Dear Editor,
Self-destruction, as defined by the Oxford and Cambridge Press, reads thus: “It is the behaviour of a person – in this case an organization – that is likely to make them fail.” It is tantamount to suicide, and the PNC have done it all by themselves. They were already on the verge of collapse when the coalition of sorts was torn apart by the Charrandas no-confidence motion, as other members in that grouping began soul-searching as to their role in a party that never really cared for the masses.
Instead of turning the searchlight inwards and looking into the core issues that Charrandass raised in his no-confidence appeal, the PNC became more locked in their ways to vindictively ostracise all dissenters from their midst. It was a brutal move; subtle at first, but then became openly obvious thereafter when the mouth-foremost, educated idiot David Hinds came lashing out. He repeatedly affirmed that the new political union of PNC/WPA will continue to hold strongly to their Black Supremacist views, irrespective of Indians and those of moderate Blacks in the party.
Hinds and Ogunseye have been relentless on this theme, never letting up ever since. They were adamant that they are going forward with that setup of the Black Republic in Guyana. In this regard, they set about in that passive-aggressive mode of theirs, playing the victim at times, when they would claim that every Black person who died met their demise due to some ghastly deed of the PPP/C party. On other occasions, they would preach race hate and glorify criminals. These guys never stop to think that these statements would cause a deleterious effect on their party.
Norton, as Leader of the Opposition, never chided nor disassociated himself from the utterances of the political pests around him; rather, he supported those utterances, cheerleading them on that destructive path of division and backwardness. This was the final nail in the PNC’s coffin, as races from all across the Guyanese society begin walking away from that party. Persons began to see the party for who they really are, and did not want to be mentioned with that political union.
So, come the next Local Government Election, there would be great surprises for the party. I predict that there will be huge inroads made in the PNC strongholds. Many areas that were considered impregnable would fall. I would again return to this topic when the time is right.
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
