PNM To­ba­go West can­di­date Sham­fa Cud­joe-Lewis says TPP’s Joel “Nuttsy” Samp­son has not spo­ken a sin­gle word to vot­ers on his own through­out the cam­paign—and she’s dar­ing him to put down the writ­ten speech­es and face To­ba­go.

“Every night he talk­ing from a plat­form and read­ing one word at a time from a speech his po­lit­i­cal leader give him. He didn’t do any re­search. But tonight was the night for him to come for­ward and speak—no duck­ing, no hid­ing, no bob­bing, no weav­ing. No Com­fort. Ap­pear Nuttsy, ap­pear and meet me,” she said.

She is­sued the chal­lenge af­ter Samp­son failed to at­tend the To­ba­go Chan­nel 5 de­bate on Tues­day night with the eight oth­er To­ba­go West con­tenders.
