Leadership is no monkey business, there is no comparison to Irfaan Ali – Carolyn Rodrigues at Lusignan

Wait 5 sec.

Choosing leadership is serious business and no monkey business, celebrated Amerindian leader Carolyn-Rodrigues-Birkett told tens of thousands of PPP supporters Saturday afternoon, saying the PPP’s Irfaan Ali cannot be compared to ‘little boy blue’ and any other running to be president at Monday’s general elections.Rodrigues, ambassador at Guyana’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations praised President Irfaan Ali’s leadership, asking voters to imagine if Azruddin Mohamed, the sanctioned businessman running for president, had to speak at the United Nations. Though not addressing him by name, she said that would not be the time to look in the air, referring to the viral photo of Mohamed at Nominations Day.On the other hand, she said Dr Ali knows what he is about and he is a tested leader.“There is no comparison,” she said.She said President Ali can speak on any issue, in and out of Guyana, on climate change, economic development, peace and security.Rodrigues-Birkett said the government had channelled more resources directly to citizens than at any time in the country’s history, crediting what she called “capable, tested leadership” from Ali,Prime Minister Mark Phillips and Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo.She said countries with far more resources than Guyana have collapsed because of bad leadership, referring to the situation in Venezuela.Rodrigues-Birkett urged voters to turn out in large numbers on September 1, saying the PPP/C was offering “the strongest team of leadership Guyana has ever had.”The post Leadership is no monkey business, there is no comparison to Irfaan Ali – Carolyn Rodrigues at Lusignan appeared first on News Room Guyana.
