Amadou Lowe Clarifies!!!
By Amadou Lowe
My
reaction is that of total dismay. In the first place, I have never
spoken to any reporter from the Freedom Newspaper either directly or
indirectly and I don't know any of them. That Omar Fye has not called
me is not an issue to me. Obviously, Mr.Fye has a new set of priorities
and it makes absolute sense that he deals with these priorities in a
circle of like minded friends. Therefore, given the fact that I'm
totally opposed to the APRC, I remain totally opposed to the APRC and
all its nonsense. It is not a surprise to me that a senior member of
that machinery who has been a close friend for many many years, I
found it necessary to give me a distance. This however, does not in
anyway signify that we are enemies. I consider Mr.Fye as a friend and a
relative. Secondly,I have never been a director of Youth and Sports. I
was a national Youth officer. My relationship with Mr.Fye has always
been based on mutual respect and affection. And the boy, boy scenario
suggested in the said story is utter nonsense. I would like all readers
of the said article to know that this rejoinder, I'm writing is my
first attempt of speaking to anyone contributing to the Freedom
Newspaper. In the future, I would be appreciative if I'm consulted
prior to publishing stories concerning me in order that I can give you
my frank stake on that. Finally, I have no intention of using the media
to spread false news especially so as it affects what has been a
special relation. Let off course this disclaimer not be interpreted in
anyway whatsoever, as an attempt on my part to conceal my total
disagreement with the APRC party and all that it stands for. But in a
democratic culture, I'm oblige to respect individual choices of
association and without malice. Thank you.

Editors note:
Mr.Lowe thanks for the concerns raised about the Omar Fye affair. The
Freedom Newspaper is not in the business of spreading false news and we
stood by all what we reported about Omar Fye. Agreed, we should have
contacted you for your side of the story, but your phone number was not
in our possession to reach you at the material time. Ask your colleague
Kebba Jallow if he was not contacted by this editor to authenticate the
aspect of the reporter's story mentioning him as a person. We are very
responsible journalists and would do our best to verify stories before
publication. This paper harbors no grudges against Omar Fye and all
what we reported about him is the truth and nothing but the truth. You
are entitle to your opinion and we respect that. Peace. |
