(Kaieteur News) – The question has been put to me in no uncertain manner: should President Ali resign? It’s my sabbath, so the answer will have to wait. Also, let this much be said in the open-air: whatever the recommendations I offer my president, it would be for his ears only. Having said that, there’s still my duty to the Guyanese people. When the people ask questions, the people must get answers.

No one, neither man nor woman, should stick around when his name has become mud. When there’s no basis, the claims are unfounded, then he must take the fight to the enemy. Stick around and stick it to the wackos and sickos. I did. Pres Ali has a lot of land. Means that there’s plenty mud for him to wade through when it rains. Rocky ground when the heat arrives, the slush freezes. Where could this lead: heaven or hell. Moreover, Pres Ali has a ton of sheep, cows by the cargo plane, and shrimp by the seine full. It’s a wonderful life when a man has a sweet weekend resort to retreat to, and listen to the grass grow. But all those flocks of richly fed fowls and ducks, cows and sheep, tells me that Pres Ali has a considerable amount of manure to navigate around. He may do so successfully. But the odors, Mr. President. Odors of that kind have a habit of clinging stubbornly. Like secondhand cigarette smoke, that is also hazardous to health. Including politicos. Even presidents don’t have the proper level of immunity in such situations.
