Will Dembo 'By-Force' join the APRC? by Ebrima Colley Head Political Desk In yet another startling revelation as the country's political tide tries to adjust to the post-Decree 89 era ahead of presidential and National Assembly elections, NCP leader, Mr Sheriff Mustapha Dibba, on Wednesday morning disclosed that impeccable sources informed him of Honourable Dembo Bojang's, (National Assembly member for Bakau) intention to join the APRC if the opposition coalition did not unanimously adopt a single candidate. Mr Dibba said when the ban on Decree 89 was shelved, Dembo Bojang attended the first meeting of the National Convention Party (NCP) but had been absent at the rest of the meetings. Before these, Mr Bojang was called at Sheriff Dibba's house to meet the NCP leader when it was rumoured that he (Mr Bojang) was planning to join the APRC. Asked whether he had made any attempt to see Mr Bojang to clarify, Mr Dibba said he had not seen the latter after that first NCP meeting held immediately after the ban was lifted. "He is an elderly man. So, I don't want to follow him to influence him," Mr Dibba said. Meanwhile, the Daily Observer tried to contact Dembo 'By Force' at his Bakau residence but he was said to be out. His daughter, Fatou Bojang, told this reporter that she knew nothing about the rumour and there were no signs of such a sudden move. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
