— Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-182)The current political impasse in Gambia has placed a burden of history on Nigeria’s President MohammaduBuhari (PMB). Watching the video of his concession speech, President Jammeh appeared shocked, but nonetheless, he wore a brave face to accept his defeat and concede to his opponent. The pertinent question to ask is: why did President Jammeh reject the election results? Still, President Jammeh may have been confronted with credible proofs of electoral fraud both from his field managers and the security apparatuses. In the case that President Jammeh is removed violently and Mr Barrow is installed, the possibility is that he will be presiding over a dislocated and destroyed nation.
