DrChukzy:
The inclusion of that Dullard called Buhari is one of the reasons the man rejected to step down.

Omeokachie:



In politics you read between the lines and pay close attention to body language.

Everybody knows about the human rights abuses under Jammeh's administration.

Barrow just confirmed in that interview that he will look into it and apply the law. In other words we are talking about jail term or death on conviction depending on what the law says in The Gambia. Now that was tackless of Barrow knowing you are trying to get rid of a dictator who has control of the army. Patience and less talk is a virtue, especially for a president.


You claimed a lady supporter of his made the comments. Any link of that to back your assertion?

nwamehn:


I'm neither in support of ur view nor his but if u read what he wrote well, u would have seen that he said they wouldn't have conceded defeat after elections if they were Muslims. So, I guess u would have to find non-muslim presidents who didn't concede defeat after elections that they lost and use them as examples (I believe there ar many of them) and not Kabila and Mugabe, cos those two ar yet to lose elections first, let alone conceding defeat.

SmartyPants:


He simply had to toe the neutral line. To claim outrightly claim Mr. Jammeh would not be prosecuted at all would rile up the people who had just voted him in to power; to claim he would not be prosecuted and later turn back on that would on the other hand rile up Mr. Jammeh's fanbase and set a bad precedent of dishonesty from his government; and to outrightly claim he would be prosecuted would be to back the man into a corner and cause him to defend his interests fiercely. As you can see, the only acceptable political answer is the one that says everything and yet says nothing.

Leave him now, that was how Laurent Gbagbo started his own disgrace.
He should be arrested and chained like a Dog and then hauled to the Hague, withdrawal of membership or not.
Those whom the Gods are about to destroy, dem nor dey hear word!


This is why l know that Goatluck Jonathan was smart, though timid!
My guy nor wan go prison, he quickly handover.

Since you have decided to hold his brief, what has islam got to do with a jammeh's about turn?

brokenplate:

That one concern them


Dear Nairalanders thanks for your patronage so far. Please contact me on my signature for your Xmas goat.

MARKone:
There is something fundamentally wrong with African leaders, this Idi Amin look alike of a man have been in power since 1994, is now defeated and refuses to step down. . If it is archival men like own Bubu and Mugabe, it is power drunk iidiots, that thinks that the country is their personal property, sad indeed.

Vick4rill:
i hope after xmas we can rest with this constant and boring advertisement?

onatisi:

Jammeh will not step down and nothing will happen,the worst that will happen is sanctions been imposed on Gambia .

Sirwallace:


what about gbagbo that did the same in ivory coast. how did he end up? guess you are not a student of history. this is 2016 not 1816.

Aburi001:
This guy will end up like Samuel Doe and Charlce Taylor of Liberia

You can not impose yourself on your People

Omeokachie:
This is what you get when you are unpresidential in your utterances...

Barrow won and Jammeh conceded, only for Barrow to start talking about probes of corruption and human rights abuses.
Why not wait until the transfer of power before making your intentions known?


Reminds me of Buhari making the 97% vs 5% unpresidential comment that have since polarised the country.

They should start thinking about compromises as Barrow has spoilt everything already. Jammeh being a soldier will not be a sitting duck, and would rather die than be humiliated by a civilian.

Diplomacy is what is needed now. Buhari is a square peg for this round hole, as I doubt he knows anything about diplomacy to have been asked to head this mission.

costandi:
Thats why I'm forever of the of opinion that Islam is a thorn in the flesh of the world. The most recent African Presidents who have shown examplary leadership by conceding defeat Jonathan and Mahama would surely not have done so, were they Muslims. Now, he's claiming that only allah can take the presidency away from him. Same way our Islamic president said some years back that he'd make the country ungovernable, just because he lost at the polls. Call me a religious bigot for all I care. Islam is all about war and bloodshed, and they do all these in the name of Allah. What a tragedy!

hotice01:
Nothing will happen to Jammeh!
The worse that can happen is sanctions imposed on Gambia.
If Assad of Syria is still in power then Jammeh stands a good chance.
I believe he is smarter than most of think.For him to make this decision he has covered all his bases.
After seeing how GEJ is been treated by the same man who was appointed head of negotiation committee for ECOWAS,he had to take this decision to save his neck and prestige.
Not everyone is as docile as GEJ.

Paentera:

Weak, ineffectual analysis.
Assad has mouth because of Russia's backing. Who is backing Jammeh?

TeamSimple:

You are not just a religious Bigot,you are an Idiota.

Laurent Gbabo of cote d'voire
Robert Mugab of Zimbabwe aren't they christians.
Typical Nigerian christian,quick to tell us the once that relinquished power as a christian but failed to tell u about others that didn't even after seeing people mention Gbabo in the comments.

You people will never hide your hypocrisy one bit..Are people of Gambia who voted him out not muslims? I the incoming president not muslim?

Whenever a muslim does something abnormal, Islam is under fire but your brain becomes block when same happens through a christian.

The same way your forefathers detest Islam,but still went 6feet underground with Islam still growing in numbers,so shall you and your likes end up in the grave and Islam still gonna be practice. The earlier you note that the better for your health.

Useless son of discord.

The Allah people at it again, I'm getting afraid of Dem this days

go ask gbagbo and gadafi .....wetin do dem.........

oyeb15:
Are we even sure if our man will go if voted out in 2019?

nwamehn:


I don't know. That's exactly what u have to prove to the guy by giving him examples of non-muslims that lost election but refused to concede defeat, and not using Kabila and Mugabe as examples.
If someone says that if Jonathan and Mahama were to be Muslims that they would not have conceded defeat after losing election, then just give him examples of non-muslims that refused to concede defeat after losing election to show him that it's not only Muslims that refuse to concede defeat after losing election. And not bringing examples of people who haven't lost election before. How can someone concede defeat for an election he won?

Boss, I am not saying Islam or Christianity caused whoever not to concede defeat to whoever. I'm only telling u that ur examples of Kabila and Mugabe ar very flawed.
1. Kabila: He was elected as President in 2006. In 2011, he was re-elected for a second term. Kabila's term was due to expire on 20 December 2016 as per the constitution, adopted in 2006. Officials have suggested elections will be held November 2016. However, on 29 September 2016, the nation's electoral authority announced that the election would not be held until early 2018. Talk has focused on the need for a census before holding elections.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kabila
So, boss, I don't know how exactly u got this ur info about Kabila refusing to hold elections.
2. Mugabe: Opposition to Mugabe grew, particularly through the Movement for Democratic Change, although he was re-elected in 2002, 2008, and 2013 through campaigns dominated by electoral fraud and nationalistic appeals to his rural Shona voter base.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mugabe
At the same time, I don't know exactly how we arrived at the fact that the last election held in Zimbabwe in 2013 was cancelled when Mugabe saw he would lose. We can only say that the elections were characterised with so much electoral fraud which prevails all over Africa including Nigeria.

But, u can go to google and get names of non-muslim presidents who refused to concede defeat when they lost election and post them, that would trash the guy's argument straightaway, and not using Kabila and Mugabe as examples.
The perfect example I expected u to give was Robert Guei, my only problem is that he later conceded defeat and fled after series of protests from people.

So who did? Who provided for the materials used in election.

If the constitution called for election and he decided to follow suit. If he had decided not to go ahead with the election like he has done in the past 22years who would care? No one.

But he consented to the constitution by allowing the election and even participating.

Gadaffi never called for an election and his people never complained only the external forces that he wouldn't now to.

Isiokpukpu:

No this is unacceptable. He should be in Gambia already. Jammeh must accept defeat just the way he accepted defeat in 2011

you sef no serious
