>Ebrima,
>Acting in desperation, the administrative secreatry of the APRC Saja Taal,
>uttered a number of falsehoods during his interview with the Daily
>Observer. I have already commented on the likehood of an indefinite
>postponement of the November Municipal Elections because of the
>unpopularity of the APRC. They will certainly loose the elections were they
>to be held as scheduled. Ebrima, you must remember that these elections are
>over four years over-due.
>On the falsehood that Saja Taal has uttered:
>1. "This party (meaning the APRC) is one of the most transparent parties
>this country will ever have." This is a discernable lie. The APRC is the
>the most corrupt, incompetent, dishonourable bunch of bandits that ever
>assembled under the banner of a political party in the Gambia. What is
>important is that the Gambian people are fully aware of the nature and
>composition of the APRC which is peopled with sychophants, "intellectual"
>prostitutes, murderers and political nonentities.
>2." Some political parties will disappear completely because they do not
>have meaningful structures and programmes to offer to people." Saja has
>aptly described the APRC. UDP, NRP and PDOIS all have party structures
>which is the envy of the ruling party despite the latters advantages. APRC
>has no structure. What it has is Yahya Jammeh, he represents the Party's
>Executive and Administrative structures. He decides what he wants, when he
>wants it. Saja knows it because I know his private views on this and other
>APRC matters.
>3.During the APRC's recent tour of the provinces which covered all
>divisions except URD(Why they did not venture into URD?),"there were
>massive turnouts of party militants, and enthusiasm shown. Saja again
>engaged in wishful thinking. Their so-called tour was an abbreviated one
>because of (a)embarrassingly low turn out at each stop (both Ousainou and
>Hamat attracted far bigger crowds) (b)Open hostility towards Yankuba
>Touray, his entourage and the APRC militants in Niumi, the Baddibous and
>the entire LRD. We have videos of some of their rallies which I will make
>available to you. In fact, these videos were taken clandestinely because
>they do not want people to see the "growds" their rallies attract.
>4. "APRC's recent rally at Sika, Niumi, sae the Sonko clan "embrace the
>APRC party for the first time in history, headed by Landing Sonko, regarded
>as the father of the UDP in Niumi". This statement by Saja clearly reveals
>his total ignorance of Gambian politics and it also reveals his total lack
>of knowledge of the subject matter blend with deception. The so-called
>Sonko clan, for those with knowledge of Niumi politics will tell you that
>there has always been a split in their political support between the PPP
>and the NCP. The deceptive part of Saja's claim is his reference to Landing
>Sonko giving the impression that he is referring to Landing Jallow Sonko.
>The former Minister under Jawara will never join the APRC. In fact, he has
>dropped out of politics completely. Saja why not put the facts before the
>people instead of trying to deceive and give the wrong impression.?
>5."Bakau youths contacted me today (can you imagine, Bakau youth contacting
>Saja?) informing me that the aspirations of the youths of Bakau are
>different from the aspirations of the elders of Bakau..." Saja, please
>mention one Bakau youth that has contacted you. For the rest of your story,
>I say to you go tell it to Dembo "By Force". He is out there waiting for
>you and the rest of the dysfunctional APRC.
>Saja, my advice to you is to stop prostituting yourself. If you cannot,
>then please do not insult the intelligence of the people.  We are smarter
>than you and the rest of the APRC combined.
