Jabou:

PDOIS really got their work caught out for them, especially with the issue of enlightening and empowering the
electorate. If the best among us are so full of hatred,  blinded by their own partiality and posing a serious
challenge to political maturity, can you imagine my fellow Saloum Saloum at "Jimbala Felnlngo". If any
fair-minded Gambian is willing to critically look at PDOIs since it's inception, and still decided to malign
the credibility of the most honest politician the Gambian has ever known. This is a lesson to all of us that
maybe the issue is not about what is good for our Gambia, but some other issue at work.

Remember, we are not only interested in getting rid of Yaya Jammeh the person per se, but to create a country
of justice and semblance of democracy that can at least put the Gambia in a position to address the plight of
our poor farmers.

There is a need to bring about a tactical Alliance to bring an end to the Jammeh Administration, and that is
where serious people should concentrate on. Personally, I hope PDOIS gives a chance to the Alliance to at
least take the first step to the introduction to constitutional democracy. A victory for the Alliance with
PDOIS is not a bad position to be in, politically.

Thanks
Musa Jeng
