A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) continued its countrywide campaign with a number of meetings in Berbice. One such meeting was held at the Junction of NO 41 Scheme in Stanleytown, New Amsterdam where a few hundred persons were in attendance. The feature speaker was APNU Executive Member and Leader of the Opposition Robert Corbin.
Corbin lashed out at the ruling Peoples’ Progressive Party/Civic for its incompetence and its lackadaisical performance which has destroyed Guyana.

APNU Executive Member and Opposition Leader Robert Corbin holds up a copy of the Kaieteur News, showing members of the public the great deception and con job of Bharrat Jagdeo’s wedding to Vashnie Singh.
He stated that the PPP is a party of deception, and conmen, who have been deceiving the Guyanese people for the last 19 years. He noted that Bharrat Jagdeo is the “chief deceiver and the chief trickster and con man.” Holding up a copy of the Sunday 13th November Kaieteur News, Corbin showed residents the photograph on the front page where Jagdeo “fooled the world that he was married to Vashnie Jagdeo. Conning everybody that he was married, what a shame. How can a President behave so low and have the gall to say things about people?”
“The PPP is in panic mode at the moment and we must vote them out,” Corbin stated.
Corbin stated that the PPP is in bed with the drug dealers and that this is the catalyst for all the bad things that are happening in Guyana at the moment.
He reminded residents about of the notorious Roger Khan, who stated that he worked with the Guyana government to fight crime. He mentioned a story told to him by a businessman who had closed his business and fled Guyana. According to Corbin, the businessman revealed that he had gone to see the President at Office of the President and Roger Khan was leaving at the same time. “He immediately became afraid, packed up and closed his business and left the country.”
Corbin reminded residents of the massacres that took place at Lusignan, Agricola, Bartica and Lindo Creek under President Jagdeo’s watch, for which no inquiry was ever held.
According to Corbin, newly converted Alliance For Change member Moses Nagamootoo was with the PPP for a long time “and if he could talk about the PPP banditry, corruption and thievery then you must believe him.”
Corbin said that when APNU had mentioned that the PPP was like Ali Baba and the 40 thieves, “They wanted to sue. But we were waiting for them. Now Nagamootoo who been with them say the ‘Robb Street’ gang make Ali Baba and is crew look like small boys.”
Corbin told the Berbicans that a vote for an APNU government is a vote for clean, lean and decent people to lead this country for the next five years.
“The Robb Street gang of thieves, yes men, soup drinkers and bandits are abusing power, and using their majority to bulldoze the Guyanese people. They must be stopped, and come November 28, the nation has that opportunity by voting for a clean APNU Government.”
“You must reject these sycophants, who are outdated and dealing in corruption, drug trafficking, threatening national security, the heart of discrimination, and simply put, dealing in bad governance.”
The PNCR Leader said that an APNU government will reduce VAT, ensure economic and infrastructural development, job-creation and investments in health, education and housing.
He went on to outline the qualifications of APNU Presidential Candidate and leader Brigadier David Granger and Prime Ministerial candidate Dr. Rupert Roopnarine who are by far the two most qualified and experienced campaigners who he said will lead Guyana with dignity.

Where was Mr. Corbin when all this conning took place? After all, he was the opposition leader from 2003. He should be ashamed to make such assertions since he remained silent and facilitated the deceptions.
Could the good gentleman Mr Corbin detail to the Guyanese People just how Mr. Jagdeo was able to con Mr. Corbin, himself, leaving him to be such an incapacitated opposition leader? Huh!?! With such a dismal record, Mr. Corbin would do well to stay off the campaign trail. Just saying…
I will not underestimate the dignity and educational background of the older generation;the question is;how and why did you allow it to get this far? Another thing Bharrat Jagdeo’s Hindu wedding should not be an issue, that marrage was blessed according tothe Hindu rights. Many common-law unions have better results that legal ones, Mr.Corbin you had 19 years to oppose the wrong doings of those /Con-artists who Punish Poor People /Children to create an illetrate nation that is infested with /Criminals…..It is time for CHANGE…..UNITY is the KEY to the solution and that KEY lies by those who are Aggressively Fighting Corruption.
Corbin talks now about what a businessman told him seeing Roger leave OP, but why only now this revelation? We know of the Khan-PPP regime corruption connection, but what has Corbin done as the taxpayer funded main Opposition Leader? Those street protests of the 90s should have been taking place NOW! Corbin was an effective foot soldier under Burnham and Hoyte, but he has flopped as a general. Step aside Corbie and let a true soldier do the duties of a general. A reformed PNC can help rebuild Guyana, but there has to be leadership change at Sophia.
Robert Corbin you have no moral authority to make any of the above accusation. You remember your role as the Minister of National Mobilisation under PNC. well Guyana is on a development path and I hope you are not dividing the country along political llines. Guyana need a Government on National Unity to realise its true potential.
Exactly what do you think he is doing? If it is not what you asked him?
Decades from now Bharrat Jagdeo will be revered and put on a pedestal as is the case with Burnham. Each leader is worse than its predecessor…… that’s the pattern.
Probably so and most likely rightly so.
Only in guyana would jagdeo still be president after lie to nation about his marriage and mistreat that woman and still have the nerves and guts to face the nation.
Why don’t you take the man to task?
Errrrr Ummm. Robbie, good intentions and all. Stay,far far, out of this one.
After-all you do live in a “house of glass!”
Probably a house of straw or plastic.
Jagdeo and Corbin are like “three card men”. Like any 3 card game one is the main player and the other his partner.
Stop trying to fool people.You have been the main accessory to the crime for the past 19 years.
You guys all have backdoor relationship.Come on stop trying to fool people. He is your buddy.
Politics is Politics and I don’t think you understand that. They write these articles to grab attention and sell. If they are buddies so what, it’s nothing personal. You need to be more understanding before you make these blinded comments.
Jadgeo conned us but what have you done to help us out. You were placed there to be a voice for us, instead you joined the band wagon like so many others and joined his party.
Receive the perks, priviliges and a fat salary from the National Treasury.
That’s what APNU should be on the campaign trail, two more weeks and it all would be over.
After when the A PNC will disappear.
Eh Eh, you come out from hiding. You got Grainja masking as the Presidential candidate until you all hope to win, then wrestle the position away from him?
Corbin, good message, but bad messenger, you should stay out of it. We already have the most qualified opposition parties in place to drive out the PPP/C
We don’t believe that Another pnc fabrication.
Look who is talking about con.He should talk about all the rigging of elections that went on when the P.N.C was in power.
Corbin, what did you do for Guyana? When you and your cronies were in power, all of you rob the National Treasury, hence wreck the country economy. So please shut up and get out of the country.
no matter who goes in power… they will always full their pocket..pnc or ppc? there will be developments yes but how much as compared internationally? do u know our GYD dollars can only buy 20 cents of haitian currency? i taught haiti was the poorest in south america?,,,where are we goin in the world?
