Mr
President, the people hereunder mention in this article will make you reflect
and act.
Mr
President, if anyone cares to remember the formation of the UDP party back in
1996, names like Alhaji Ibrahima Pesseh Njie, Lawyer Mariam Denton and Femy
Peters will automatically come to mind. Where are these people within your
government or special adviser circles?
Mr
President if there are two persons that suffered horrible brutality in the hand
of the ex-regime within the UDP party, we can name Lawyer Mariam Denton and
politician Femy Peters amongst the first victims of opposition political
activism.
Mr
President all eyes are set and stuck in the April 2016 UDP victims, but the
above-mentioned people took greater risks when Jammeh’s regime was little known
or rejected as seen today by majority of Gambians.
Mr.
President, the above-mentioned people might not ask for anything, but they
deserve to be placed somewhere or appointed as Advisers, Commissions members,
etc.
Mr
President, for God’s sake never forget the above-mentioned people, they are
part of the pioneers in the struggle who were brave enough to go face to face
against INJUSTICE, organize political meetings and rallies and forgetting them
amounts to Moral Injustice.
Today
most of their colleagues that are very close to you might have forgotten to
mention them for your attention, but I being a keen opposition political
observer, I hereby remind Your Excellency to remember them.
As
the saying goes in the Wolof language: “Koloreh Guinaw Lai Fetoh”
Have
a good day, Mr. President.
Pa
Njie Girigara
