Freedom Newspaper Mail Bag:What our readers say today!!!

Editor, even though my mail may arrive late at your table, do me a favor and publish my opinion before elections in Gambia.
 
I have been following discussions, news, contribution, poems and claims and counter claims in your papers. It makes good reading and a day hardly passes by without me looking at your paper. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that Gambians will  say what they say and do what they do. I do not at this time wish to go into any  details as this may draw me into unnecessary polemics for which I do not have the time right now.
 
 I have observed and observed Gambian politics and politicians and I have a prediction to make about Hamat Bah. Hamat Bah is a strategist and an opportunist but some eyes can see  far more than his does. Hamat withdrew from NADD not based on any flaw in principle but based on his own calculation and selflishness. Here is my story.  Read on!
 
UDP/NRP under the umbrella of Lawyer Darboe you will all agree with me that will  loose this year's elections next week. Reason?  (The Kanilai Witchcraft Doctor in Kumpo leaves has already laid his corrupt winning plan(s) ). He has mastered the dirty art of some African politics.. politics of deception. If this happens, Lawyer Darboe may not be able to stand in a fourth bid due to  two reasons, age and sanity. If age does not take its toll on him, sanity should tell him that it's about time to take the back stage. If a people have rejected you three times,what makes  you still think  that you will make it in a fourth bid?  We have seen some people win after several attempts but not the likes of Darboe. Only a power hungry person will still stand over, and over and over. There are  exceptions and mine is President Wade of Senegal.
 
Hamat Bah being the chicken head he is calculated that if I form a coalition with Darboe and he wins, I will automatically be the VP. Or if  Darboe might call it quits after 2006 is hanging in there so as to ursurp the UDP leadership and try his luck at the high seat. Make no mistake this will come true or we will see Hamat walking out of the NRP/UDP coalition. If UDP decides that Hamat is not their  presidential candidate when Darboe steps down, we will see him board another boat looking for another opportunity.  He may approach Henry Gomez for a coalition. And lets not be surprise that if all this fails he end up  joining APRC. Think what you think and say what you say, this is mine.
