THEY came to my home during the election campaigns and spoke of their plans to make this country a better place for me and my family. They asked for my vote and assured me that they would be the leaders the rest of the world would be proud of. They assured me that they would turn around the social and political differences that were being exercised and that they would work in tandem with people of all walks of life, be it African, Indian, Amerindian, or any other Guyanese.Today, I must acknowledge my profound disgust with what can only be termed a hijacking; sabotage by cunning, deceitful and selfish individuals of the combined Opposition parties. I am very betrayed by all of you, that you gave me a voice of hope, only to turn around and use my vote with little thought of the ramifications.
Your actions of today and your constant and blatant disregard for people like myself and all other Guyanese is not going unnoticed, for we all see your evil and wicked plans.
You do not have this country at heart, and you fooled us into thinking that change was with you. But one thing is sure that you did not lie about: Change is about to come; the change that will hit my family and the entire nation on February 13, because of your evil and deliberate actions of walkouts and delaying tactics. For when that change hits us all, change will come to you and your party from that day onward.
The next time you or your charlatan members come into my path, you will know who I am, and what I did for your one-seat majority. But you can also rest assured that I will ensure that never happens again, for I have admitted that I was wrong, and made a mistake to vote for you. But, can you do same to the people of this nation?
