As the days are passing by Yahya Jammeh is also realizing that his threats mean nothing to our determined citizens. It is pleasing to see the determination of the voters who rose the flags of victory for the independent candidates. Those who won in their respective constituencies. "Yes Gambians Can!" (borrowing Barak Obama's slogan-"Yes We Can!").
There is no doubt in every mind that Yahya Jammeh is beginning to plan any evil machination in his dirty mind against those independent candidates. He will try that because they stood their grounds despite his threats before the polls. They have showed Yahya Jammeh that he may have guns but he is not more determined than them. Does Yahya know who the sponsors of these candidates are? Let his NIA find out? The sponsors of those candidates are their will power and voters who are so fed up with being ruled by an armed bandit, period. Even if it was one independent candidate who won, it certainly means something. It means APRC is a dying thorny tree. It means Yahya Jammeh will now onwards realize that time is shedding his infantile threats step by step. All those independent candidates will be representing the determined voters who sent them into the house. They will stand against siding with hopeless party chairmen like him. Such callous chairmen, who pick and chose runners against the will of the constituents. When he was fuming and imposing his threats on those candidates he thought it was going to be an easy ride as usual. Shame on the shameless brute! Now he has been thought what real elections mean. Listen to Yahya on the day he was out there to caste a vote. Yahya Jammeh a person some opportunists call a president saying..."democracy is not good"?
The same man was saying so while casting a vote? That can only happen in the Kanilai Kingdom. If anyone reads what Yahya said on the daily observer and then the person still calls Yahya a president, means he or she is in a state of trance.
Well,well,well! the independent candidates and the those who won for the UDP made us proud. Under an armed bandit like Yahya winning even one seat means a lot of courage and determination. If the APRC can lose more than TEN seats where they threaten,beat,arrest and kill supporters! What do you think would have happened within a level playing field? Of course without the lies and the threats Yahya Jammeh knows that no sincere soul will ever vote for him or support candidates attached to his dictates.
After realizing that his threats meant nothing to the voters and the independent candidates they favour,Yahya came on the radio and TV brandishing his black index finger uttering nonsense.
He also used the occasion during his meeting with our helpless young students to spread more threats. That shows how uncomfortable Yahya Jammeh is. You know why he does not feel steady with the complaints he is hearing from the students? He is uncomfortable because at the back of his mind he cannot still understand why people like Edward Singhatey chose to use the university as law students? Yahya's threats are not only meant for the students! Let us not be so naive and see it to be so simple. His threats are way beyond that horizon. In Yahya's mind the university is being used by people with hidden agendas. He dreams about such things and then turns that into a real threat in his little mind. Yahya is also thinking that there are disgruntled lecturers and politicians using the students. These revelations we are spreading here are what obtains on the ground. Yahya is being fed with such information by elements like the disgraced Neneh Mcdoll Gaye. She read what was written against her on this paper, used special paths towards Yahya's ears and then gained his "cheap sympathy". Yahya is so weak near ladies who are in his good books of adultery and night life period. Anything around Yahya is shady and dirty!
The same circle monitors online papers extracting pieces they can use during their meetings with him, therefore capture his weak mind then manipulate it towards doing more harm against innocent souls. The same people during these days are constantly reading what individuals like Lawyer Mai Fatty have been relaying online(to be more specific the freedomnewspaper).
Lawyer Fatty may as well shun these words or respect them, the choice his. All I can say is that, the NIA are analyzing his interview, looking through every possible hole thus get him in a legal net when he returns. Yahya is looking into muddying everything for him and then get him into an endless legal battle when he goes home. This way the system will make Fatty waste more time defending himself against bogus charges than defending his own clients who are so dear to him.
The same Yahya who was threatening the students bought buses to appease with them? See through the mind of a loud coward! The seats taken by the independent candidates may cause Fatou Jahumpa Ceesay and Yankuba Touray their jobs! In days to come more interesting things will be happening in Banjul! The APRC lost, the Gambians did not! Out 350000 voters more than TEN seats go to none APRC NAMS? Going by the number of voters in some of these constituencies one will realize why Yahya threats are the only methods keeping him there as a big monkey saying it is winning elections!
Winning? Winning? Yahya said democracy is not good! His thought is not chronological, that means he is nearer to mental insanity that rational thinking!
