Dear Editor,
As a loyal Guyanese, who is anxious to witness urgent political change(s) so that our beloved country could return to socio-economic peace and stability, I have to be naturally upset with the recent defection of Richard Van West Charles to the AFC.
Since “…Charity begins at home…”, one has to be shocked that the son-in-law of the founder-leader of the PNC and someone who up to a couple of years ago had vigorously sought the leadership of the PNC/R, would jump ship at this hour of the night—Just before dawn breaks on November 29th, in order to be a mate on the enemy’s ship.
I am further amazed that Mr. Van West Charles, who often advocated for racial and national unity in Guyana, is now questioning the decision of the (current) PNC/R leadership to enter into an alliance with other political parties via APNU in order to obtain the (electoral) removal of the PPP/C administration from office.
Editor, there is an obvious “… Silver lining behind the dark cloud…” and that lining is the VINDICATION of PNC/R members who had decided some years ago to reject Van West Charles’ attempts to hijack the leadership of our political movement. Morris Wilson, Central Executive Member, PNC/R
