The Gambian leader, His Excellency, Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh

continues to receive more congratulatory messages on the occasion of the

17th Anniversary of the July 22nd Revolution.



The latest messages read:

Your Excellency Sir, it is with great respect and honour that I write in

conveying our sincere and heartfelt congratulations on behalf of the Board

of Trustees, Executive and general members of the Youth Alliance for

National Unity, Development & Peace Building (YANUDP) – The Gambia on the

auspicious occasion of the seventeenth year (17th) July 22nd anniversary.



Sir, we joined you and the first family with unalloyed love in remembrance

and celebration of this noble cause and crusade signaling the birth of a

truly modern, independent, sovereign and dignified Gambia. Therefore, it is

worth celebrating this honourable and historic day in the political

dispensation of our dear country, and hence suffice it to say that your name

depicts development and even envelopes the unlocking key to our continuous

infrastructure and human resource development. Indeed, every race and

country intends to have you as their President and saviour as a result of

your demonstrated leadership qualities which is exceptionally second to none

in human history. We emphatically say no to their request because you are

only destined to be the saviour of the Republic of The Gambia and for which

we at YANUDP are indeed proud of Your Excellency, Sir. We therefore express

our deepest appreciations and thanks to Almighty Allah for bringing you and

entrusting you the powers of the presidency to lead and guide this country

to greater heights.



We are also very grateful on the delivered messages during your ‘Meet the

Peoples’ Tour’ and on the occasions of the July 22nd anniversary, enjoining

youths of this country to take their responsibilities in nation building,

thus chart their preferred future in the country’s development epoch. This

is a manifestation of your kind personality – the people’s President, the

Farmer President, the Angel of Justice, Peace, Love, Security and

Development. Keep it up, Sir, Your Excellency, we are behind you in our

endeavour and shall continue to complement your government’s efforts in all

sphere of development in this country. You are our hero, the fountain of

hope, the mirror of joy, our source of inspiration and reference point, the

fortress of peace and stability and the unlocking key towards realizing our

set objectives for The Gambia’s continued march towards food security and

enhanced national development.



Sir, we are a living witness of your able, dynamic and visionary leadership.

Today, we are proud to be called Gambians with sense of pride and stand at

par with the rest of the globe in contributing to human development in the

spectrum of knowledge production, global peace building initiatives,

conflict resolutions strategies, good governance mechanism, sustainable food

security parameters, scientific research and inventions beyond the faculty

of human imagination.



I wish you and the first family a happy and blessed Holy month of Ramadan

with Allah’s bounty, grace and good health on behalf of my Executive, the

Board of Trustees and the general members of YANUDP. May Allah – the

Almighty continue to shower His endless blessings, guidance, love, pour

‘salam’ in your government and leadership, and continue to protect and guide

you in your presidential and personal endeavours -  Amen!

…………..

I am writing on behalf of the family of the late Alh. Kalifa Sannoh and on

my own behalf to profoundly thank you for naming a street after our beloved

father Alh. Kalifa Sannoh of Brusubi Housing Estate, Phase 11.



Your Excellency, you have also singled him out from hundreds of thousands of

Gambians as your father and you went further to allow him to nominate you

for both 1996 and 2001 Presidential elections. Sir, your these golden moves

have deeply touched the hearts and souls of our family members. I am taking

this opportunity to avail to you our heartfelt appreciation and love for

Your Excellency, your dear Mum, family and your government which has

transformed Brufut Village from a hamlet to a city in the making.



May I assure Your Excellency, our ever lasting support and loyalty to you as

the President of the Republic of The Gambia and leader of the 22nd July

revolution which gave birth to the APRC and the genuine transformation of

The Gambia from an underdeveloped nation to a developed nation. We thank

Allah Subhanawu-watala for blessing us to be associated with your

leadership, your family, your party and government.



Finally Your Excellency Sir, we wish to join the patriotic Gambians and the

entire Muslim Umma to pray to Allah for his endless blessings to be showered

on you and your family and your government. With all due and unflinching

respect, we are wishing you all the best in all your undertakings and

endeavours. May you live to witness many and many more 22nd celebrations by

the limitless powers of the Almighty Allah.



I say Ramadan Mubarak and Ramadan kareem to Your Excellency and family.

……………

May I have the honour and the pleasure to congratulate Your Excellency on

the auspicious occasions of the 17th anniversary of the July 22nd

Revolution.



