Dear Editor,
It‘s no surprise to anyone that the opposition leader Mr. Granger and the entire pack of crooks from APNU+AFC categorically refused and backed away from former president Bharrat Jagdeo’s challenge to debate him during the elections campaign.
The truth is Mr. Granger and his followers have done themselves a great deal of good by refusing to debate the honorable former president because these no-brainers really don‘t have anything to debate; they are scared to face the real music for the sole reason that it will expose them to the voters at this crucial time.
However, debate or no debate, the two-faced opposition coalition APNU+AFC is in for a rude awakening come elections day May 11. The track records of the PPP/C against that of the PNC now calling itself APNU+AFC will prove the difference. Guyanese voters already know that had it not been for the opposition living up to their name Guyana would have seen a lot more progress over the past three years.
But the opposition opposed every bill that the ruling PPP/C government tabled. It opposed just for the sake of opposing. They are the ones that stymied further developments that would have seen Guyana transformed into a much better place for all Guyanese.
The upcoming elections will settle the scores for APNU+AFC; it will bring closure to the Guyanese people, who because of these short-sighted people, did not receive all the benifits they deserved over the past three years. So come May 11 all will witness the final nail been driven into the opposition coalition coffin.
And I hope that this time around when they return to their rightful places as minority oppositions in the House that they will not only warm the benches and make meaningless opposition, but that they will use the opportunity to be more thoughtful and constructive in what they are opposing.
