A
press release from Dr Isatou Touray’s camp sent to this paper yesterday,
stated:
“We are Stronger Together for a Better
Gambia,’ and that Gambians should not miss the opportunity of history in the
making to nurture a democratic culture in The Gambia. As Gambians we are possessed by our individuality,
but bound together in the spirit of unity and focused on one goal to bring
change for progress in The Gambia.”
According
to Dr Isatou Touray, “Gambians have the ability to change our condition as a
nation if we see ourselves in a bigger picture of The Gambia First, because we
are part of The Gambia, no matter what gender, religion or ethnic groups we
belong to. Our Diversity is our Beauty
and Strength as Gambians.”
