In a joint statement signed by Ousainou Darboe of the UDP, Hamat Bah of the NRP, Omar Jallow alias OJ of the PPP and Daniel Mendy of the GMC, leaders of the opposition said the statement in their opinion was ill-considered, uncalled for, worrisome and divisive in a country where tribal and religious tolerance is the envy of the world.
