According
to sources close to this paper, the National Reconciliation Party (NRP)
assistant national youth mobiliser, Kebba Ansu Manneh, has resigned.
When
this reporter contacted Mr Manneh, he confirmed the fact that he had resigned
from the NRP.
Speaking
yesterday during a telephone interview with this reporter, Kebba Ansu Manneh
said he has resigned as NRP assistant national youth mobiliser, and now works
with Dr Isatou Touray.
“I
must admit that this decision is that of a personal one, that is based on the
objective demands of the Gambian people and in the best interest of the
country’s youth.
“Having
actively taken part in the Inter-Party Committee for Opposition Unification for
six months and being abreast with the various viewpoints of the political
parties and in the political terrain, I have come to the conclusion that we
need a different strategy to effect the change we desire.
“Also,
after having thoroughly scrutinized and understood the position of all the
parties involved in the unification process, I am left with no other choice
than to quit.
“I
wish to first of all applaud the Party Leader, Hon. Hamat N.K. Bah, the entire
executive of the National Reconciliation Party, sympathizers and all
well-wishers for all their valuable contributions towards my career as a young
politician,” Mr Manneh said.
However,
he added: “I have been pondering overtime the need to move on, not for any
malicious reasons, but to further engage in realising my vision. To do that, I wish to resign from the
position of assistant national youth mobiliser, which has been entrusted to me
in the NRP.”
