APP leader holds 1st press-conference




Omar Beyai, a former teacher, who recently told The Standard of his intention to take up the vacant leadership role of the APRC party, has hold his first press-conference to outline his party’s level of preparation.  
“The press-conference is meant to avail me the opportunity to outline APP’s next move to the Gambian electorate,” he told journalist in a press conference at his residence in Wulinkama last Tuesday.
He said the All People Party for the young people by the young and to be run by the young people in all sense.
Mr Beyai noted that his decision to dedicate the party to the young people is to ensure that they are represented in the country’s decision making process as they hold 60% of the country’s population.
“If I take over this country 90% of my cabinet will be the young people, because he who knows feels it. I feel is time for the young people to lead this country, and I want Gambia been the youngest country in the region to set an example,” he said.
 He continued: “Is our time to lead this country and I thank God that we are going to make it because I am receiving contacts from all over the country, from people who are willing to rally behind him”.
He also challenges the new government to work on the electoral reform as soon as possible.
 Asked when he is going to register the APP, Mr Beyai said: “Very soon. I have the full backing and the funds are available to do that even tomorrow, but I am still working on the ground to ensure that I fully put together my executive”.
He said though Gambia have voted for change, the young people still remain suppressed.
 “Trust me my system of government is going to be a decentralize system of government were all the regional and administrative areas will come-up with their own budget for regional development, and they will come up their own developmental initiative,” he said.
He said if elected every year he will organised a press-conference were all stakeholders will be present to answer question from their various department.
