Good morning Despot General,
Gambians have been living a harsh reality for the past 22 years and December 1 was a window of opportunity to seal yout fate and we resoundingly decided to put you behind us once and for all. You wilfully without duress accepted our will and even acted magnamously in defeat.
As the old adage goes "an idle mind is a devil's workshop" is so true for you had ample time between the 2nd December to the 9th of December to ponder and devise a scheme to upset our new found reality. As usual, you retreated into your cocoon and started work on a crafty script melancholic political satire filled with sadistic soliloquy of your relevance to the Gambia. You made a demarche on the 9th of December by filling the airwaves with incessants rants threatening the peace and security of the very nation you swore to defend. Mr Despot, that was the first treasonous act you committed against the peace loving people of this great country who just exercised their constitutional right of choosing a leader. To add insult to injury, you sand bagged the whole country raising our emotional distress and anxiety. Mr Despot, your actions have been self centred and we the people are not happy with your callous actions.
Your melodrama continued to unfold with different acts that contravenes the sanctity of our statehood. Your late night TV outings causing nightmares to a weary and traumatised population to the mass exodus of a troubled population fleeing for relative safety either in the hinterland or to distant shores.
As a concerned citizen whose interest for calm and harmonious existence of our diverse peoples, I urge you in the name of the 1,800,000 mollion inhabitants of this beautiful speck of land to draw down your curtain on your ensuing drama that has put our lives on hold. Sacrifice for country starts with putting the interest of the greater good before self and you for one don't have a clue what the utilitarian concept of the greater good is for you operated under the maxim of "one for one, and all for one". Mr Despot even the callous colonials treated us better than you do for they still exploited us but left us in peace. You on the other hand, want our resources and ourlives. That is surely not tenable and will only emboldened our resolve to take you head on especially after demystifying the grandiose enigma we once thought of you. We can create a safe exit for you provided you heed to our wise counsel. A lot has happened in the name of securing our nation and in the process, undue mayhem has been meted out against the harmless Gambian population. This can't and will not be swept under the rug. We have no control of International law and cant assure your immunity from prosecution as it relates to your trans national involvement in trade or distribution of contrabands.
As Gambians bid you farewell, we do hope you have learned a lesson in humility for there is only one creator and he has no rival. An enigma once shrouded in mystery is now our national folly. Well its your making and you have reduced yourself and image to nothing but a self serving psychopath whose sole purpose is to preserve his interest at the expense of the greater good. Public service is not for your ilk cos you saw it as a means to an end by illicitly enriching yourselfat the expense of the poor farmer in Tankular. Whenever you or the first family spend our cash think of the sick patients in our ill equiped hospitals. So long Mr. Despot and please be humble enough to have a genuine dialogue with your brothers and sisters. Let me repeat for the purpose of clarity ; Be humble enough to have a genuine dialogue with your brothersand sisters. If Jerry Rawlings can apologise to Ghanians and move on why can't you?
Very good advice. Sad, but true.
