–Former PNCR member, Region Four Vice-Chairman urges citizens to ‘lock in’ a second term for PPP/C for continued transformation

DEFIANT and unapologetic, former opposition member and Vice-Chairman of Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica), Samuel Sandy, urged Guyanese voters ahead of the September 1 polls to choose the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) for continued progress.

While warning them of the opposition’s rebranding to shift its tarnished image, the vice-chairman during a public meeting on Tuesday at the Mahaica Market Square said: “They (opposition) are trying to fool us; they keep changing their names over and over…A snake can shed its skin over and over, but at the end of the day, we know it is a snake… and we know that you don’t pet snakes, snakes are venomous.”

Sandy who is among the many Afro-Guyanese being attacked publicly for endorsing the ruling party, did not mince his words when he said he feels respected and welcomed in the PPP/C.

He urged citizens to stay the course with the PPP/C to continue the progress and to reject the opposition’s attempts to divide Guyana.

He said: “I must warn you of those who are coming now to tell you that they will offer you this, and they will offer you that. Let them know that you have experienced transformation, and the only party that can continue that is the People’s Progressive Party.”

Sandy said that while all the opposition knows how to take away, the PPP/C knows how to restore and open doors.

“They (opposition) don’t have plans for you,” he said, cautioning citizens of the opposition’s lofty promises.

The regional official urged voters to reject the opposition and its attempt to seduce the electorate with unrealistic promises.

He pointed to the development taking place in Guyana from massive employment opportunities to the transformation of the education sector and said: “Through the GOAL scholarships, we have universities all around the world being accessed by our people for free. So, what is it they (opposition) are coming to offer? We have it already, and much, much more to come.”
