PNM stalwart Ferdinand "Ferdie" Ferreira, a former close adviser of the country's first prime minister Dr Eric Williams, has been described as a man for the people who contributed to the development of TT, following his death on December 11 at age 93.

He was remembered by people on both sides of the aisle as someone who was passionate about the development of TT.

In a post on her Facebook page, PNM political leader and Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles said, "As we mourn the passing of Ferdinand ‘Ferdie’ Ferreira, we take solace in knowing that a life lived in service, integrity and devotion is honoured by God Himself. Ferdie is now at rest, free from the cares of this world and embraced by the everlasting peace of our Heavenly Father."
