Remarks Honorable Dr. Hubert Minnis Leader of the Free National Movement at the South Eleuthera on Saturday, April 29, 2017:

FNMs FNMs!!!

DEEP CREEK AND ROCK SOUND, ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?

GREEN CASTLE AND TARPUM BAY ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE? GOVERNOR’S HARBOUR AND PALMETTO POINT ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?

I thank the Almighty God for all His blessings on our country and acknowledge His influence on my life. I encourage everyone to pray and work for a peaceful election.

Brothers and Sisters, Central and South Eleuthera;

Yesterday, we visited SPANISH WELLS, and I can report that we are taking two in ELEUTHERA!!! We are delivering twins in Eleuthera!! Eleuthera is all red!!!

Central and South Eleuthera,

I want you to be a part of this RED TSUNAMI moving all across our nation. As I travel our beautiful Bahamaland, New Providence is RED; Grand Bahama is RED; Bimini and Abaco are RED; Exuma, Cat Island, MICAL, and YES, Eleuthera are all RED!!! RED!!! RED!!!!

LET ME TELL YOU, we now have the results from the formal report on the state of the general election. The report is based on information from every constituency with specific numbers. I formally report to you that the FREE NATIONAL MOVEMENT will form the next government of The Bahamas.

FNMS, Bahamians everywhere;

The PLP followed us to RM Bailey Park this week and I am told that their rally couldn’t even fill the park.  We had a rally on Arawak Cay, they had a rally at Arawak Cay. We had a rally on RM Bailey, they had a rally on RM Bailey.

Months ago we promised the police that we would honour the court ruling and pay them their overtime payment.  Now the PLP is making a promise to pay on May 29…after election. Another promise!! They are followers not leaders.  For certain they cannot follow us in Parliament after the election.

I wish to reassure our law enforcement agencies that under my administration their health insurance is safe. You cannot have an Acting Commodore for almost three years in the Defence Force.  Your FNM Government will immediately fix this.  We will also ensure timely promotions on the Defence Force and review the retirement age for enlisted personnel.

DO NOT BE MOVED.  I AM REMINDED OF THE STORY IN 2 KINGS. ELISHA’S SERVANT SAW AN ARMY AND ASKED WHAT SHOULD THEY DO.  ELISHA ANSWERED, “Do not fear.....HE TOLD HIM DO NOT FEAR....... for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

FNMS, I PRAY YOU COULD SEE WHAT I SEE. I SEE AN ARMY OF BAHAMIANS IN A SEA OF RED. I SEE AN ARMY OF BAHAMIANS, WHO WANT WHAT WE WANT. THEY WANT CHANGE.

I SEE A HOST OF PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THIS ISLAND AND ALL ACROSS THIS NATION WHO ARE READY FOR CHANGE. FNMS, I SEE A VICTORY….I SEE A VICTORY!!!

Do not be fooled by the PLP. We must not allow the PLP to get their hands on another dollar of our VAT Money!! Perry Gladstone Christie’s has presided over the most corrupt; the most incompetent; the most victimizing; the most out of control; and the most malicious government since independence. Christie’s season is finished!! We need a prime minister who can actually stay awake. Christie is literally falling asleep on the job.

Fellow Bahamians:

Unlike the PLP, I am not going to promise things my government cannot deliver. Unlike Christie, I will hold my ministers responsible. Jerome Fitzgerald blatantly went about begging for contracts at Baha Mar in clear violation of cabinet rules of conduct and standards.  Jerome should have been fired.  If they win he will put Jerome right back in the cabinet so he can beg someone else for contracts.

FNMS, Bahamians everywhere!!!

In the FNM we are different. We are the party of good governance and public service. YES, SERVICE, this is what TRUE leadership is all about.  Serving the people will be priority. COME MAY 10TH FINALLY IT WILL BE THE PEOPLES TIME!!!!

 

My Brothers and Sisters,

All Family Islands can be assured that the FNM believes in empowering the people. We have committed to reforming and modernizing local government. We will also amend existing legislation and policies to enhance and increase the authority of Family Island Local Government. It is crucial that you have the ability to make decisions for your own economic growth.  Who better to make decisions for Eleuthera than Eleutherians?

My brothers and sisters,

When we talk about empowering our family islands; we will do more than just lip service. The PLP are talkers but we are doers!! A proportionate amount of resources collected from your island should remain here for your islands development. And each island will be encouraged to form its own economic council to guide and drive your own economic future.

My brother and sisters;

A new FNM government will work hard to bring investment, jobs and more economic opportunity. I want, and I know you want, more opportunities that will encourage your young people to remain home and allow those who have left to return home.

Central and South Eleuthera;

We are building a new Bahamas.  Many of you are deeply concerned about healthcare on your island. Rest assured that our plans include the refurbishment of your clinic. Issues regarding proper equipment, adequate staff, and fulfilling pharmaceutical needs will all be addressed.  As a doctor, and as the former Minister of Health, your health care needs will be front and center in my government.

BECAUSE IT’S THE PEOPLE’S TIME NOW!!!

In Education,

All of your students who qualify will be allowed to attend the University of The Bahamas free of charge. They will also be assisted with accommodations and provided with a monthly stipend to assist with living costs.
IT’S THE PEOPLE’S TIME NOW!!!

 

All over Central and South Eleuthera, the roads, docks, and other pieces of government infrastructure have either not been completed or have fallen into a state of complete disrepair. You deserve your recreational center and a new dock in Governor’s harbor.

 

Young People of South Eleuthera;  
one of my key initiatives will be a program for young Bahamians, like young people in Eleuthera who want to become entrepreneurs and business people.  Christie and the PLP have spent millions on the Trinidad like Carnival.  I want to take those millions spent on Carnival in Nassau, and invest those funds to empower a new generation of young entrepreneurs.  We will launch a major youth entrepreneurship program that will help to develop the skills of thousands of young entrepreneurs.

LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR FOR ALL TO HEAR, WE WILL BRING RELIEF DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE!!!!

FNMs!!!

We not only have a good team we have the best change team to lead our Bahamas. Central and South Eleuthera, you nominated Stephen Hank Johnson. Hank is an accomplished community leader with 19 years of experience in Local Government. He was Chairman for South and Central Eleuthera. He’s a motivator and inspires other people to action. Hank is committed to preserving and showcasing the cultural heritage of Eleuthera. He helped to acquire the community's first fire truck. Hank was Chief Counselor for Eleuthera from 1998 to 2017.  A man of faith and good works, Hank has performed considerable community service.
 
FNMs, South Eleuthera:
 I need Hank Johnson in Parliament to work on behalf of the people of South Eleuthera.

Eleuthera, WHO YOU VOTING FOR????

ELEUTHERA, WHO YOU VOTING FOR??

FNMs ARE YOU READY!!!?
 

Brothers and Sisters:

Change is coming to The Bahamas. On behalf of the FNM and our candidates I ask for your support.  The long national nightmare is coming to an end.

Thank you and God bless you and God Bless the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
