Gambia News : Opposition leader urges all Gambians to unite
Leader of the opposition Gambia People Democratic Party (GPDP), Mr.
Henry Gomez, has urged Gambians to forget the past, come together and
work as one family for the progress of the country.
Gomez made the appeal in his new year’s message, made available to
PANA here Tuesday, stressing that nobody would come from outside to
develop the Gambia and that only Gambians could develop their country.
“As
we move away from one year to another new year, I would like to call on
all Gambians, irrespective of their political affiliations, to come
together and work for our own good, this is for the development of our
country,” he stated.
He called on Gambians to work with the
ruling APRC, pointing out that any Gambian could contribute in one way
or the other, his or her quota, to national development despite having
different political affiliations.
Gomez urged Gambians to forget
the past, open a new page and come together, be in the opposition or
government, adding that the country belonged to Gambians and only
Gambians could develop it.
He also called on Gambians to
apologise to each other for anything that had happened over the years,
noting that it was time for the people to support each other for the
common good of the country.
He commended the security forces for
the continued peace in the country, adding that they could not provide
100 per cent security but with all hands on deck, everyone would be
safe in the country.
