[rpd] Sami's status as a co-chair

[ABDULKARIM AYOPO OLOYEDE]

Dear all,
I would have wished to remain quite and keep watching things but it seams
sometimes it's better to talk.
The only reason why Sami's position is being challenged now is because he
took a deciosn that some people are not happy with and they now feel
cutting his head off is better.
This is just rediculus. Can we not separate issues and always have to
degenerate to this level.
This was exactly my point in Tunisia. We need personality change not a
change in policy cos some people would always want to have thier personal
interest protected against the collective interest.
Thanks
Abdulkarim
