Why not Ingraham for a fourth term?
As Frenchmen cried out for the return Charles de Gaulle and Americans for Franklin D Roosevelt so are Bahamians crying out for Ingraham to return!
“With both political parties in disarray, the Treasury broke and unwelcome signs of economic meltdown looming, we suggest that Mr Ingraham get a well-earned rest and prepare for the day — when like General Charles de Gaulle during the Algerian crisis in the fifties — he is recalled from retirement to right the ship of state.” – by Eileen Dupuch Carron, Tribune Editorial
With the horrendous performance of the Christie-led PLP Government and the poor performance of the Hubert Minnis and Carl Bethell led Opposition, there are voices calling out for The Right Honourable Hubert Alexander Ingraham to return as Leader of the FNM and as Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
It was Mr Ingraham who led the FNM in opposing the recent referendum.
While Dr Zig-Zag Minnis and Rasputin Bethell were all over the map and could not come up with a definitive position on the referendum questions, the former Prime Minister and again, soon to be leader of the FNM, declared “ VOTE NO”.
FNMs followed his lead.
If it were not for Mrs Loretta Butler-Turner, one would think that the FNM did not exist in the House of Assembly.
In addition to defending the legacy of Mr Ingraham and three terms of FNM governance, Mrs Turner aggressively takes on the PLP on a myriad of topical issues.
FNMs are angry with Minnis and Bethell because it would appear that they are collaborating with PM Christie and the PLP while FNMs are being victimised and treated like second-class citizens in their own country.
Minnis appointed Bethell to serve on a farce and PR-driven Constitutional Commission and recently encouraged FNMs to participate in another farce: “One Bahamas “.
- If there is truly a “One Bahamas”, why were 150 Urban Renewal officers fired by the PLP?
- Why was Johnley Ferguson victimised?
- Why was Debbie Moxey victimised?
- Why was Floyd Wilmot victimised?
- Why was Elizabeth Thompson victimised?
Real leadership is on the way.
FNM Undercover’s Editorial Board has canvassed FNM supporters on the question of leadership and the consensus is:
- Rt Hon Hubert Ingraham – Leader.
- Mrs Loretta Butler Turner – Deputy Leader.
- Mr Zhivargo Laing or Dr Duane Sands – Chairman.
- Mr Michael Foulkes – Secretary General.
- Dr Mildred Hall – Treasurer.
- Sister Carolyn Hanna – Chaplain.
