Is Azruddin Mohammed seeking an endorsement, popularity, or public sympathy?

Jul 22, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

Since the conclusion of the March 2020 elections, Mr. Azruddin Mohammed has been on a social media and public relations offensive advertising the numerous construction and infrastructural projects, charitable donations and sponsorships he is overseeing and has financed.  Is it that Mr. Mohamed is bored with his abundantly wealthy lifestyle and wants to be a social media personality and influencer at this point in his life or are there other reasons why he decided to hire a social media manager to post images of himself handing over donations, inspecting on-going infrastructure and construction projects, traversing the Demerara and Essequibo rivers with the Guyanese Critic, Mikhail Rodrigues and some other questionable characters?

Why the sudden desire and interest to showcase his wealth, financial contributions and excursions?  What is he hoping to achieve? Is it public endorsement, sympathy or is he just doing all this because he recently discovered that he wants to be a social media personality? Are they to help raise his profile and the profile or that of his father, Nazar Mohammed as a possible presidential candidate in the near future? The latter was listed as a local government candidate for the PPP in the Eccles-Ramsburg Neighbourhood Democratic Council.

Mr. Mohammed was relatively quiet for so many years prior to the PPP winning the March 2020 elections and the pumping of oil from Guyana’s shores. Perhaps he donated to the electoral feat the PPP pulled off or had interest in the party winning the elections. I’m wondering, however, did Mr. Mohamed not donate to the less fortunate and make financial contributions prior to the year 2020? Still, I cannot wrap my head around his sudden social media blitz. What does he have to gain from promoting himself as a wealthy charitable and caring person who is investing in several high-profile projects?

Since Mr. Mohammed’s recent efforts to promote himself and his good deeds, he has found himself at the centre of a few controversies. The most recent controversy is the Reuters investigative report that alleges that one or more than one of the companies he oversees with his father have been involved in facilitating international gold and drug smuggling.  To think that an officer of the Guyana Police Force implicated him in the alleged cover-up of the assassination of Ricardo Fagundes.

Perhaps Mr. Mohamed could enlighten the public because there seems to be more questions than answers.  Yet, despite the swirling questions and word on the street, because is ‘Guyana we deh and bad man ah run things’, I encourage Mr. Mohammed to continue his social media blitz, financial contributions and investments.  I think by now he has taken over the title of king social media influencer from the disgraced and toned-down Guyanese Critic.

Yours truly,

B. Bacchus
