Darboe's obsession for the presidency scares me-Political commentator Fatou Jaw Manneh

Darboe's obsession for the presidency scares me-Political commentator Fatou Jaw Manneh

"Personally I think Darboe has no place in our political system. The Guy is worse than Jammeh. Did you guys listen to his interview on the Gambia Post? Darboe is not only a small man. This guy is pathetic and will not stop at nothing to be president, but there is plenty of news for him. The political game is becoming more interesting as we have a third party on the wings, whether it is real or imaginary, The disgruntled Military. I am personally very disappointed with Darboe listening to that interview. I don't see him as president and he can claim all the chicken on his side and he will never be President. He is thin skinned, judgmental, petty, arrogant and dumb. Yes very dumb. The law degree is not helping this Guy. Can you imagine Darboe as a presidential aspirant of a multi ethnic nation, how can he come here thumping on his chest about how proud he is of being a mandinka. And of course a Jula caste!!!!! Who cares what caste he is. You will expect that kind of displaced comment from 110 year old chief of wulli not a 21st century presidential candidate lawyer. Darboe is no more mandinka than I am and he is truly a shame and disgrace to the mandinkas, excuse me, the Julas. If he so proud of being a JUla, then he should go back to selling mangoes or create a Mango juice factory as he asserts in his interview and help the economy. That is what Julas are best known for. He is not Presidential material and I have washed my hands of him and I have started a personal campaign for all to see this guy for who he is; arrogant, greedy and selfish. The Guy has this fantasy that he is the next President made in heaven for Gambia. He is mistaken, because I think even if NADD decides to take him back as the flag bearer, he is going to be the worst president ever to emerge in the Gambia. Remember the Guy is a coward too. When Jammeh coughs you see him crawling on the American Embassy fences asking for rescue. Please guys just listen to him. He has this braggart attitude that he is the game in town but he is not. WE were running after him because we want to see them collectively against Jammeh to reduce the risk of losing the elections but arrogant, retarded and selfish as he is, he refuses to see the main issue here. He is all about me ,me ,me. HE is a complete turnoff."said Fatou Jaw Manneh, journalist cum political commentator. She was speaking in an exclusive interview with the Freedom Newspaper's Omar Njie.
