BANJUL, THE GAMBIA: At its leadership nomination this morning, the National
Alliance for Democracy and Development NADD came close to naming Omar A Jallow,
former agriculture Minister in the PPP regime, as flag bearer. Mr.Jallow, our
sources revealed was nominated by NRP'S Dullo Bah and seconded by NDAM'S number
two man.
Earlier, lawyer Darboe, was proposed by Mr.Yahya Jallow, UDP'S, Deputy, but had no
one to second him. Ms.Amie Sillah, of the PDOIS, nominated Mr.Halifa Sallah, NADD
coordinator. Like Jallow, Sallah, too was seconded. However, our source said that
Halifa in a gesture of magnanimity declined his nomination, which automatically
propelled OJ, to the front.
As we went to press, well placed sources intimated that an official statement
could not be made, because lawyer Darboe, has asked to be given chance to confer
with UDP party officials. He promised to come back on Thursday.
It remains to be seen, if Thursday, will end this long over due nomination of a
flag bearer, given the advantage it provides the Ruling APRC, to make hay while
the political sun shines in 2006.
Reacting to the story, Kebba Jallow, former KMC Chairman, confirmed our story and
said he had been in constant touch with the NADD leadership on the nomination.
"This is an encouraging step for NADD to take this decisive initiative to move
forward,"said Mr.Jallow.

A reliable source says no flag bearer was selected by NADD executive today. You guys at ALLGAMBIAN need to put your acts together and stop this kind of Radio Kang Kang reporting  s |

| Dalton seems to be a well informed individual about the affiars of NADD, can NADD confer this advantage to all concern as to avoid the work of thier distractors from spreading false and shocking news to the general public. The naming of a flagbearer should be of no hidden thing, as we see in the west contestant for party leadership are clearly known to the public. Well dont get me wrong and am not forgeting the level of awareness between the two but atleast I belief we are all in the information technology century and The Gambia should not lack behind. NADD please open yourself to public or your enenmies will do it for you. The Gambia No Problem. |
