Nagamootoo ‘jumped ship’ over top spot

Outgoing President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said Moses Nagamootoo “jumped ship” after losing his bid to lead the PPP/C to the polls and he told supporters that the former ruling party member did not deserve their respect.

Nagamootoo later dismissed Jagdeo’s criticisms, while adding that instead of attacking him, Jagdeo and his government ought to concentrate on making life better for all Guyanese. “I would not dignify anything Jagdeo says. He is not in my class,”
