‘Don’t let anybody come and tell you that you deh bad’- Yvonne Pearson to indigenous people

Wait 5 sec.

Amerindian leader Yvonne Pearson has warned her fellow indigenous people to be wary of politicians who will come with promises to their communities seeking their votes for the 2025 General and Regional Elections.“To Amerindian villages, don’t be misled, don’t be distracted, don’t let anybody come and tell you that you deh bad. No way!” she said during her address to the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) supporters gathered at Anna Regina, Essequibo Coast, Region Two for the party’s rally on Saturday afternoon.“They will come in all colours, all race; don’t listen to them. Come September 1, we voting for the PPP/C,” she added.The former Toshao of Mainstay/Wyaka and Member of Parliament noted that the PPP/C is the only party with “real leadership” devoid of any uncertainty regarding who those leaders are.“We ain’t wonder who going to be the Prime Minister or President, we ain’t wondering anything, we know who will be our President, we know who is our Vice President, we know who is the Prime Minister,” she said, taking a jab at other political parties which took some time before announcing their Prime Ministerial Candidates for the upcoming polls.She referred to the development in Region two which includes developments in health and education, construction of roads, provision of training and employment opportunities and more.“We see development, we do not have to take lamp and look for it. Essequibo has been transformed, Essequibo is moving forward…in all this development, in all that is happening, I want to say loud and clear that the Amerindian villages are not left behind because of our leadership with the vision… don’t let nobody come and tell you we are being left behind,” Pearson said.The Amerindian leader also lauded the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) which has contributed greatly to the development of Amerindian communities.Recently, Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo disclosed that the government allocates more than 20% of the LCDS funds to the Indigenous communities amounting to over $14B to conduct developmental projects.The post ‘Don’t let anybody come and tell you that you deh bad’- Yvonne Pearson to indigenous people appeared first on News Room Guyana.
