Beran, thanks once again for your forward. If this is NOT desperation on the
part of APRC, then I wonder what is. Yaya has gone absolutely nuts. Is this
how to win elections? Uncouth language insulting people and their parents?
These low-lives have lost it. I can guarantee you that even the misguided
few that attended the rally know that Yaya is a mad man. Those people are
going to take his money and come Thursday, they will go to the voting booth
where Yaya is NOT watching and vote for PRESIDENT DARBOE. The moron knows
that that is coming. That is why he was insulting people and telling the
people of Brikama that he does NOT trust them. This guy is nuts. I am still
laughing uncontrollably reading his nonsense. Listen to this one: “President
Jammeh also pointed out that the coalition was launched in Brikama "and you
were clapping for them I know you all". As my ten year old will tell me
…And!!! Is the moron going to punish the people that were clapping for
President Darboe? What a silly and immature boy Yaya is.

The moron has no clue what is in store for him this time around. Yaya’s best
bet is to run to Cuba like he is planning. And even at that people like
Colly have volunteered to hunt him down. LYING to Gambians and making false
promises and insulting people’s parents will NOT win him votes. Fancy morons
like Tombong accusing the Opposition of hateful rhetoric and character
assassination. Just what is Yaya and Yankuba Touray engaged in day in day
out? The moron has no ideas to move the country forward. Bribery,
intimidation and uncouth language are all he can muster. What a joke this
moron is?

Promising tractors to villages voting for him. Scholarships for girls in
districts voting for him. What happened to the notion that the country
belongs to ALL Gambians and NOT just APRC supporters. Under a Yaya
government (God forbid) are Alliance supporters going to be exempt from
taxation? Of course the moron is NOT thinking straight. He is saying and
doing everything to get elected. He will fail because Gambians are tired of
these empty promises and intimidation tactics. This time around, the
Opposition will meet fire with fire. Let Yaya go to Hell. All these LIES
about the Opposition arming themselves is bogus and we all know it. For
instance, just recently it was our women folk in the Alliance that ran
Baabaa Jobe away in Soma. The women beat the living daylights out of the
coward and his thugs and they ran to the Police Station again. None of the
women were wielding machetes. Gambians are standing up to the bullies.

The shame Yaya has brought to our country because of such incoherent and
utter mumbo jumbo is just mind-boggling. The sooner we get rid of the moron,
the better. Gambians are seeing first hand what is really going on. People
are seeing who is angry and hateful and who is not. President Darboe is in
high spirits and he is NOT insulting anyone. The man is almost reduced to
tears each time he sees the hundreds of thousands of Gambians that show up
to his rallies. Darboe is telling them what he is going to do to change
their lives for the better. How he is going to be the President of ALL
Gambians and ensure that everyone that puts in a decent day’s work will get
a decent standard of living. What are the losers on the other side doing?
They are upset and angry at people. Insulting our parents. Threatening
voters. Burning down buildings. Let’s wait and see what is going to happen
in a few days as it begins to sink into Yayas’ thick skull that Yankuba
Touray is trying to pull a fast one with his two million dalasis campaign
funds. God these people are hilarious.
