UDP leader Ousainou Darboe has chronicled how his brother’s child placed a call to him appearing to be crying and informing him of people insulting him.
Meeting with UDP supporters from Kiang on Friday, Darboe asked his supporters to resist getting provoked into returning the insults.
Darboe said: “Do not insult anyone. Before I go to the mosque today, a child of my brother in England called me. He appeared to be crying because of the way he was talking.
“He told me ‘Ba Ousainou, it’s painful that these people are insulting you and we the children would not be able to bear this’.
“I told him the person insuilting me would not come before him and insult me or even make a bad comment. That since he would not come before him or me to say it, that he should not respond.
“That’s how they were brought up [to insult]. For us we are not brought up that way. That’s what I will tell you all. Do not let any insult or bad comment displease you to the point of you returning it. Do not do it.”
