Claude Skelton-Cline lambasts Walwyn as 'unfit for leadership'
Outspoken commentator, former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority and radio personality, Pastor Claude Skelton-Cline, in an exclusive interview with our newsroom said, Mr Walwyn’s political posturing “smacks in the face of respect and a team ethic.”
Have respect Myron Walwyn!
According to the outspoken social commentator, “if there were any doubt in the minds of the people of these Virgin Islands (VI) and specifically in the minds of the NDP supporters, as to who believe they have a right, if not an entitlement to lead the party, it should be crystal clear now.
He told this newsroom Hon Myron Walwyn’s video announcing his bid for the NDP leadership, demonstrates that he is unfit for leadership.
“Unless I missed it, when did Hon. Dr D. Orlando Smith, claim he was stepping down as President of the Party; when did the Premier declare that he will be going into retirement and will not seek to be re-elected; when did the Premier come to the people of the VI and shared with them his intentions as it pertains to the leadership of the country,” Mr Skelton-Cline questioned.
The Bible said
Qualifying his assertive language against the second term Minister, Mr Skelton-Cline pointed to “a biblical and basic principle.”
He said, “If you don’t know how to be under authority, you’re not fit to be in authority…it is the story of David and Saul”.
The former government consultant on the ports project went on to say, “this video represents a pre-emptive strike and crystallizes what has been a not so subtle undermining of authority against the entire leadership of the NDP and a blatant disrespect to the rank and file of those who give birth to this party.”
Walwyn love power-Skelton-Cline
Pastor Skelton-Cline said however, “I’m not surprise as history will show that this is the path of the overly ambitious and zealousness of those whose only interest is power.”
According to Pastor Skelton-Cline, “If this video and Hon. Walwyn’s pursuit for higher office was done once the leadership had declared their hand, I would have no problem or reason for pause but the fact that it has come preemptively, shows what has been transpiring for the past eight years.”
The man of the cloth went on to say that, “people of the Virgin Islands, let us be clear eyed and prayerful, don’t let the NDP’s confusion and divisive fight become ours, at some point, the business and future of our Territory must not be reduced to party politics.”
Skelton-Cline—host of the weekly radio show Honesty Speaking—said,“we are at a point in our history, where we need women and men who sincerely cares and desires to serve and listen to the people.”

. The governor was not "elected" but "selected" . Chose your battles carefully.
Too many question marks ????? Also, his arrogance and obnoxious demeanour is a major turn off.
Heeeeeell to the NO!
The only leader I see is the Hon Dr. Smith. Humidity and caring. I don't know how he handle see his country destroyed by the storm.
This honorable leader went through the storm had damages just like us still not living at home. Working hard to get BVI back on it fee.
Please of the BVI turn to God. If we continue like this we will be facing another storm.
Pastors, It is time to preach the uncompromising word of God. A lot of us are in destress not because of the government because we are in perilous time. God is coming soon. Don't let us go to hell there is a wonderful place to gain after all this suffering on earth.
Just take a lot outside and on the sea.
Please I beg you.
Thank you!
