“We gave Shyngle the biggest farewell,”a prominent UDP activist told Kibaaro News. “Those who doubted our love for him are put to shame.”
The Public Relations Officer of UDP assisted us in getting all the pin drops at the funeral procession. “As a final show of respect, the youths refused Mr. Nyassi’s coffin to be carried in a car to the cemetery,” Lamin Jobarteh said. “They are holding the late Shyngle Nyassi high up, praising God all the way to cemetery. Youths wear T-Shirts with the bold photo of Shyngle Nyassi in front, and a UDP Lion printed at the back of the T-Shirt.”
“Shyngle Nyassi has written his own story,” UDP mouthpiece said, quoting an old adage that “If the lion does not write his own story, the hunter will be dignified. Shyngle is a lion and he has written his own story. No hunter will be dignified.”....
