UDP leader Ousainou Darboe on Saturday challenged those who threatened to divulge his secrets they claim to have knowledge of to go ahead and do so – and then warned he will not apologise over an audio containing profanities.
The UDP leader faced reporters at his Pipeline office Saturday morning to discuss the audio which is believed to have been recorded last year by someone claiming to be a UDP supporter.
According to Mr Darboe, people were threatening that they would reveal his secrets if he did not come out and apologise.
Mr Darboe said: “I’m making this statement because there is someone who said if I do not come out to apologise, he will divulge my secrets he knows of. I told my PRO not to release the statement. That the person who said he will reveal my secrets, we can give him three days for him to come and reveal my secrets. I’m waiting. Anyone who knows anything about Ousainou Darboe…
“I know you will not say anything positive but you can come out and say the negative. The people saying it, you and I know each other but you can go ahead and say the bad things about Ousainou Darboe and UDP.
“For us what we know about you would not be said by us but your own relatives. They will be the ones to say it. I will not apologise to anybody because UDP did not sanction those statements. I will not apologise to anybody because I have never insulted anyone and I never would. But it’s something we condemn. Because anyone doing it is trying to instigate violence in the country.”
