From  the pages of the Jammeh Regime's mouth piece, the Daily  Observer. 
Another  Snake Oil Salesman courting the regime and criminals always 
gravitate towards  each other. 
The  Era of Brutus ended with Ceasar      
Written by Chief Ebrima B  Manneh       
Monday, 27 March 2006     
Prince Darlington Johnson, a Nigerian born  Swedish citizen who is planning 
to establish the International Committee  For Aid in Africa (INCOFATA ), has 
disclosed that “the era of those who  kiss the hand of their leaders in daylight 
and stab them under the cover  of darkness is ended.” 
Mr. Johnson made this remark last Saturday  in an interview with the Daily 
Observer while condemning the attempt to  remove President Jammeh and his 
government from office through violence  means. He noted that the coup plotters 
could not even have reasons to  topple President Jammeh’s administration which, he 
said, has brough about  stability and development to the Gambian people. 
Mr Johhnson, a British and the  US  educated international jurist, said The 
Gambia needs stability for  economic growth, emphasising that investors 
normally have confidence for  investment in such situations. 
“It is often said that change is constant,  but no reasonable coach that 
knows his onions changes a winning team. Of  course, the society will frown at any 
concept of change that will truncate  a winding side or anything that 
willbring discordant tune to a  well-blended-music,” he said. 
He noted that The Gambia is a paradise for  investors and predicted and that 
in the next ten years, there will be lots  of opportunities for investment 
hence rapid socio-economic  development. 
He said The Gambia government is actually  doing a great job in augmenting 
the standards of Gambians which, he said,  has compelled him to come down and 
give him a helping  hand. 
According to him, his organisation  is an international umbrella body for 
Non-Governmental Organisations  (NGOs) and that it is going to be seriously 
focused on manpower training  to ensure that at least 20 to 30 personnel from 
different institutions in  The Gambia have access to scholarship. He said what he 
needs the  government to do for him, is to provide him with an  office. 
He disclosed that he will also cover  other areas like youth development, 
health, construction, notably for  schools, and agriculture, especifically in the 
acquisition of fertilizers  and the rendering of valuable assistance to 
Gambian  farmers. 
According to him, he is higly connected  with many Heads of State in the 
world which, he said, enables him bring  about numerous assistance to The Gambia. 
He added that there are numerous  resources for developing countries, noting 
that the only problem is how to  tap such resources. He made mention of a 
proposal that he intends to  present to President Jammeh. 
Mr Johnson, however, disclosed that he had  been approached by a Gambian 
musician based in  Sweden,  Demba Conta, to visit The Gambia, hailing the great 
job President Jammeh  is doing. He said as an international lawyer, who is 
connected worldwide  and travelled extensively realised the good work President 
Jammeh doing  for the Gambian  people.
