Bamba, There were elections held leading to the CORDEG executive. You must have even published the press release! Lamin Tunkara was never elected as part of the executive as far as I know. He only came in later to replace someone according to his own words posted on a respond to Yero on Gainako. Alkali Conteh we all know contested for the Vice Chairmanship, and the Secretary General position.. He was defeated... These are from people who participated in the elections...Why do you think Suntou and others were parading about CORDEG's executive here? That GDA was not represented in the executive... I think you probably need to find out more about CORDEG's formation! May be Kejau can explain... For people who are reasonable, let's say Dr. Saine made an inappropriate statement! Does that disqualify him as a leader of CORDEG? Why is it that anything someone mentions the UDP all hell breaks lose? How long are we going to be so sensitive about a simple statement or criticism of our political affiliates? We can all opine on any party regardless of our positions. Dr. Saine never said he is not going to work with the members of the UDP or the Party, why all of a sudden everybody is up in arms? Bamba, what we are talking about here is quitting something that they help put together because it did not go their way...There is nothing Dr. Saine is going to do to satisfy the partisan critics. We must learn to stomach some criticism without sounding the partisan alarm or tearing everything apart. We know from the get go that they have problems with CORDEG'S make up. Why I have no idea. This is ridiculous and let's see where this one too ends up... We are good at fighting and empty in delivering results. We are our own enemies. Shame on us...
