Nassau, Bahamas - Sidney Collie, Chairman of the 2016 Free National Movement’s National Convention, issued the following statement of the second night of the 2016 FNM National Convention:

“For four and a half long years Bahamians have suffered through a series of empty rhetoric and broken promises. Failure after failure has piled up leaving families and workers struggling to get by, left to wonder if this PLP Government cares about them at all. The second night of our convention will prove that the Bahamian people truly do matter – because as our theme for the evening is, ‘Because The Country Matters’.

“Baha Mar still sits vacant; an empty hulking testament to the PLP’s many broken promises – this one being their promise of five-thousand good paying jobs. The Bahamian people suffer the effects of crime every day, under this PLP Government murder and sexual assaults have become commonplace. These past four years we have also seen this PLP Government running rampant with corruption, focusing on enriching themselves at the people’s expense.”

“Tonight we will hear about the ramifications of the PLP’s empty rhetoric and broken promises from the following speakers: Mr. Lincoln Deal Jr.; Ms. Shonel Ferguson, FNM Fox Hill Candidate; Mr. Don Saunders, FNM Tall Pines Candidate; Mr. Howard Johnson, FNM South Beach Candidate; Mr. Desmond Bannister, FNM Carmichael Candidate; Mr. Richard Lightbourn, M.P.; Ms. Jasmin Turner-Dareus; Hon. Loretta Butler-Turner, M.P.; Hon. Peter Turnquest, M.P.”

“The Bahamian people are clearly ready for change. For real leadership. For transparency and accountability in government. They are tired of hearing the constant empty rhetoric and broken promises from this PLP Government. The FNM is ready to take steps to bring about the real leadership that the Bahamian people deserve.”
