I haven't read through your long tirades, but you might as well accept the
uncompromising truth that Halifa has been, and is now in the enviable
position of shaping Gambia's political evolution, once again.
There is no Gambian politican whose impact has so fundamentally changed
the dynamics in our political culture; and has nurtured a generation of well
oriented Gambians, politically conscious, independent-minded, and who are
poised to be the progressive leaders of the future than in the person of Halifa
Sallah.
Halifa's undisputable role in the Gambia's political evolution is not
an accident. It is deliberate, constructive and objective. It is not
transient; it is not glorifying and it is not sanctimonous. It is a deliberate effort
to raise the awareness of a people; a conscious effort to shape the destiny
of a nation, and an unwavering commitment to see the birth of a nation whose
people are dignified and proud, and are the architects of their own destiny.
This has been and is the mission that has guided Halifa's profound
intellect, his shrewd political disposition, his acute sense of history and his
mastery of the dialectics of our contemporary Gambian politics.
It is therefore not surprising, that this person who is in the center of
the Gambia's political evolution; this person who can dictate the course of
events in our political history and who has the ability to transform the
whole political landscape, is now the subject of the most vile and vicious
disparaging of his character all because he stands in the way of people who
desperately wants their candidate to be president.
Being so incline in their subjectivity, and with the desire to
rationalize their contempt for his being, all sorts of unfounded claims has been
brought against him. Halifa has in no uncertain terms, justify the rationalization
behind his support of the 1996 constitution. It was better to have a country
with a constitution even if it was deficient in certain respects, than to
have a country with no constitution and govern by decrees.
It is simplistic to assume that because the country is predominantly a
certain ethic group, therefore most, if not all of that ethnic group, will
support a political party of that constituency.
I hope the majority of the Gambian people will be receptive to ideas that
will make the country stable and prosperous; will support the candidature of
people who are knowledgable, sincere and have the best interest of the
country at heart.
