abou,
          I am disappointed. I have always seen you as an independent
minded Gambian sister who is after the truth. I would have thought that you
would give your self-time to get all facts before you draw any conclusion.
I promise you that when you get all the facts you will owe PDOIS an
apology. Personally, I am in same position as you. I am not any body's
presidential candidate. I don't think any body can say that I am waiting
for Sidia Jatta to give me a ministerial post. I have bee offered such
posts too many times to mention. I am not speaking for PDOIS at this
moment. This is a personal intervention. The party is still studying all
the facts in order to come up with a mature and respectable position. If I
did not have respect for you as the only woman who spends day and night
following events here, I would not have responded. This is no time to
question our sincerity. This is the time for all of you to own your minds
and seek to draw lessons from facts and not from fictions. It is abundantly
clear to me that it is the people who change society and not the few  who
claim, rightly or wrongly, to be their leaders. When the Gambian people are
politically mature they will have mature leaders. My interest is similar to
yours. None of us is a presidential aspirant. What each of us should want
is Gambia to be led by people who will eradicate the ignorance, poverty and
subjugation of our people. Do not condemn Dibba or any one. Find out  what
all political leaders have to say and draw your enlightened conclusion


Greetings
Halifa
