Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Rohey Malick Lowe, the Mayor of Banjul City Council (BCC), has dismissed claims that some UDP militants dislike Talib Bensouda, saying \u201cnobody hates him\u201d in their camp.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking in an audio message obtained by The Voice, the BCC Mayor says there is no hatred in the United Democratic Party, urging political commentators to desist from disrespecting Ousainou Darboe, as he has made enough sacrifices to salvage The Gambia during the harshest moments of the nation.<\/p>\n

She challenges people who have alleged that she dislikes Talib Bensouda to provide at least one reason for such a claim, emphasizing that if they can come up with one reason, she can tell them numerous reasons that Talib Bensouda hates her, pointing out that nobody hates Talib and there is no hatred in UDP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no grudges that I or Yankuba Darboe have against Talib. The truth is that every group has a leader. Ousainou Darboe has been here since 1996 and has been our flagbearer. Why must it be different this time and say Ousainou Darboe must leave by force?\u201d she remarked. \u201cSome of our party supporters are advocating for Yankuba Darboe, some for Talib, and others for a different candidate. No one can impose his or her candidate on us. Even Ousainou Darboe doesn\u2019t have such powers. The party follows its democratic principles,\u201d Ms Lowe stressed.<\/p>\n

She adds that Ousainou Darboe has conscience and he is on the ground and knows what\u2019s best for the party, adding that the young politicians within the party, like herself, will never go on any platform to castigate their party leader. \u201cWe are not doing such for anyone. There\u2019s something that has been going on for a long time, and that\u2019s the truth. We are not insane. We are seeing what various writers and speakers are saying. We are also seeing what\u2019s been said in gatherings as well.\u201d She maintains that people pushing Bensouda\u2019s split with the UDP are not helpful to him.<\/p>\n

Rohey Malick Lowe states that Talib does not have the wisdom to impose himself on UDP, emphasizing that he (Talib) can\u2019t do that. She added that she would never risk her political career for anyone. \u201cWe are seeing, hearing, and we are having intelligence information of what has been going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

She advised people who are behind Talib Bensouda to push him to a corner where he could not rescue himself.<\/p>\n
