.

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
