“BY Tuesday or Wednesday just as it is a beautiful day today let it be a day of beauty for the PPP/C as we secure another victory.”Those were the words of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C)’s General Secretary, Clement Rohee, while speaking to a vibrant and massive crowd at the incumbent party’s final rally at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.
Rohee issued a call to the thousands gathered there, saying, “Beautiful people of Region 4 and Guyana, help us and we will stamp another victory for the PPP/C.”
Subsequent to this call, he highlighted the fact that, A Partnership For National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU+AfC)’s Presidential Candidate, David Granger’s statement that his party will win 52-68% of the votes will be reversed, as it is the PPP/C who will win that with the support of the Guyanese people.
The PPP/C stalwart alluded to the fact that, Granger has criticised the list of electors, calling it dirty, but he noted “his past is dirty, and his party has a dirty history, one which included trampling on the rights of Guyanese and the rights of freedom of speech.”
This he told the thousands of PPP/C supporters made thousands leave the country, but the PPP/C remained as solid as a rock and will continue to do so as they progress in developing Guyana.
TRIBUTE TO FOUNDERS
As the crowd chanted ‘PPP for victory,’ Rohee paid homage and honoured some of the leaders who fought for this country, like the former presidents, the late Dr. Cheddi and Janet Jagan, among others.
“We will uphold the good work of the founder leaders of the party and we will not let APNU+AFC rob us of this,” he emphasised.
DANGERS ON E-DAY
Turning to the Opposition’s mischief Rohee urged the people of Lusignan that, “there are dangers we must look out for on Monday, as the so-called palm-key party is planning every day on how to defeat the PPP/C by not adhering to the holding of free and fair elections.
“For instance, they cheated us one and a half years in Government, because the President had to dissolve Parliament because they were going to pass a no-confidence motion against us,” he said.
According the PPP/C’s General Secretary, the Opposition wanted to block a Government that is doing positive things for Guyana, that is why he called on the thousands help the PPP/C win with a majority and a victory that is so convincing and unbelievable that they could only say that the elections were free and fair.
OPPOSITION’S TRICKS
“As we turn out on Monday we must look out for all the tricks and pay attention to what happens at the polling stations…we must exercise great vigilance, because they like stuffing the ballot boxes, and we must ensure that this does not happen,” urged the PPP/C stalwart.
The energy, he noted, which is being exerted here must continue on and after the General and Regional Elections, because he added this election is about the future of this country.
Furthermore, this election is about choosing the PPP/C who in their Manifesto, “Guyana version 2.0” have pointed out developmental programmes that will be implemented after the elections.
“If we want to win we must believe in ourselves, as we must not allow powers and bullies to deprive us of what we want and what we believe in,” he lamented.
Therefore, in closing he said, “I call on everyone to stand strong in your conviction and belief…as every man, woman and child must live in a strong, stable and secure Guyana under the leadership of the PPP/C.”
