Hi All,
I just finished talking to Rep. Johnny Ford of Tuskegee, AL. He was very
cordial and interested in what I had to tell him about The Gambia Government
and the naive statements he made on his recent trip to Gambia.
The US ambassador in the Gambia did update him briefly about the situation
with Gambia governmemt. The update Rep. Ford received was not detailed. I
suggested he call the US State Dept. Ironically, Rep. Ford used to sit on
the board of RUST COllege. I briefed him about the RUST College saga few
weeks back. He told me a gambian had called him earlier to talk to him about
his visit.
Rep. Ford sounded eager to know more about the situation in Gambia. I
promised him he will be receiving calls, letters, and emails from Gambians
the world over regarding his visit and statements he made.
See his contact info below. Let's get to work again
Yahya Jammeh eat your heart out. Kabila is gone. One down few more to go.
