Dr Ismaila Ceesay has responded to Essa Faal over the lawyer’s education self-praise insisting there are more educated people than the lawyer.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Fatu Network, Dr Ceesay said: “I think every leader has a right to say that ‘I’m the best candidate for the job’. As we speak, we think we are the best candidate for the job. He has a right to run for office, he has a right to promote himself.
“But that doesn’t mean that we have to engage ourselves in a very premature debate as to who is the most educated. But whenever there is a narrative which is false, if it’s not countered, it becomes the true narrative and that is not the case.
“The gentleman is not the most educated. There are more educated people. If it’s only by qualification, there are more educated people who are already in the field. If it’s experience and competence, none of the leaders currently in opposition has been tested and given the reigns of power to prove their mettle. So therefore all we say as politicians is what we think we can do.”
