President exposes “opposition plot” at De Edward meeting

Berbice: President Bharrat Jagdeo called on residents of De Edward, West Coast Berbice to be watchful of the approach opposition parties are using during the 2011 national and regional elections campaign which are similar to the tactic used in the past to oust the incumbent government.

“Today again we are seeing all the signs of that happening. The secret meetings between APNU (A Partnership for National Unity) and the AFC (Alliance for Change), their only objective is to bring our votes below 50 percent so that we will win the presidency but we can’t manage the country because they will control the parliament. We wouldn’t be able to pass the budget, we wouldn’t be able to pass any legislation, the country will come to a standstill,” President Jagdeo said.

He then turned his attention to the public meetings hosted by the AFC in communities where the PPP/C support is strong and the deliberate statements by new member Moses Nagamootoo and Presidential Candidate Khemraj Ramjattan about corruption and bribery.
