The way I see some of us rejoice at the wedge that the BYM is (seemingly) becoming between the UDP and the presidency, as if: 'Yay!!! We can't wait for the fall out!' Is the pits of political epicaricacy. Really so low!
Perhaps it's the price to pay for being the most influential political party, but seriously??? Sometimes, in my head, I'm like: 'hey, to you be your party, and to them their party!' Particularly lately that the suggestion making the rounds on here, by folks who aren't even UDP, is Darboe to retire from party leadership... as if that's not entirely his party's call?
And seeing how the man's given his life to the party and to politics, the admirable strategist he's at it, at this point that his is all about loyalty and commitment to party objective, that shouldn't even be a motion... that's like asking him to retire to 'no life to retire to.'
But that's us (the average Gambian) for you. When we support you, you become a holy object. We can find you holding a gas canister and a box of matches, smelling like a chimney, near the fire, and still try to find someone to blame the blaze on.
But oh, boy! Should we like someone above you... even holding a fire extinguisher makes you the perp. We'd adduce that you're just tryna put out what you started. Our sense of affection pays zero attention to even the natural imperfections of the people we glorify, and I don't know if that's a good thing.
