Dear Editor,
In a Stabroek News article carried on October 6, 2019 under the heading “‘Give us a chance’ Granger in re-election appeal to Linden voters”. It was reported that President Granger said, “From the time we were born, we were born to lead and we are leading the country to greater independence now in 2019”.
I need the President to explain to me who is the “we” he is referring to? Is it the PNC? If this is so, then it therefore means that his government has no need for the AFC, the WPA and the other parties that make up the coalition.
Or is the “we” he is referring to Afro-Guyanese? What does this, therefore, mean to the members of the coalition that are of other races?
What is most troubling about his statement is that his inference is that only this “we” he referred to is capable of providing leadership in this country and that those outside of this “we” can’t contribute anything towards the development of Guyana. It is this kind of divisive thinking that has the country in the current sad state it is in. It is therefore incumbent upon Mr Granger to clarify who is the “we” that he is referring to.
Sincerely,
Todd A Morgan
