UDP’s Momodou Sabally has raised very serious points about a Guinea Conakry flag raised up in Basse by some person while welcoming Adama Barrow as he breaches Covid protocols again to desperately campaign for his ailing and failing party in the country’s Upper River Region. The desperate president’s party still hasn’t had a congress.
In fact, it lied to Gambians and foreigners that Wally Seck and some artists were going to perform at the Independence Stadium during its failed launching. The crowd realized he who lied about serving for only three years was lying again non-stop.
People left him speaking to an empty stadium! Gambia has never had anything like that—crowds leaving a useless president speaking to an empty stadium! This is the reason Barrow, as fearful and desperate as he is, is using foreign nationals to invade Gambia’s political space.
And certainly, it’s the same reason a Guinean flag was hoisted in the air in Basse as the same useless president visited. He knows Gambians don’t want him! That’s why opportunistic foreign nationals are campaigning for him!
Can you imagine a Russian flag used in welcoming a U.S president on U.S soil, especially if plans of registering foreign nationals is still a contentious source of concern? It was Sierra Leonian James Camara who almost set our country on fire just recently.
Earlier, it was Ebrima Sorrie Bah, a Guinean national raised in Basse who was at the vanguard of Adama Barrow’s ‘5 Years’ group. He was brought to The Gambia by relatives and raised by former Basse legislator Sellou Bah.
Certainly, he wasn’t a Gambian just like James Camara wasn’t. Lest we forget, Senegalese nationals spoke to the camera in Foni Sintet recently when they received an invitation from Adama Barrow to boost his rally.
Gambians have videos and photo records of all these dangerous and provocative events! But why aren’t we suing or arresting the perpetrators? Our country could easily be in flames due to foreign involvement! Gambia can’t be on sale!
While we have been very tolerant to foreign nationals in our dear motherland, there are those rights which, of course belong to only Gambians just like every country has its own birthrights accorded to only citizens.
Adama Barrow’s gov’t has been desperately trying to use ethnic groups against one another just for pollical gain. A Fula association that initially tried to make a courtesy call on Barrow when he came to power was snubbed.
Later, when Barrow harbored dreams of forming a political party, he ran after the same group that now refused to be used. Some of its members decided to fall for Barrow’s bread crumbs. It was groups like this that Hamaty Bah was trying to rile against other ethnicities.
But our Gambian Fula brothers and sisters are wiser than both Barrow and Hamat. Next, they turned to Guinean Fulas. This is the same reason Hamat Bah, Pa Jagne and other NPP knuckle-heads threatened our immigration officials if they refuse to open our borders to foreign nationals to vote in our birthright election!
At state level, our useless president still has Senegalese body guards, a clear message meaning: “Gambians, I only need your votes. But I don’t trust you!” In fact, he trusts Kallilou Waggeh, another Senegalese national who flies with him overseas, more than he trusts Gambians!
Barrow is calling and knocking on people’s doors, promising them money or other materials while refusing to address the nation on seminal issues ranging from the Sanyang incident or cocaine containers to the regular murders. The Sanyang events carry international ramifications.
Gambia, China, and Senegal are touched by last week’s Sanyang protest where corruption, unpatriotism, murder, high crime rate, land, environmental grief and misgovernance led to mass indignation in the local youth. The same president is still mute on containers of cocaine seized at the country’s port recently.
Meanwhile, Momodou Sabally is causing a convulsion in the NPP backyard as his baptism of reverts continues in high gear. He spoke to a jubilant crowd in Wulli Sutukoba where PDOIS’ Abdou Jabai officially joined the UDP.
Please continue the excellent job, Mr. Sabally! Truth is always easy to listen to. The women of Wulli couldn’t help but get emotional with a song as Sabally laments how a Guinean flag could be brandished on a Gambian soil to welcome a Gambian president.
He reminded the crowd that never had we seen such in the former regime. He also harped on how Adama Barrow doesn’t trust Gambians to be his bodyguards, but chooses Senegalese nationals. He raised rhetorical questions to send his message home that Wulli has sons that could be the president’s bodyguards.
