He appeared to leave the door open for a possible return after hinting that hew ould remain on the sidelines only so long as the nation’s interests were being served.
The man who led the Bahamas successfully for nearly 10 years between 1992 qnd 2002 created a stir of speculation at the Grand Bahama Association of Administrative Professionals at the Crown Plaza Gold Resort and Casino in Freeport.
Since the FNM’s 2002 election defeat, Mr. Ingraham has been adamant in refuting any suggestion of a comeback as leader. he said he wanted to observe the political scene from the sidelines.
But his words in Freeport, though ambiguous, have been interpreted as a possible change of mind. He said:
“Now I am listening. And now some people say I’m not talking enough. Perhaps one day I’ll get it right. The welfare and betterment of the Bahamas remains my obsession, my only obsession. And so I say as long as those who are in, advance the Bahamas and all its people, people like me, who are out, will be comfortable with our station in life. I say no more today.”
