DR. O - visionary Gambian politician talking about the situation in the country
Excerpt from the interview with the hugely popular Gambian politician Dr. O aka Africa’s All-time Greatest Music Promoter of non-Events aka self-acclaimed child-manager of Super Eagles - musing on his heroic role as kalashnikov wielding battalion leader/coupist of the ’81 coup in The Gambia and elaborating on his ideological aspirations for the country.
Dr. O is holding a honorary doctorate from the University of Texas, normally reserved to presidents of the USA only.
Dr. O is an awardee of the Medal of the National Order of the Republic of the Gambia bestowed on him by President Jammeh for his job to the community, his selflessness, heroism and sacrifice and further megalomaniac merits.
Qestion: Did you actually fight in the 1981 coup?
Dr. O: Yes, I fought as a group and battalion leader, but fighting means that I was armed with a political conscience.
Question: I mean were you armed?
Dr. O: Yes, I was armed with a machine gun. I put my life up and as a political activist, your secret in life is to have no fear. I was not afraid. Of course, it is premature to ask whether I was one of the initiators. One thing I do know is, I will not hesitate to fight for my people because I matured as a politician and I had all the information and every action is important, relevant and useful because the country will claim her own dignity again from the hands of the minority who are not entitled by right to what they seized from the ordinary people who do not have good education. Not everybody can be a surgeon or scientist but it does not mean that because you are more educated than them, you grab all their land.
Question: As a politician, what is your assessment of President Jammeh and his government since its inception in 1994?
Dr. O: I like his government because there is massive development that is taking place. When I was in Jamaica and heard of his takeover, I made lot of cassettes in Kingston, Jamaica and sent them to the whole world about the able leadership of The Gambia.
The Gambia has to change and support Jammeh's call on Gambians to change their attitudes.
I have the same ideology as President Jammeh. I have seen development in the area of construction, education, health and agriculture among many others.
The Gambia cannot develop at all times in one period. If President Jammeh is given the chance and opportunity, he will take this country to high heights. The people of this nation should love him as the national leader and give him all the necessary support he needs. We need to give him more fuel, there should not be any interruption of the way he is handling things.
A minority should not distract him from the job he is doing for own interest. Many people have not got the technical know-how to multiply and teach people about his ideologies. He is doing it by himself.
By this time, they should have come out with his books, his ideologies and in schools, there should be his green books [we all know what happens to authors of green books…].
By now, the doctrine of President Jammeh should be in the minds of all soldiers and they should be busy educating people about the ideas of Jammeh even at the school level and in the community.
