Is this Cherno Omar Kebbeh my former mate at NUSRAT and colleague at The Point Newspaper?
If yes then Cherno I am speechless! Since when did you become the TOWN CRIER of President Jammeh and the APRC?
I thought if you chose to service our country you would first and foremost try it out as a TECHNOCRAT (Civil Servant) and not as foot soldier of party politics.
Anyway I recognize your right to political choice and you are free to drum up APRC. You are fee to lock horns with the opposition.
As a brother and a ex-colleague, I am advising to be very careful. No matter how much you support President Jammeh and the APRC you will NOT match FJC (Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay) and Yankuba Touray. They have all been used and dumped like toilet papers.
Even brilliant young stars who serve diligently without party politics are not spared. Look at the case of Mariama Khan.
Sorry if you think I am trying to preach you. I am just worried. You are however an adult and you know what you want.
Before I forget, I want to tell you that there is a GIRL that I wanted to chase but the moment she told me that you showed interest in her, I BACKED OFF to give you the chance.
I am Casanova with a strong conscience. If I see a tantalizing lady, I do not waste time hunting her but to avoid injustice I try to find out first if she is already given or about to be given.
That girl is so sweet and should not stay long on the marriage market.
I hope you will make use of your chance to reach a definite decision over the girl.
The next time I speak with her and she tells me that you are not conclusive, I will proceed with my chasing and if things work out I will harvest her for my harem!
But I do not think party politics (APRC) and a woman will be reasons to sour our solid relations.
All the best with your work in Gambia.
I remain,
Prince Bubacarr Sankanu
