…Mohamed accuses Govt. of lying that he visited Venezuelan Embassy, applied for visa
…says administration coerced ambassador to mislead Guyanese
Presidential Candidate of WIN, Azruddin Mohamed
Kaieteur News – Businessman and Presidential candidate of the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party has categorically denied claims made by Minister of Foreign Affairs that the Mohameds have been visiting the Venezuelan Embassy frequently in a bid to secure a visa to travel to Caracas. In a statement released to the press, Mohamed denounced what he described as “baseless, malicious, and politically motivated” lies being peddled against him. “I never visited the Venezuelan Embassy, nor have I applied for a visa to travel to Venezuela,” he said.
The WIN party leader’s response comes hours after Foreign Affairs Minister, Hugh Todd claimed that he had summoned Ambassador to Guyana, Carlos Amador Perez Silva, to a meeting on the issue.
Todd noted that Congressman Carlos Gimenez had raised concerns over what he had described as Venezuela’s attempt to influence internal affairs in Guyana, specifically through Mohamed.
“I’m encouraged to inform you that only recently we found out that the Mohameds have been frequently visiting the Venezuelan Embassy here in Georgetown. Now, you can recall that we’ve had Congressmen in the United States of America who have been very vocal in connecting the Mohameds to Nicholas Maduro and his regime, particularly as it relates to smuggling and the sanctions that have been placed on Venezuela, gold smuggling that is, and money laundering,” Todd disclosed during an interview conducted by the Department of Public Information.
In a press statement last even, the businessman called out the government on the allegations.
“This smear campaign is meant to be a distraction from the PPP alleged corruption being exposed making headways on social media,” Mohamed said. He reasoned that the PPP is attempting to divert attention from the truth and suppress the voices exposing their wrongdoing. To this end, the businessman challenged the Venezuelan Embassy to produce the proof.. “Present any record of my entry to the Embassy. Show the Guyanese people a single shred of documentation of me applying for a visa,” Mohamed stated.
The businessman noted his disgust at the information being peddled by the government.
“It is off-putting that this administration would stoop to such depths, squandering state resources in a quest for political mileage against me and by extension the WIN party. To coerce the Venezuelan Ambassador into misleading the Guyanese public speaks to the lengths this administration is willing to go using his ministers as pawns. It also exposes the fact that the government of Guyana is in cahoots with the government of Venezuela,” he said adding that If backdoor meetings are being had to concoct lies, such deception put Guyana’s territorial integrity at risk. He contended that “ …With leaders like this, our sovereignty could be bartered away behind closed doors. All of Guyana must recognize this for what it is, the Ali administration is in bed with the Government of Venezuela and this presents a looming danger to our national sovereignty.”
The politician urged his supporters to not be distracted by lies but to remain laser-focused on the mission. “September 1” he said is not just polling day; “it is a turning point in our nation.”
