Hi Jabou, Dampha, Jassey-Conteh, Hamjatta, Saiks, Yus, Sanusi, Amadou and others!
                                                                                                                                This is a personal appeal to all of you to please cool things down. It is quite disheartening to see people who just a few weeks back were comrades fighting for the same cause getting at each other like this and even insulting each other. Unbeknown to you, you are all providing enough dirt about the various opposition leaders to grease the APRC campaign machine. If I were an APRC strategist, I would among other things be tuning into the L with pen and paper taking notes of the various freebies being dished out. 
    It is true that disagreements are currently a reality within the opposition but you guys are drawing the battle lines as if there is no possibility of reconciliation. Remember that it is not up to the L to make the decisions necessary to forge a coalition but the fireworks being displayed are not going to make it easier for our leaders. I see genuine points being thrown in from all concerned but I also see spiteful remarks made just for scoring points. You people are among the lucky educated people our country desperately needs at this time in her history. Rise to the occasion with objectivity and dignity. It is understandable that the temptation to get personal is sometimes hard to resist but please try as hard as possible.
    We have to understand that the interpretation of events is at many times subjective. What might be seen as the best by one will not necessarily be seen in that light by another. It is therefore impossible for everyone to see the Jawara regime as good as it is equally impossible for everyone to see it as bad. This is because some good as well as bad things happened during Jawara's reign. Trying to hold the forte that nothing good happened or nothing bad happened during that period is at best fallacious. The same goes for the alliance negotiations. The parties and leaders concerned who are on the ground and are part and parcel of the whole process have expressed their reasons for fully embracing the coalition as it stands or for not doing so. No matter how insignificant these reasons are to us as individual supporters, we have to remember that the parties have platforms and principles which guide them. We have to respect them for taking the decisions they took and try to engage them in a positive manner to achieve the aim of a broader coalition. This is the ultimate aim because going it as two alliances or an alliance and individual parties will in all probability result in a well deserved victory for Yaya. It is therefore necessary to erase the battle lines and engage each other. Let us agree that mistakes have been made by all parties to this alliance issue because that is the reality. Let us in this light try to forge forth ways and means of minimising our differences so that a broader alliance can be achieved.
    I therefore appeal to all of you again to bury the hatchet. Agree to defend your positions but do not write them in steel. Leave a little bit of room for flexibilty and above all please do not turn into enemies because yoyr leaders might just come together if not in the first round maybe in the second round of the elections and you will all be in ackward positions. So please, please cool down. Thanks.
