This should not be a surprise because it just re-empahsizes to all of us and
to the World ,that this President sees himself as a King whose rule will last
for as long as he can force himself on the Gambian nation, and that elections
notwithstanding, he intends to stay where he is by hook or by crook.
His every move so far, coupled with the amazingly arrogant statements by some
members of his government is ample evidence of this. His is not an
administration that measures their achievements by how well they are able to
assess the needs, problems and challenges facing our nation, and the efforts
and expertise they use to solve these problems and challenges. Rather, it is
an administration whose every waking hour, every ounce of energy, every move,
is spent on formulating strategies on how they can stay in office, and how
they can murder, maim and eliminate anyone who does not lend a blind eye and
unmindful support to their schemes.
Therefore, they address only their plans, unmindful of the wishes of those
they should represent, as if the offices they snatched are an inheriatnce
they will hold for life. They never once consider that government belongs to
the people, and it is they who choose representatives, and it is they who
will ultimately decide who infact represents them. Those who are heedless of
this fact will ultimately learn the bare facts the very hard way, and this
situation is no exception.
