 BMW, given the Commonwealth's mission and objectives, no self-respecting country ought to accept an observer mission from them. Nigerian or no Nigerian. Its like receiving observers from Russia.

I share Hon. Fatty's sentiments and assessment of the Commonwealth representative and preliminary report on the Nov. 24th, 2011 Presidential Election in Gambia. Haruna.

GMC REACTION TO THE COMMONWEALTH REPORT


All Gambians saw the Head of the Commonwealth Election Observer Mission at State House, his comportment, 
demeanour and use of language. It was very theatrical.  It is curious that a man who jetted into the country on the 18th 
November 2011, and five days later, could place himself in the position of an indisputable expert on Gambian politics, 
speaking with authority on the governance situation in our country. Any mentally sane person would conclude that it is 
practically impossible to comprehensively evaluate The Gambian electoral process and give it a pass after a brief visit of 
just few days stay in the country, without even talking to major stakeholders. That was precisely what Mr. Bola Akinyemi 
did. He For instance, he did not meet with or speak to any Executive Member of GMC, and I understand that we are not 
the only political Party unique in this regard. Instead, in compiling his Report, he was busy consulting members of the 
APRC. No wonder, Gambians do not take him seriously. His manner of theatrical performance on national television 
revealed tones of evidence. 

Mr. Bola Akiyemi has conclusively discredited himself as an impartial observer and seriously stained the image and 
integrity of the Commonwealth. His assertions are baseless, his premises fatally flawed and his conclusions were 
exceedingly erroneous. His unusually demonstrable enthusiasm in trying to placate and endear himself to Gambian 
authorities on national television in my view is very despicable.  The conclusion of the Report is not credible because it 
ignored the challenges concerning the process itself as contained in the Commonwealth pre-election Report in the 
possession of Mr. Akeyemi; it is as bogus and fraudulent as the results of the very elections he validated and we reject it 
outright. 

As genuine Gambian electorates bid him good riddance, we join our citizens in expressing our abhorrence of his illogical 
assumptions and presumptuous flair of expertise or knowledge when in reality he has no clue as to the situation and 
circumstances in which he was attempting to swim. The Gambian people know the truth, so do the authorities he was 
strenuously trying to please and appease. No wonder, many African countries are plunged into post election political 
crises with this type of pseudo-analysts parading around and about. No genuine Observer will ignore the impact of 
governance on the process, and the fact that people like me are vulnerable to all forms of legal plots with a view to get 
us wrongly convicted by hook or crook on account of our political inclinations, or the drastic conditions the press had to 
endure, etc. How can you validate the results of a fatally flawed process as accurate by ignoring the process itself that 
determines the results? We shall take this issue at the highest level of the Commonwealth so that they immediately and 
thoroughly investigate into what might have transpired during his five days stay in The Gambia.
