Dear Editor,
I am a religious person. I try my best to follow my religious texts and, at the same time, to follow the laws of my country, Guyana, to the best of my ability. My religion has taught me to stand against oppression and speak against the actions of wrongdoers.
Mr. Granger is also a staunch Christian, and has also pledged allegiance to the Constitution. From all indications, he has failed to do so!
Mr. Granger, you have lost the 2020 elections! Please concede, and transition power to the young and vibrant Dr. Irfaan Ali.
If you really love your country, then do the right thing, sir! Stop holding OUR country to ransom. Sir, you have been paid by the taxpayers of this country for the past 40-odd years. Please have some honesty, decency, and respect for all the outstanding taxpayers of Guyana. You need to accept that you and the APNU/AFC coalition have lost the 2nd March, 2020 General and Regional Elections.
I am calling on all of you in authority to do the right thing! Do not take OUR Guyana down this perilous road of destruction. I am also calling on the disciplined/ armed forces of the country to uphold and enforce the laws of Guyana without bias, fear or favour. You have pledged allegiance to ALL PEOPLE of this country, to uphold the Constitution and to act justly in our honour.
Lest you forget, you are all being paid by Guyanese taxpayers, and not by any ONE political party; therefore, your allegiance should be first to our country. Please don’t be influenced by the party who has your political support. Instead, stand for justice.
And to all our judges: your salaries are dependent on us, ordinary taxpayers, when the elections season has passed. So please remember your oath is to Guyana’s Constitution, and not to political party allegiance. Your actions have consequences detrimental to your careers. I implore you to be just and fair at all times.
Finally, I am appealing to all my fellow Guyanese brothers and sisters: Let us treat each other with love and respect! Let us live together in peace and harmony! Let us stand together on what is wrong and what is right!
Sincerely,
Mohamed Yousuff
(Br Bob)
