With just days to go be­fore the gen­er­al elec­tion, Pro­gres­sive De­mo­c­ra­t­ic Pa­tri­ots (PDP) leader Wat­son Duke has launched a scathing re­sponse to To­ba­go Peo­ple’s Par­ty leader Far­ley Au­gus­tine, ac­cus­ing him of ar­ro­gance, be­tray­al, and dis­re­spect.

Duke’s re­marks fol­low Au­gus­tine’s de­c­la­ra­tion dur­ing a cam­paign meet­ing in Cas­tara that Duke’s po­lit­i­cal ca­reer is al­ready “dead” and will be “buried” on April 28.

In a post this morn­ing, Duke re­mind­ed To­bag­o­ni­ans that he was the one who gave Au­gus­tine his start in pol­i­tics, open­ing the door for him to be­come an As­sem­bly­man and Chief Sec­re­tary.
