PNM candidate for Tobago West Shamfa Cudjoe-Lewis said she and Tobago East candidate Ayanna Webster-Roy were not "two little girls" sitting silently in cabinet but rather had lobbied for many of the big projects now materialising including the $2.1 billion new terminal of the ANR Robinson Airport and so deserved to be voted back into office of election day, April 28.

She was addressing the PNM's Big Red Rally in Tobago on April 6, also due to be addressed by Prime Minister Stuart Young and former PM Dr Keith Rowley.

"We understand the seriousness of the assignment," she said, promising governance that was caring, competent and compassionate.
