PPP in Limbo 
As Party Bigwigs Quit NADD
Monday 20th March 20

By Alhajie Mbye

In what could be described as yet another major blow
to the opposition alliance - NADD, some bigwigs in the
People’s Progressive Party (PPP) have quit NADD,
joining the UDP/NRP alliance, highly placed sources
told The Point.

According to our sources the said PPP stalwarts
withdrew from NADD with effect from Friday 17th March
2006.

Musa Drammeh, an executive member of PPP was reported
to have tendered a letter of resignation to Halifa
Sallah, NADD’s coordinator on Friday 17 March. In the
letter it is stated that PPP withdrew from NADD with
regret; however they are looking forward to an
eventual unification with all Opposition parties
because they share a common objective of removing the
APRC through the ballot box. It is also reliably
learnt that the PPP Executive were divided in that
move.

The PPP executive was said to have held a meeting on
March 3rd 2006 during which seven executive members of
PPP decided to withdraw from NADD.

The following people were reported to have quit NADD :
Yaya Ceesay, Musa Drammeh, Omar Sey, Kutty Sanyang,
Dembo Jatta, Sulayman Touray and Lamin Jombo Bojang;
whilst Omar Jallow, Landing Jallow Sonko, Ganji
Touray, Momodou Lamin Touray, Sambou Dibba Babucarr
Krubally, Ousman Jarju, and Bai Jagne are still in
NADD.

Meanwhile when contacted yesterday to shed light on
the story, the PPP interim leader Omar Jallow
confirmed the withdrawal of the said seven PPP top
brass from NADD but he was quick to brush aside
speculations and rumours making the rounds in town
that PPP has withdrawn from NADD.

According to OJ, during their March 3 meeting, a
majority of the party executive did not agree for PPP
to withdraw from NADD.

He said: “I am not aware of PPP withdrawing from NADD.
These are just rumours. The PPP has structures and if
such a major decision is to take place it has to be
discussed by the party secretariat and it has to be
approved by the central committee. Without the
approval of the central committee such a decision by
the secretariat cannot be binding and is therefore
null and void”. 

However, both Dr Nyambie Touray, the Cordinator of PPP
and Musa Drammeh, an executive member of PPP confirmed
to The Point the withdrawal of PPP.
