Call Sunday’s pilgrimage to the Babu John Cemetery at Port Mourant, by  the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government, members and well wishers, a renewal of faith in  principles of what the Party’s  late Founder and former President, Dr. Cheddi Jagan, had believed in and  practised during his many decades of struggle for the working class of Guyana.
And just in case the Jeremiahs and others of the order of naysayers had expected a reduced gathering, then the very large crowd signaled that those who had re-directed their support elsewhere have returned to their natural political home. In plain language, this means that those party faithfuls have wakened to the realization that all what they have achieved from the hard work and dedication of the PPP/C’S efforts at rebuilding Guyana, and a better life for its citizens, has now been threatened by a clique of political opportunists.
It must therefore be seen as a call to arms, to guard against itinerant political squatters. Thus, even though  OBSERVER may not have heard anyone with the actual phrase “they shall not pass”, it is quite a certainty that such would have been repeated silently from the lips of the multitude gathered at the shrine.
In every country’s history, there are moments that demand decisive actions, which include hard thinking and conclusive actions. This is one of our moments, when Guyana is confronted with two choices, both simple, because there should be no ambiguity, particularly with all our gains and continuous hopes for a better future for all at stake. It is either we advance into the sunlight of the future, or we revert into the dark mists of yesterday. These are the two choices which are not difficult to understand, each and its individual consequences, for better or worse.
Given the progressive transformation now underway, where the old is being replaced with the new, where there is fulsome confidence in what this government has been doing for Guyana, citizens will not countenance any hindrance toward their progress of material comfort. This perspective is taken against the background of the many who had experienced the long drought of socio-economic hardships.
OBSERVER repeats that no Guyanese who witnessed those unspeakable years will ever want a repeat of them; as this will mean a loss of all that they have gained.
So for those comrades of the recently formed alliance – your time will not come, at least not on May, 11.
