APNU+AFC urges PPP to return to Jagan principles and ideals

Mar 08, 2015 News

–    says a Jagdeo led PPP showed disregard for the dignity of public office
A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) has joined the rest of the country in remembering the life of the late former President of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan.
The coalition acknowledged Dr. Jagan as a “decent man of class who embodied a spirit of grace, of personal integrity, of insisting on truth, on modest living, on the equality of all people, and on ensuring that the concerns of ordinary people, the working class, were always foremost in his consideration.”
Further, the coalition urged that the People’s Progressive Party (PPP)—which was founded by Dr. Jagan—to return to the ideals of the man labeled as one of the founding fathers of Guyana as a nation. APNU+AFC also called on the PPP to join them in ensuring a campaign that is focused on “genuine issues and on the reality of the challenges facing ordinary Guyanese people today.”
The coalition said that “the PPP under (former President and current executive member, Bharrat Jagdeo) has become far removed from the principles of Dr. Jagan, the man it refers to as its living guide and is now tainted with corruption, excess, inequality, a lack of respect for human rights and a general disregard for the dignity of public office.”
The coalition added that the PPP will today host an official function at Babu John to acknowledge Dr. Jagan. ”The event follows our own successful campaign launch, one where we committed to move this country forward in the spirit of national unity, reconciliation and to putting an end to wanton corruption, inequality and impunity.”
APNU+ AFC said that it is time the PPP—which forms part of Dr. Jagan’s legacy—”truly seek to return to the ideals for which he strove and divorce itself from cussdown politics. The people of Guyana deserve better. It is time for one nation.”
