Ogunseye asks APNU+AFC supporters to give coalition another chance

Tacuma Ogunseye

Acknowledging that the APNU+AFC coalition government has made mistakes, Working People’s Alliance (WPA) Executive Member Tacuma Ogunseye on Friday night urged forgiveness and pleaded with supporters to vote at the March 2 general and regional elections. 

“Every vote is important,” said Ogunseye, emphasising that the coalition “cannot afford to lose” the elections. He was the main speaker at an APNU+AFC coalition rally at Back Circle, East Ruimveldt, Georgetown. The WPA is a member of APNU.

According to Ogunseye, the coalition’s leadership recognises that there are supporters who need “massaging” as they perhaps became disenchanted at what they may view as the failure of the APNU+AFC administration to address the areas they see as priorities. To this, he said that the coalition government is not a perfect one, it has made mistakes, and must acknowledge that all of the expectations of their supporters were not addressed.
