An open letter to President David Arthur Granger

Dear Comrade President,

On behalf of the National Directorate of Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP), our members and supporters, I offer you, and the APNU+AFC coalition, heartfelt congratulations on your victory and your ascendency to the highest office in our homeland.

OVP looks forward to working with you and your government in order to achieve the best for our people and country. I can assure you of our support for policies and programmes that will unite our people and advance the well-being of all, especially the majority – the poor and neglected sectors of our society.

As patriots and nationalists, we put Guyana and its people before partisan interests. Political parties come and go but the nation lives on. I have been active in politics, both nationally and internationally, since my teens, and I have realized, as I am sure you have, that politics is a very complex phenomenon. I know that where you now stand requires a great number of compromises.

Knowing you personally and publicly, assures me that you are a man of the highest integrity and that you genuinely wish to take this nation forward on every level. Nelson Mandela certainly shared those same qualities, however, if we look at South Africa today we feel a real sense of grief to see a liberation movement like the ANC in the position they find themselves in. Many are still asking the question, how did they get there? If you understand the nature of neo-colonialism, as explained by the great African revolutionary leader, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, and the neo-liberal arrangement that accompanies it in 2015, then the answer becomes clear.

We urge you and your government to defend the sovereignty and independence of Guyana and assert your right, OUR RIGHT, to adopt policies and programs that will truly lift our people out of under-development and grinding poverty. I can assure you that OVP will stand with you, and defend the courageous decisions that you will be forced to make, in order to realize a truly independent, just and prosperous society. The victory of the people is inevitable!

In Unity and Struggle,
Gerald A. Perreira
Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP)
