PNM stal­wart Fer­di­nand “Fer­die” Fer­reira has died.

Fer­reira, re­gard­ed as one of the par­ty’s most en­dur­ing voic­es and a well-known po­lit­i­cal com­men­ta­tor, was re­mem­bered to­day by Port of Spain North, St Ann’s West MP Stu­art Young, who de­scribed him as “a PNM gi­ant and a pa­tri­ot”.

In a so­cial me­dia post, Young said Fer­reira, fond­ly known as “Fer­die”, was “a foun­tain of knowl­edge and his­to­ry”. He thanked Fer­reira for “all that you con­tributed to the de­vel­op­ment of our coun­try and the PNM”.
