Lots of people are impressed by David Granger

Jun 28, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am writing to share my experiences when recently I wore T-Shirts in New York, with APNU’s Presidential Candidate David Granger’s picture on them. The T-Shirts read, “Granger – A good life for all Guyanese.”
Last Saturday (June 25) I was at Cunningham Park working out, as usual, and I got these responses from some folks.
Indo Guyanese politely inquired who Granger was. Trinidadians said he looked like A N R Robinson. Black and White Americans wanted to know if Granger was a Democrat or Republican. Some said he looked like an “older, wizened Obama.” The Jamaicans, Haitians, and Nigerians asked if he was “a spiritual leader.”
On Sunday (June 26) I was at Flushing Meadows Park where Canal # 1 Polder and Leonora held their annual re-union picnics.
The crowd was of course all Indo Guyanese reflecting the ethnic composition of those villages in Guyana. I had two negative comments from two known diehard PPP supporters.
Most of the people just looked at Granger’s picture and read the logo. Some asked who Granger was.
The better informed persons offered these comments: Granger would make a good President; Granger was too honest to be a politician; Granger made a good move to have Dr Rupert Roopnaraine with him; Granger looked more spiritual than political; Granger would deal with the drug lords; Granger was the right man to restore law and order; Granger would be like Hoyte, he would not tolerate corruption.
People asked me why I was supporting Granger and my response was that after fifty years of racial strife and underdevelopment, Guyana needed a very special spiritually developed leader who has the intellect and transformational abilities to reconcile and unite all the ethnic groups.
Granger has already demonstrated such qualities by uniting almost all the opposition parties into A Partnership for National Unity.
That the WPA is a main force in APNU shows that at the intellectual level Guyanese are ready for national reconciliation and unity.
That Granger has stated that if he became President he would include the AFC and PPP in a unity government, although the AFC had rebuffed him and the PPP had slandered him, shows how spiritually and intellectually developed Granger is.
