The attention of the Office of the Leader of the Opposition was drawn to an article published in the Chronicle Newspapers under the caption, “Jagdeo Extends Olive Branch to PPP Defectors.” The article purports to be a coverage of the 20th death anniversary event of Dr. Cheddi Jagan, held yesterday at Babu Jaan, Port Mourant. The article attributes the following statement to the Leader of the Opposition “we have to be welcoming; a lot of people who left and went to the AFC are delusional and are coming back.” The Leader of the Opposition did not use the word “delusional.” The word used was “disillusioned.” This is borne out by all the videos and audio recordings of the speech of the Leader of the Opposition. We sincerely apologise for the error made by the Chronicle Newspapers, which may have very well been deliberate.
Editor’s note:
Guyana Chronicle acknowledges the mistake in our report and sincerely apologises to the Opposition Leader for any inconvenience or embarrassment this error may have caused him and his party.
