Yanks:
Very sober reflections here, but why associating me with the PDOIS? I'm not affiliated with any party in The Gambia. But I must hasten to add that: If I were to support any party, I rather join the UDP because of the party's policies. Then, I will lobby your support including Ustas Suntou to replace Ousainou.
On a more serious note: I appreciate all the sentiments expressed by different forum members on this particular thread. We are bound to agree, and disagree, but lest we forget that civility facilitates fruitful debate. Thanks.

Pa Nderry is currently on the payroll of PDOIS; just ignore him. I had a lot of calls
regarding the same. I find uncle Falaye and Pa Nderry's call for Darboe to resign a
bit interesting.
I do not think they understand the UDP; as its party loyalists understands it. Calling Ousainou
to resign without asking who will replace him will only be a detriment to the UDP, as a
party. If anyone wants Ousainou to leave the UDP leadership; they must tell us who will
replace him and whether that person will agree replace him.
The UDP is an open democracy, if Pa Nderry and Falaye want to replace Darboe; they don't need
to start such sinister propaganda on freedom, they can do so by putting their interest to party and
compete with Darboe to the position.
However, to ask for Darboe to resign without will lead for the destruction of the UDP; which i think
both Nderry and Falaye do not want to see.
Furthermore, the claim that Darboe should resign because he had been the leader of the party for too
long is not credible.
Take example of Abdlie Wadda, Alpha Condeh, and Alhasana Ouatara, they did not resign because they
had been leaders of their respective parties in opposition for long. If that was a requirement they would
not be presidents of their respective countries. And not forgetting my comrades in the PDOIS leadership,
who have been opposition leaders before the birth of the Gambian nation!!!!!!!

I have been on record defending the right of the Freedomnews to dig deep into Gambian politics and affairs. However, recent happenings in the freedomnewspaper seems to expose the ugly side of a pundit. He is free to say whatever he deems fits and really, no one has any problem with that. But it seems the lazy, hypocritical accusations have surfaced in his radio. He now start accusing decent Mandingos of Tribalism whilst not doing the same for his other guest. He now brand Yahya Darboe and other UDP U.S members of controlling the UDP. I wonder what he eats before coming on air. Isn't he the same person speaking to Syngle Nyassi about UDP and Gambian politics. No single UDP support group come into effect without the approval of Ebou Manneh and this is evident even with the New UDP Sweden chapter. Whoever is feeding him this malicious lies should serious think before prating. But then the dangers of ethnic co-existence always lingers.. . This is the most absurd nonsense I have heard for a while. Now it appears Mandinkas have to be careful in involving in politics if not, cheap idiots will come at them with stupid nonsense. Let Pa Nderry go CNN and see if his futile statements will mean anything. Why should the mere discussion of differing views brought ethnicity into our politics? I thought that, Pa of all people is beyond this rubbish but alas, ..
Pa should remember that, his radio is effective only if it serve the public good. Using it as weapon against those he disagree is bringing back the early days of the Freedom newspaper when he use to attack just anyone. I hope in time, he be restraint enough to sit tightly on the fence, for now let see it as Talk show host let loose. And who is trying to please with the maligning of Mandingo members of UDP? No single member of the the UDP will be hindered with lies against those who wish to play an active role in Gambian politics. If supporting a party of their choice means they are tribalist, well then.. who careless.
It is sad to see Pa spending his valuable time talking on irrelevant self-defeating subjects rather than importance matters on Gambian politics.
As it happens, those feeding him have benefited more from the UDP than those they are attacking, how ironical. Now Pa said, Fulas are the largest ethnic group in the Gambia. That is fantastic news and by Allah may they increase in number. Another gentleman said, some Mandinkas in Sweden hand his daughter in Marriage without his approval and that means, the Mandinkas always think they are better than others. Now then, open the cans of worm, lets get on with it. Let Pa bring on more Mandinka maligning and relax, if that is what it will take, it is ok.

Kemo and Ansu,
Falaye's case is one of fraudulent agency. Any speech emanatin from fraudulent agency does not fall under Free speech. Many "journalists" confuse the universal and intrinsic rights to free speech and its underpinnings. Being a "supporter" of a political party is not the same as being a member or an official of the party.

Jallow,
This seems to be a simple case of Pa Nderry was exposed for his bias. His
subsequent shows have exposed this more. You can see that he is trying to find
anyone who he can have come on his show to say anything negative about UDP and
Lawyer Darbo. He is always talking from both sides of his mouth contracdicting
himself everytime he opens his mouth. Pa needs to take a dose of reality and
move on with better things for him and Gambia if he cares about Gambia.
I have read the UDP, USA press release and listened to the radio show and all I
heard is the USA members trying to tell the audience what the party is up to and
defend lies being pedalled against UDP. Don't they have the right to speak
their opinions too just like Falaye that Pa Nderry is defending for his right to
free expression?

Listening to Pa Nderry after the defection of Rambo to APRC ,with the issues Pa
is talking about trying to be little Ousainou Darbo on his radio. One can say
that Pa is working for Jammeh. With his double standard comments Pa is ready to
destroy UDP. MY ADVICE TO GAMBIANS AND THE UDP IS TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH PA
NDERRY AND HIS FREEDOMNEWSPAPER. Pa has an agenda against the gambian
opposition. NADD failed because of some comments mde on the online newspapers
specially the freedomnewspaper.
Pa said that he is independent and know one can controll him. Then why he want
to controlls the UDP by supporting ideas calling for a change in the party he
did not support. Anyone who know Darbo personally knows that Darbo is not
tribalist. UDP UK and UDP USA please stop discussing certain issues at the
freedom radio. Right now we dont need a journalis or a person who is trying to
undermine the little efforts of our opposition political partys, who are
struggling everyday on the ground. I would be very happy if Pa Nderry can come
on the ground and form a political party and challenge Jammeh. Ablie Wadda has
been and opposition leader for decades before being a president. If Pa cannot
support our oppositions leaders please let him stop undermining them.
