Trouble in the FNM

The Free National Movement (FNM) must get its act together.

When I read Saturday’s Nassau Guardian, I was most impressed that Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner had decided that she would take the high road and exemplify political maturity.

Imagine my surprise when I was told on Sunday that Mrs Butler-Turner was among a group of MPs who wrote a letter demanding that Senator Lanisha Rolle publicly apologise to the Long Island MP for comments she had previously privately apologised for.

Mrs Butler-Turner’s comments on Saturday were far different from her actions on Sunday and, quite honestly, appear to be disingenuous and unbecoming.

The FNM needs to get its house in order. Noticeably, Mrs Butler-Turner has not yet come out and expressed support for Dr Minnis nor has the doctor publicly sought to embrace her.

I call upon former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham to intervene and settle the party like only he could. If not, the FNM will lose the next election.
