Dear Editor,
Yes, The Almighty still rules in the affairs of a place called Guyana, as quoted in the good book, he sets up Kingdoms as well as he dismantles them Daniel 2: 21 – 22. This is the situation as it is and shall be in Guyana, so amidst all the talk about Guyana being a godless state, the scripture still gives guidance as it regards our existence in this part of the world.
This fact was highlighted in The Adriana’s drowning incident, that is, using the dead for purposes other than a celebration of life. It speaks to the disgraceful conduct of a political party that used the little girl’s death for political mileage. It speaks to the running away with the lie of that child being murdered in a satanic ritual, converting it into a political campaign mantra. If this is not the actions of sick, evil minds, then what is?
Sick minds do desperate things and what transpired in our country certainly causes us to reflect and wonder if this had occurred a week or a month before elections? I shudder to think what would have been, but thank God this has taken place well before the elections, that we could see the full manifestation of opposition forces. We remember the burnings, the beatings and widespread destruction that followed, all because a lie was magnified and advocated as the truth. The political race hate that followed, speaks volumes of what those who are obsessed with power can do to our country? Is this the Guyana we want to live in? Certainly not!
Then it behooves me to posit the following:
Are we entering the Crum-Ewing phase of our election campaign in 2025? Remember what took place three days prior to the 2015 Election and the opposition’s false accusation of The PPP/C being responsible for that man’s death? Isn’t this the same opposition who are trumpeting the Voodoo death story of Adriana?
Fast forward to the election itself, are we going to see a repeat of opposition forces blocking voters from carrying out their democratic right? Make no mistake, this was done in previous elections and there are indications that they might go down that road again.
Are we about to witness opposition’s propaganda of seeing PPP/C supporters stealing ballot boxes?
Are we about to hear the opposition accusing The PPP/C of double voting in their Strongholds?
Are we going to hear false accusations of dead people turning up to vote in PPP/C Strongholds?
Of bomb scares as was the case in the 2020 Election, these false reports have the effects of deterring voters from going out to exercise their franchise.
We are into the election season and all efforts must be put in place to defuse these subversive tactics of the opposition. In this regard I call on our Security forces to be on high alert, that means that there should be a strong police presence at all places of poll. It means that security must be heightened as we go along unto the day of elections.
Yours sincerely,
Neil Adams
