PPP says if Nagamootoo leads Unity Talks, the initiative will go nowhere

Georgetown : The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) today says the party notes the statement by Mr. Raphael Trotman, spokesman for the APNU+AFC, touting Mr. Moses Nagamootooas the “best person” to lead negotiations for “unity talks with the PPP”.
The PPP wishes to state that if such a move is part and parcel of the so-called “fresh approach” by the APNU+AFC then it is clearly a non-starter and will end up dead in the water.
The party acknoldged the dim view the PPP holds of Moses Nagamootoo, the APNU+AFC by insisting that he istheir ‘best man’ who will head its team must know that that initiative will go nowhere. Thus, by pushing Nagamootoo center-stage it is now pellucidly clear that the Coalition objective is not to have any talks at all but to put the PPP/C on the defensive and to project the Party as refusing to engage in talks with the government. The entire affair therefore smacks of a political gimmick.
The opposition party further stated that since this appears to be acalculated move by the APNU+AFC to boost the sagging image of the AFC it is doubtful that such a move will gain any traction and is therefore bound to backfire.
Finally, it should not be ruled out that thisill-fated move with Nagamooto in the driving seat is perhaps in furtherance of a pre-electoral commitment made to certain external forces by Mr. Nagamootoo on behalf of the APNU+AFC.
