I got to thank God, but I got to thank the People’s Progressive Party Civic that welcomed me like a family…“I got to thank you, the members of the People’s Progressive Party Civic who welcomed me, James Bond, a former PNC, into the PPP family.”Bond ended with a message for the Opposition Presidential Candidate: “I want Aubrey Norton in Bam Bam alley to hear ‘Ali, Ali, Ali!’.”The post ‘We can trust the PPP/C and Irfaan Ali’ – James Bond tells Lusignan appeared first on News Room Guyana.
