>>What qualifies Jabang, OJ, Sonko and all those former members of

>>to represent the PPP voter from Basse? I guess that is democracy.
>>No wonder Sheriff Dibba bowed out. Anyone who knows the formation of the

>>think
>>he did to show face, and he already has his plans laid.
>>The APRC is going to win this presidential elections big. Mr. Dibba is a

>>PPP that it is a Mandingo party. They have a lot of work to do to convince

>>NRP lead by Hamat Bah who I have a lot of respect for after meeting him

>>And the PPP/UDP alliance will even lose more than they gained last
