“Christie: Get swayed by Papa, end up with Minnis” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “IF the Free National Movement wins this election, Dr. Hubert Minnis would not be able to rely on former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham for leadership, Prime Minister Perry Christie emphasized in Crooked Island on Saturday.

He said; ‘Because nobody listens to him, (Dr. Minnis) called Hubert (Ingraham) out of retirement and I don’t want you to forget this, Hubert and I squared off in 2012 and who won in 2012?

So all I’m telling you is this: whether it’s Hubert Ingraham, whether it is the Right Honorable Hubert Ingraham, whether it is ‘Papa’ Hubert whatever it is, that Hubert Ingraham, that papa, that right honorable is not going to be able to do the job for Hubert Minnis because at the end of the day the people of The Bahamas are smart enough to know that it is Minnis that is supposed to lead, it’s Minnis who is supposed to have an idea and a vision for the country, it’s Minnis who does not have the idea, does not have the vision and it is Minnis who is hiding behind a lot of nasty things this time around, just talking bad about people and hoping to win an election on it.’

Mr. Christie’s comments came as he contrasted he unity in his party with the disunity in the FNM in recent years.’

Hasn’t Hubert Minnis been criticized for not talking ‘nasty’ about people on the campaign trail and actually articulating a plan to move the country, thereby leaving many persons disappointed?

It would seem that the impending doom that faces the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has its leader speaking in odd tongues and showing his sheer confusion; like the persons that they have out at the round-a-bouts pushing PLP literature into my red SUV with its TWO Free National Movement (FNM) flags; I took it, I will read and I will probably use it against them.

What is this now about Hubert Minnis having to pull the Rt. Hon. Hubert Ingraham out of retirement because no one will listen to him [Dr. Minnis]?  This reminds me of when Perry Christie and the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) pulled Dame Marguerite Pindling out of her bed to speak at their rallies, or have they forgotten this and if Sir. Lynden were alive; anyway it is all politics and good politics.

It is not only good politics for Dr. Minnis to have Hubert Ingraham speak at FNM political events, as president hopeful Hillary Clinton had out-going President Obama speak at some of her political events; it is commonsense and we know one thing, no one can get ‘Papa’ to say anything that he is not willing to say; so what is Perry Christie afraid of?

I laugh at how things have began to play out because Perry Christie should be the last to speak about persons that do not listen, especially to their leader, as he has overseen the most out of control Cabinet and government that this country has ever seen and with each and every misstep by this government there have been NO repercussions and the people of  country has been the ones to suffer but yet the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) insists that we have moved Forward Together. 

The country has not moved forward and we certainly have not been together but yet it is the Free National Movement that  Perry Christie would wish for you to believe is disjointed while under the leadership of the Perry Christie and the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) the entire country has been at odds and on the decline for the past five years but now they [the Progressive Liberal Party] seek to convince us to vote for them again so that they can build on the ’foundation’ which they have laid and I ask what foundation and at whose expense?

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
