A Jambur man has accused the United Democratic Party of not showing any form of solidarity to him and his family during their detention by the APRC regime in 2001.
Ba Dembo Bojang who appeared before the TRRC today to testify on former President Yahya Jammeh’s 2009 so-called witch hunt quickly veered off to narrate his 2001 ordeal, accusing the UDP leaders of abandoning him.
“I don’t like UDP anymore unless if this government leaves and they choose another person but if they choose Ousainou I will not vote for him. But if they choose a new person I will vote for that person, maybe that one vote could be reason for a victory for someone,” Mr Bojang told TRRC officials at a session Jambur today.
“Therefore, I will not vote for Ousainou Darboe and if I should hear that he chose someone I will not cast my vote for that person, I am the one who liked him but he doesn’t like me, the one who is supporting you, if he happened to got into trouble shouldn’t you care about that person,” he added.
According to him, the reason for his dislike of UDP is because the Jammeh regime had sent seven people from his family including himself for opposing APRC and UDP leader neither visited them in detention nor sending a messenger adding “from that time I have expressed I don’t like Ousainou Darboe and UDP.”
They arrested myself and my brother Dodou Kah and his son Ousman and his younger brother Dodou Bojang and my niece call Binta Sillah and my grandson Kebba Mamaring Bojang and my son Ousman Bojang, he said.
