Former Chairman of the National Toshao Council (NTC), Joel Fredericks, is urging residents of Region Nine Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) to reject “force-ripe” leaders who are now “popping up and peddling lies.”
“We see force-ripe leaders popping up. Tell me something man, force-ripe thing good? Anything that is force ripe, good? No!
“They are force-ripe leaders peddling lies. So be aware of the force-ripe politicians, force-ripe leaders, Fredricks said in his address to a massive crowd of people at a PPP/C political rally in Lethem.
He lauded the leadership of the ruling PPP/C government, noting that it is a party with experienced leaders.
“In good leadership, any organisation, institution… it rises and falls on leadership. Under the PPP/C government, we have excelled and advanced in leadership.
“You don’t wake up a morning sudden suh from a dream and say you want to run a country….some of us, we don’t want to come through the door, we come through the window and the good book says when you come through the window, you are a thief,” the former Toshao said.
He warned Region Nine residents not to put their future at risk and to stick with the party that has a vision.
“Our decision we have to make on September 1 – a decision that will transform lives. The good book says, where there is no vision, the people perish. And under the PPP/C administration, there are visionary leaders.
“Gone are the days of visionless leaders. We had that time; we experienced it. That was then, this is now.”
He also encouraged residents to “change their mindset” and invest in businesses.
