Sheriffo Sonko is engaging in another grandstanding by calling on the leadership of UDP to resign, spokesman Almami Taal has said.
The Brikama Area Council chairman took his maverick stance against UDP to a whole new level on Thursday after he asked the party’s top brass led by leader Ousainou Darboe to resign.
The request by Mr Sonko was contained in a letter sent to the party on Thursday but UDP spokesman Almami Taal said they did not receive any letter by the deadline they handed Sonko.
“Our letter which was sent last week gave the deadline to yesterday. So obviously he’s out of time as far as the party procedures are concerned. So his letter is of no effect, it’s a nullity. It’s just another grandstanding on his part,” Taal said.
On Sonko’s request for the UDP leadership to resign, Taal shot back: “When people are engaged in fantasies, Mr Sonko is quite in the state of delusion. I don’t know what is the basis of his request for that… It’s so ridiculous.”
