Morro:
In his interview with The Gambia-Post a couple of days ago, Ousainou said that, like Halifa, he had also withdrawn his initial nomination. So which position did Ousainou seek in NADD?
Regards,
Modou.

I am saying it did not matter what position was being sought by Mr. Darboe.
As the leader of the main position party, he ought to have whatever position
he seeks within NADD. That is a deference other NADD members ought to pay
to him. Thus whether it the position of leader or flagbearer or
coordinator, or janitor or dog-catcher, it should matter very little. He
ought to have it and I believe as Gambians interested in the democratic
process, we should insist he have it (whether we personally like Darboe or
not). He deserves it, because it is the will of the people.

Mr. Ceesay,
I think you need some updating. Briefly, at the constitution of NADD, a
co-ordinator of this new entity was needed. All political parties had a say
in selecting the co-ordinator (NOT THE "LEADER", as you say, OF NADD). The
size of a political party was not a criterion for selecting the
co-ordinator. Not being very well conversant with the MoU establishing NADD,
I may not be in a position to to say whether or not the size of a political
party was one of the criteria for selection of the FLAGBEARER who would be
the one eligible to contest the presidential elections. The co-ordinator, in
that capacity, would not be eligible to contest the presidential elections.
You see the difference between the two now?
The issue you raised was not side-stepped, to use your phrase. It was just
not an issue. If the size of a party was not included in the signed MoU,as a
criterion for the selection of a Flagbearer (Presidential Contender), then
there is no point in raising the issue now. You might wanna have a
t�te-�-t�te with Mr. Darboe to learn more about the MoU.
Cheers
Alhaji S Jeng

This is rubbish. I asked before and I ask again, how did Sallah get to be
the leader of NADD in the first place? It would seem reasonable anywhere
else that the leader of the largest opposition party in a country should
emerge as the leader of a coalition of the opposition. Why was this not the
case with NADD? Perhaps we should insist on answers to these questions.
Shouldn't NADD provide a full explanation? We shouldn't side step these
questions.

UDP militants and self styled supporters, including their party leader
should consider the generous political invitation extended to Ousainou
Numukunda Darboe to lead NADD by Lamin Waa Juwara alias Mbarodi. Waa's
message was harsh, but in reality this was the best way to tame this Dubo
son. He should be given the benefit of the doubt to lead the disintegrated
coalition. Darboe, should not listen to some misguided Gambians, whose
patriotism is questionable. They are flip flopping day in day out with the
sole aim of misleading the widely respectable legal luminary.
DARBOE, PLEASE COME BACK TO NADD AND LEAD
Waa means well for Darboe, even though they are strange bed fellows. His
invitation to Darboe should not be blown out of proportion. Lack of
political adviser often lead to major political blunder. Darboe/Bah's
resignation from NADD is indeed helping incumbent President Jammeh to
further misrule The Gambia. It would be fool hardy for Darboe supporters,
NADD or Gamez supporters to think that they can win Jammeh under such a
divided opposition.
The likes of Darboe and Bah have committed suicide by betraying their
colleagues in the struggle. The breakaway reminds us about the UDP election
boycott, some years back, which Darboe later regretted. He is again taking
another political blunder by giving chance to Jammeh to rule our country, as
rightly pointed out by Waa.
Darboe, should think twice and judge his actions. Honestly speaking, the
actions of Bah and Darboe should warrant the IEC to declare no elections in
The Gambia. There is no way that these divided opposition will win Jammeh.
Going for elections is a waste of time and resources. Our hope for regime
change through the democratic mean have been shattered by Bah and Darboe.
These people have betrayed Gambians.
Raising funds to help the opposition is a good initiative, but the
question that comes to mind is: Who will risk pumping his savings on parties
that are not ready to come together? Some of us criticizing Darboe are not
his enemy. We wan him to play by the democratic game and stop this double
standards politics.
Waa Juwara was very clear, when he said none of the NADD executive members
were interested to lead NADD. Ousainou should capitalize on this Waa
invitation. No political gimmicks here. Waa said Ousainou is needed back.
Halifa will no doubt hand over the rein of power once the Dubo Mansa in the
making resurfaces at NADD.
PPP BETRAYER DEFECTED WHERE? NO, NO, NO, REPORTER AKALEKE
As far as we are concerned the PPP, is the by product of the UDP. How can
a son claim fathering his parent? Does this make sense to any sober minded
person? Come on dude..The PPP created the UDP, there is no question about
that. This news on the so called defection would sound funny to Ousainou. We
remember when the PPP disgraced officials teamed up to form what is called
today the UDP.
At the time they were banned from participating into politics. All they
could have done was to run the show through behind the scene moves. Most of
the UDP executive members worked with the PPP government and benefited from
Sir Dawda's school of political thought. From the Taals, the Mannehs, the
list goes on and on were part of the PPP. The PPP will never betray the UDP,
a party they created. OJ is part of NADD, but his mind is on the UDP. This
is the reality folks. How can a father hate his son? Does this make sense?
Waa knew very well that in the absence of Ousainou, nothing will work.
Ousainou was created by the PPP mafia and is no doubt enjoying some amount
of support across the country. This does necessarily means that he can win
an election under the current political set up. He stood better chances of
winning if allowed by NADD to lead as suggested by his arch political rival.
While the accusations and counter accusations are on the historians are
documenting the political scene. Le our actions be guided for the common
good.
No person can stand on its own. The UDP should always remember that the
PPP created their party and should avoid being over carried by political
novice, whose knowledge on our political trend is limited to some extent.
Darboe is a good person and we have no doubt in our mind that he want to
lead that impoverished country with humility.
In doing so, he should put national interest ahead of personal interest.
NADD says, he is needed back, let him go before it is too late. Ousainou
"LAIMANSANA YAA SEETALAI" meaning the time has come for Ousainou to be a
leader. He has NRP/UDP/PPP, and now NADD also are on the verge of handing
over the mantle of power to him. Chey!!! Darboe Mansaring.
IllADUWALIJABITA!!!
We suggest that if Darboe refuses to accept Waa's invitation, let NADD
leader Halifa Sallah, set the ball rolling by formally handing the
leadership to him. This is no jokes. The opposition should give him the
benefit of the doubt. Let sleeping dogs lie. Lawyer Darboe "yai Bankota"
This is the reality. He is a leader in the making and NADD should help him
to realize his leadership dream.
