Thanks Suntou for sharing Kibaaro news. A feel for Rambo. Haruna. -----Original Message----- From: suntou touray <[log in to unmask]> To: GAMBIA-L <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wed, Mar 20, 2013 10:59 am Subject: [G_L] Ousman Rambo snubbed by APRC http://kibaaro.com/aprc-snubs-ousman-rambo-jatta/ The former Bakau ward councilor for the United Democratic Party (UDP) has been snubbed by officials of President Yahya Jammeh’s ruling Alliance for Patriotic, Re-orientation and Construction (APRC). The officials have not endorsed Mr. Jatta’s bid to run for the forthcoming local government elections next month. The once fire brand UDP youth leader was fooled to switch party allegiance two years ago with the promise of being selected to contest for either mayor of the Kanifing Municipal Council or a member of parliament, sources informed Kibaaro News. Rambo was illegally arrested and detained for more than a year without being charged or brought before a court of law. Mr. Jatta was moved from one detention center to another across the country until he was discovered in Sare Ngai. Officials of UDP had throughout thrown their weight behind Mr. Jatta until he was finally released. But in a dramatic twist, Jatta decided to break ranks with the main opposition party and team up with his tormentor’s party. It is now apparent that Rambo’s ambition to vie for the APRC has bitten the dust. UDP officials swiftly reacted to the developments. “Rambo Jatta has lost face in Bakau, which is a proof of the damage he has inflicted on himself,” said a UDP official. “His case is a classic defeatist mentality in a lengthy, typical dictatorship.” In another development, Kibaaro News was informed that the wind of trouble is blowing around Mayor Samba Faal of Banjul. “Banjulians are going to give Mayor Faal a rough ride,” APRC insiders said, disclosing that APRC militants are secretly campaigning for the independent candidate Abdoulie Bah. “A victory in Banjul will mark the beginning of better things to come; Jammeh is no longer popular,” a prominent Banjul resident said. UDP officials’ election boycott remains in full force. -- www.suntoumana.blogspot.com ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interfaceat: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-lTo contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to:[log in to unmask]¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
