Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Aubrey Norton and Vice President, Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo are in a battle of words over relations.
Jagdeo, on Sunday, at the late President Dr. Cheddi Jagan memorial event made a claim that Norton’s brother has joined the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), but Norton said that is not true.
Norton, in a terse statement, said it is “totally untrue’ a brother of his has joined the PPP/C. He called Jagdeo a liar and accused him of doing so repeatedly.
In a Facebook post on the PPP/C’s page there is a statement by a Keith Ferrier, alleging Norton is his brother. Norton has denied sharing such lineage and stated the man is of disreputable character.
His full statement follows:
JAGDEO SHOULD NOT ASSOCIATE ME AND MY FAMILY WITH THE ALLEGED CRIMINALS HE HAS SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH
I was informed that the liar Bharrat Roseann Jagdeo has lied again. He told a PPP gathering at Babu John that I, Aubrey Norton have a brother that joined the PPP. This is totally untrue. The man he referred to is not my brother.
In fact, Jagdeo should be ashamed to welcome a man of his ilk into the PPP who the very PPP had issued a wanted bulletin for alleging that he burnt the Ministry of Health and committed other crimes.
The PPP continues to engage shady characters who they can control because those persons have allegations of them committing crimes made against them and they need the protection of the Criminal PPP government. Keith Ferrier is neither my mother’s or my father’s child. Jagdeo must stop lying.
Keith Ferrier and Bharat Jagdeo are birds of a feather flocked together
