PDP political leader Watson Duke has confirmed his support for Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, leader of the Tobago People’s Party (TPP), ahead of the January 12 Tobago House of Assembly elections.
Speaking at a news conference at the PDP headquarters at Port Mall this morning, Duke acknowledged what he described as Augustine’s shortcomings but emphasised the importance of family and solidarity.
“Because at the end of the day, family is family,” Duke said. “As bad as Farley is, doesn’t answer your phone sometimes, tell you one thing and do the next thing sometimes, he’s still family. We have to stick together until we get it right. So I’ve said to him when he called me recently, I said, boy, look, I’m here. (0:42) Let me sleep on it.I slept on it. I rolled on it, I prayed on it. But I said, you cannot abandon family under no circumstances. So I’m here to tell the public today that Farley has my support.”
