Ebrima Tabora Manneh has said his People’ Alliance Party can defeat both NPP and UDP at the December presidential election.
“We did our research and we believe we can win. Individually we can defeat any of them,” Mr Manneh told The Fatu Network exclusively.
Ebrima Tabora Manneh will run for president in December. He is born in Buniadu , North Bank Region. He is an auditor and a businessman.
On why he wants to run for president, he said: “The Arabic scholars say to love your country is part of faith. Meaning being patriotic is part of faith. So I have seen a country, it’s failing. I have told people, from my own assessment and from my own understanding and analysis, The Gambia as a country is failing or has failed.
“It’s like we are in a bus, there is a driver of the bus and we are in the bus and the bus is on a cliff, a mountain if you may going at a speed of let’s say 50km/h. When we get to the edge of the cliff, we are definitely going down, we are going to fall down. Meaning The Gambia is going to fail. As a patriotic citizen, after discussing with people, like minded people who share the same vision, the same love of country and the same desire to transform this country for the better, they had this trust and faith in me. So we agreed, we said ‘okay, we will come up with solutions’.”
