NADD’s PRE-NOMINATION RALLY
By Sarjo M. Camara Singateh
The National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD) on Saturday held a mass political rally at which its charismatic Flagbearer, Halifa Sallah, displayed its manifesto.
The NADD flag bearer stressed that people will live an esteemed and worthwhile life only if they know themselves, their country and the world in which they live. He noted that to leave oneself at the mercy of someone elected to serve the people is to live like a donkey. He pointed that NADD as an alternative government does not only criticize but has a manifesto as an alternative to what the APRC government has in stock.
The flag bearer will present the manifesto at the partys’next rally to be held on Monday after nomination at the Bundung garage opposite the Police Station.
Sidia Jatta, a NADD Executive member, in his speech, described in detail the fruitless attempts he made in trying to get Mr. Ousainou Darboe to come back to NADD soon after he tendered his resignation from the alliance.
Mr. Jatta indicated that when he went to Mr. Darboe’s Office once to discuss this matter with him he met a good number of UDP supporters in his office and he believe this must have led to the spread of the false rumour that he clashed with Halifa because he ‘betrayed’ Mr.Darboe.
Mr. Lamin Waa Juwara analyzed the leadership qualities of Yahya Jammeh comparing them to that of Halifa Sallah, noting that they are diametrically opposed to each other. He described Halifa Sallah as a man of principles who has displayed immense patriotism, selflessness, knowledge, humility, fearlessness and tolerance.
Amie Sillah, another executive member dealt with issues relating to women. She criticized the APRC government for failing to solve the problems of women while creating divisions between men and women. She stressed that partnership between men and women is essential.
In summary, the NADD Chairman Mr. Landing Jallow Sonko indicated that since the Gambian people are about to entrust a new five-year mandate to one of the contestants in the forthcoming Presidential election, people should listen wisely and choose wisely.
Saikouba Ceesay of Niamina Kudang, Eliman Choi from Fass Nja Choi and other speakers delivered messages from their respective regions.
