Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Perry Christie said yesterday he has instructed his attorneys to take legal action against “those responsible” for a Free National Movement (FNM) television ad that he claims defames him.
Controversy has surrounded the PLP leader after he confirmed that Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC) was benefiting from advice he was providing as a consultant for Davis & Co. law firm, which represents BPC.
He backtracked a week later claiming that he no longer works as a consultant for the firm.
In a statement issued yesterday, Mr Christie said he has no relationship with the Bahamas Petroleum Company.
“My consultancy arrangements with Davis & Co, under which I had provided consultancy services to various clients of that firm, including BPC, were completely terminated well before the fake controversy over BPC even started.
It has since become political ammunition for the Free National Movement’s campaign.
According to Christie there will be no oil drilling in The Bahamas under a PLP government unless there is public support.
