Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cI want to remind everyone that The Gambia is one; I want to remind everyone again that all tribes in Gambia made Gambia a country. This country\u2019s name isn\u2019t Mandinka, neither Fula nor Wollof but Gambia,\u201d Mr. Darboe was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the time of Sir Dawda Jawara; Pierre Njie, and others that were into Gambia\u2019s politics those days, they knew no tribe; they knew no religion but only Gambia that comes first in everything they do,\u201d Darboe pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cUDP is not a tribalist party and will never be. Our primary objective is \u2018UDP for a United Gambia\u2019. A UDP government will stand for a one Gambia and will make sure tribalism has no place to survive in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, Jawara was a Mandinka but during his time, PPP was never called a Mandinka party. \u201cSo why would some people today call UDP a Mandinka party,\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n

The UDP\u2019s agenda, Darboe posited, is not a Mandinka agenda but a \u20185-Point Agenda\u2019 that will benefit and protect every Gambian regardless of tribe or religion.<\/p>\n

If UDP was a tribalist party, Darboe said, Marie Sock wouldn\u2019t have joined UDP because she\u2019s not Mandinka. \u201cShe\u2019s supporting UDP because she knows UDP is here for The Gambia and will always stand for The Gambia. National unity is what I want for this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to tell every Gambian that all those people that are saying that UDP is a tribalist party are trying to separate the strong union that we all have as people of this country, and that all Gambians should not allow this to happen. I\u2019m not and will never stand for tribalism but for a United Gambia,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we are in our mosques for prayers we are mixed with all tribes as one people and as Muslims and in our churches too, the same applies when praying, they all pray as one people and as Christians. So why not we see ourselves in that way and throw away the tribal mentality that some individuals are trying to bring as bridge between us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge all Gambians to desist from violence as far as this election is concerned. Kairaba Jawara and Sheriff Dibba contested for elections but there was no violence; Pierre Njie and Jawara contested as well but there was never violence too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Darboe added that Gambians should not allow Ousainou Darboe and Halifa Sallah; Ousainou Darboe and Essa Faal; Ousainou Darboe and Mamma Kandeh; Ousainou Darboe and Abdoulie Jammeh or Ousainou Darboe and Adama Barrow not to bring us violence but as one people and one Gambia.<\/p>\n
