Men, you are right, this is real comedy!  Just listen to these two snake oil 
salesmen promising everything under the sun and they believe Gambians will 
bite at their bait.  These two crooks are no different from Yaya lying to 
his teeth to Gambians, daily.  Now, everyone who knows these two "Agogoos" 
know they are slick and fast talkers and you better hold your wallet when 
they start talking.  Lord have mercy should gambians take a word of these 
two slicksters!

Gambians, your choice is really being made easier by these two rattlers, for 
if you stand Yaya and Ousainou next to Halifa, one would be insane to vote 
for either Yaya or Ousainou.  Why would NADD present us a road map that not 
only shows us what is wrong and has been wrong in the country for the past 
forty years, and then prescribe a remedy that all of us agree (except the 
intellectually dishonest) is the best way forward, with safeguards against 
excesses and abuse, and we decide to choose another with "no plans - UDP", 
or another with "More of the same - murders, stealing, abuse, etc. APRC"?  
The only way we can choose the APRC or the UDP is because Gambians want the 
corrupt and mismanaged environment to continue for the crumbs they get in 
such a system.  By choosing the APRC, Gambians are in effect accepting the 
many murders, illegal detension, torture and many other crimes committed by 
yaya Jammeh, and we do not need to be intellectual about it.  By choosing 
the APRC or the UDP, Gambians are in effect saying that they are not 
interested in change for the better but to maintain the status quo or 
substitute it with a different face of corruption and incompetence.  The 
choices cannot be clearer folks.
