PDOIS leader Halifa Sallah has said 2021 should be a year to rethink and reinvent The Gambia, joining other political leaders in addressing citizens.
In his New Year message streamed by Kexx Sanneh on Facebook, Mr Sallah said: “The objective of the government from the very beginning was to ensure that we have a transition that will create the foundation of a country owned by the people.
“A country where day and night, the radio and television will be utilised to enable the Gambian people that they are sovereign and that based on their sovereignty they should be able to select their manner of government and that no government deserves to lead them that is not based on their consent.
“That no government deserves to remain other than the one that will exercise the power entrusted them to be able to address the needs and aspirations of the people. That was the objective.
“But it seems that many people are beginning to lose sight of that objective and the focus is on power, rather than empowerment of the people.
“That is why 2021 should be a year to rethink, to reinvent The Gambia. It is a year that offers us opportunity but it’s also a year which can lead us into the grand alley, unless we open our eyes and see the truth and know the truth.”