I am sure I voice out the feelings of the vast majority of Gambians when I

state that it was an occasion worthy of being celebrated in the grandiose

manner in which it was celebrated at the Arch 22 this year. The Gambia under

your wise, able, dynamic leaderships has seen lots and lot of development,

or better still break through, why break throughs and not just development

one may ask? It is simply because from Colonial days up until the end of the

first Republic, The Gambia has had lot of bottle necks. Some of which were

so galling and even devastating: but most of which Your Excellency has been

able to break through with such resounding success in such, a relatively

short time as 17 years. It will call for a treatise if I am to elaborate on

these achievements. Hence my constraint to deal with just a few of them,

though the most outstanding ones in communication, education, health and

infrastructure.



Surrounded by other West African countries, who have had television station

for so long The Gambia had naturally been yearning with shame for a

television station of its own. Thus, it was with overwhelming joy that GRTS

made its appearance, not only news live. This was perhaps the first of the

series of break through Your Excellency had made for us, to be followed

unrelentlessly by several others. In the field of education, Gambians marvel

at the spate of schools opened up at strategic places of the country, in

such a way that there are hardly any communities whose children have to walk

kilometers to school, or even to take bench and table as hitherto these are

all break throughs in education, but forwarding above them all symbolically

as well as in essence, is the University of The Gambia (UTG).



Needles to say, with university of our own and on our own soil. There is no

real urge and need for sending our students overseas, except for

postgraduate work and a limited number of disciplines of a specialized

nature. While we are about it, what is perhaps not so visible to most people

is the fact that by the creation of so many schools, elementary and

secondary as well as local training centers. Your Excellency has also being

making room for late developer, indeed with such an abundance of educational

and training facilities, the dropout and those who generally have not done

well at the earlier stages would have the opportunity later on to excel

themselves. This leads to this all important face that His Excellency,

Sheikh Professor Dr. Alh. Yahya AJJ Jammeh has a soft spot for not only our

women folk, but also our youth hence he has put in place a wide-enough

environment for our youths to learn academics as well as skills so that at

the end of their schools or training they get employed this is too obvious a

fact to be elaborated on, thus not all our youths are Babylon crazy these

days.



In the field of health, I need not dilate on Your Excellency’s break through

HIV and AIDS the much dreaded diseases if only because it is being acclaimed

more and more, not only in The Gambia but also beyond our borders. Should

perhaps draw attention to the tremendous impact of the traditional

hospitals, the conglomeration of lesser health facilities all over the

country together with adequate qualified medical person and the recently

inaugurated Ultra-Modern Medical store at Kotu. In the field of

infrastructure development, some more break through is undeniably registered

by Your Excellency’s government.



Briefly, thanks to Your Excellency’s dynamism, uncompromising drive Gambians

have now gone past Gambia used candles stage indeed, most Gambians now enjoy

regular supplies of electricity and of potable water for that water; and we

could all see that strenuous efforts are being made to make these utilities

available to the rest of the country in the shortest possible time, as you

have just inaugurate another generation at Brikama during your 17 years

celebration. Nag, even a more spectacular break through has made in road

infrastructure Westfield Sukuta road. Indeed it’s not exaggeration to state

one can have breakfast at Barra, lunch at Basse and supper albeit a bit

late, back in Banjul or the Greater Banjul Area, the North Bank of The

Gambia with the marvelous bridge at Kerewan and Janjanbureh at the apex of

it all has been provide with unparalleled road infrastructure. This is not

suggesting for one moment that the South Bank of The Gambia is neglected;

indeed, trunk road and other subsidiary ones are fast catching up.



I should be failing in my duty as a trade union leader and a member of the

labour adviser board, if I omit to point out Your Excellency’s break through

for unionist in this country, namely The Gambia’s membership of ILO. For

reasons best known to the authorities of the first Republic, the issue was

one on which they were not keen, to say the least. It is so pleasant to

recall that one of the very first steps Your Excellency took after taking

the reins of government in this country was to take The Gambia to ILO; and

not just that but going further to make provision for all the structure

necessary for trade unionism, including the much-needed industrials

tribunal. Your Excellency, will be pleased to learn that the tribunal has

been functioning quite well, to the satisfaction of both employers and

employees with the help of your able Chief Justice of The Gambia and

chairmen both Banjul and Kanifing.



To conclude, Your Excellency can be rest assured that Your Excellency’s name

has already been inscribed in the hall of fame to be acknowledge and

remembered by us and to be known by posterity as ‘Babili Mansa’ with

reference to the ‘marvelous’ Kerewan bridge and Janjanbureh; as founder of

University of The Gambia (UTG); as founder of the Gambia television and as

healer of HIV and AIDS. Not withstanding such brilliant achievement, I have

every reason to believe that Your Excellency’s own words not the type of

personality who will rest of his laurels but will continue striving his

utmost towards the realization of making The Gambia a silicon Valley. May

Allah the Almighty grant you the necessary help and guidance and of course

give you long life amen.



I remain Your Excellency’s humble and loyal servant.
