Continuing their Nationwide Consultation Tour, the UDP Youth Wing led by Mr. Shyngle Nyassi, the party's National Organising Secretary, visited villages in Niani and Sami constituencies in the Central River Region, welcomed by jubilant crowds of supporters, sympathisers as well as defectors from the ruling APRC.
The first meeting was held in Naini Kunting where the village chairman, Baba Jawla, lamented on the lack of clean drinking water in the village which he blamed on APRC failures and broken promises. He advised the villagers not to jeopardize the future of their children by taking bribes from APRC politicians. All the speakers pledge allegiance to the UDP.
In Sinchu Karaba, the speakers stated that the village is traditionally an NRP stronghold but will now rally behind the UDP leader, Alhagie Ousainou Darboe as he is a son of Naini. They also stated that they have always known that the APRC is up to no good and that is why they never supported them.
Similarly, a tour of the villages of Palang Fula and Palang Mandinka had its inhabitants expressing regret in voting for the ruling APRC and promised to cast their votes for UDP, come the 2011 presidential election.
In the village of Casse Wolof, It was a case of once bitten; twice shy for the villagers who voted for the APRC on the back drop of a host of promises that were never fulfilled. They noted the failure by the government to facilitate the marketing of their groundnut produce despite repeated promises. All the speakers expressed regret for voting for the APRC. The villagers then appealed to Mr. Shyngle Nyassi, the National Organising Secretary, to ask the UDP leader to visit the area as soon as possible so that they can express their support for the UDP personally to him.
A colourful reception met the UDP entourage in the village of Sami Madina where its chairman, Ousman Dahaba warned party members to be wary of being politically blindfolded by the APRC.
In Sami Ponchokey were several people defected to the UDP, The village chairman, Morro Halima Ceesay, told defectors to remain loyal to the UDP ‘as you were not forced to cross carpet.’ Among the same gathering was one Dawda Ceesay, who defected to the UDP from the APRC with over 200 defectors.
Mr. Ali Gano of the village of Njalal stated that there were 386 registered voters in the village out of which only 36 traditionally vote for the UDP since 1996. He however stated that this has now changed as 250 APRC members have now defected to the UDP. The defections were then confirmed by the UDP entourage who travelled to the village and were met on arrival by jubilant villagers waving the party’s flags and colour and chanting; Wee Darboe! Wee Darboe! This was followed by a short meeting in which speaker after speaker expressed the village’s regret for voting APRC in the past elections.
The Consultation tour continues in the Upper River Region with planned meetings in Wuli East, Wuli West, Sandu and Kantora Constituencies.

| Excellent efforts. They should keep the momentum and never compromise on the rights of the people. This is the way dictatorships are undermine. Relentless dialogue with the people... |

Karamba, as we discuss here, the tyrant whose pants was pulled down by his youths in Egypt is wailing that, he was not corrupt neither committed any crimes against his people. Lol. Mubarak the mad dog whose secret police and under ground prisons is all over Cairo and neigbourhood towns. I can't believe this animals. They think that, iron fisted rule is the order. No more. The Syrain ***** is also panicking, secret police my foot.
Jammeh like his Idols will all sadly perish in shame and loneliness. He knows his days are on the list, either way.. |
