General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Dr Bharrat Jagdeo said on Saturday that the prudent choice for government, over the next five years, is the return of the PPP/C to office at the upcoming elections.
Speaking to a roaring crowd in Bartica, Region Seven, on Saturday, Dr Jagdeo outlined that the track record of President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali and Prime Minister Brigadier Ret’d Mark Phillips is unmatched when compared to the presidential hopefuls in the opposition.
Jagdeo, who serves as the vice president in the current administration, outlined that for “many years, [Dr Ali] was a competent Minister before he became the president. He’s been able to lead our country on the international stage…He’s brought together people of diverse races and he’s kept us safe from Venezuela because he’s respected globally.“
Describing PM Phillips, Dr Jagdeo said, “Mark Phillips was the head of the army. He, too, has experience in commanding people.”
However, he said the track record of the opposition is dismal.
He affirmed, “How could you ever entrust the future of our country, of your children in the hands of people who have absolutely no experience? You will not hire them to run a small business you have, much less run our country.”
