Dear Editor,
A tsunami came to Guyana on Monday as the PPP/C went forward with pride and conviction on Nomination Day. The positive effects of that tidal wave we will witness come June this year as we go into Local Government Elections.
I am talking about the long-awaited LGE, where we would see a massive new change in this country. That change would be felt in every town, village, and hamlet. We have taken up the mantle and we are not turning back.
The events of the day remind me of the lyrics of the old Negro Spiritual which says “I’m not tired yet”. It’s a song that tells of the Christian’s sojourn in life, one that is bound up in him running to receive the prize. He is running because he has a mission to complete and he would not give up the fight until victory is won. So, the lyrics go on “I’m not tired yet”.
We in the PPP/C have been running that race for fifty-six years now, running by day and praying by night until all of Guyana is free until all men everywhere are free from the shackles that have bogged us down for too long. For too long we have had to wear the shackles of racism, rigged elections, and retrogression, things that have sent this nation backward, we will not stop until this country is free. We will continue to run until all men, irrespective of race, colour, creed, or religion would come together and work for the good of the land.
Be it New Amsterdam, Linden, or Georgetown a change will come, as more and more of our people come forward, crossing the political and race barrier to rally with the PPP/C. We want to build this nation, One Guyana is our team’s theme, onward ever forward into the future of peace and progress!
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
