If there are any political battlefield commanders who have done an incredible job for their parties in the lead up to this election, it’s Seedy Njie and Momodou Sabally.
Hate them or love them, Seedy Njie and Momodou Sabally have shown every fidelity and devotion to having their leaders win tomorrow’s election.
Seedy has at every turn been about President Barrow while Momodou Sabally has been about Darboe. Both men have spent the past months talking to voters, asking them to vote for their leader.
Commanders are all about winning wars. These two gentlemen are really commanders. Only that their mission has been to hand State House to their leaders – and really, never for once did they tire from this mission.
These men incidentally serve father and son, who as fate would turn out are also the two heavyweight contenders in this mammoth contest. However this goes, Seedy and Sabally should feel proud of what they have done for their leaders. Sabally even got the Commando sobriquet thanks his to service.
Still, Tomorrow’s election is set to live up to the hype and excitement. My grandmother who is close to 90 years old travelled alone this evening from Busumbala to our house in Ebo Town just for the election. And when I enquired if she will not have an issue identifying the candidate she will vote for among a staggering six candidates, she responded she has more experienced in voting than any of us. She is excited.
