Jagdeo supports Ali’s position on Exxon contract

The views expressed by the PPP/C’s presidential candidate Dr Irfaan Ali on how the party intends to deal with current oil & gas contracts should the party win the upcoming General and Regional Elections,  reflects the party’s position and should not be disputed, General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo says.

“Irfaan has made it clear how the PPP/C intends to move forward…he made a post following the Reuters story and what he says is the party’s position,” Jagdeo told the Stabroek News when contacted.

On the sidelines of a January 18th campaign rally at Anna Regina in Essequibo, Region Three, Reuters said that Ali informed that an Ali-led PPP/C government would “keep the Exxon contract intact” but review and push for renegotiation of others signed after 2015.
