Cobblers! This is just another off-the-wall nonsense from another programmed
fanatic. More to the point, this merely typifies why i said programmed
fanatics can't think beyond the indoctrination material they read from
Foroyaa. Anyone very familiar with PDOIS' history knows that they have indeed
lost many supporters who have found other political homes. Prominent amongst
them are David Jones, who is now the National Assembly Member for Banjul
South and Sulayman Darbo, whom they [PDOIS] fielded in the 1997 general
elections as a candidate for one of the Kiang constituencies. These two are
now members of the APRC. The latter defected to the APRC after the general
elections in what became a cause celebre; with PDOIS claiming that Darbo was
never a member of their party. But they fielded him as a candidate any. Says
a lot about them if you ask me. You see and meet a nonentity in the streets,
without screening him or getting to know him better, you field him as a
candidate in an important election like the National Assembly elections??!!
What nonsense!
