‘Mitch you got to make the switch’- Gregory A. Callwood
There; however, seems to be a new slogan out for the Second District Representative, who had a fallout with his Premier and Minister of Finance Dr The Honourable D. Orlando Smith (AL) in December over Cane Garden Bay being neglected by the National Democratic Party (NDP) Government following the hurricanes of September 2017.
Minister for Education and Culture Hon Walwyn had also lambasted Hon Turnbull for criticising the Premier publicly.
Hon Turnbull had said he was no little boy and that he would continue to represent the interest of his constituents.
Some have even been speculating that Hon Turnbull may be leaving the NDP.
And, according to popular Jost van Dyke resident and businessman, Gregory A. Callwood, Hon Turnbull may now indeed have to make the switch, although he did not say to what.
“We made the switch to Mitch, Mitch you got to make the switch,” Mr Callwood, the son of the famous Jost van Dyke (JvD) icon and resident, Philliciano Callwood MBE aka ‘Foxy’, said on the pre-recorded radio show, Honestly Speaking with Claude O. Skelton-Cline, on ZBVI 780 AM on February 6, 2018.
The panel of guests were three residents from the sister islands of Anegada, Jost van Dyke and Virgin Gorda.
Jerry D. Vanterpool, a businessman, political activist and water plant operator from Anegada, and Albert L. Stevens aka ‘Pop’ another businessman, political activist and social network commentator, were the other guests.
The topic mainly focused on the post Hurricane issues and how the sister islands are treated by the National Democratic Party Government (NDP).
All three men were of the opinion that the sister islands were abandoned by the elected Government following the two category 5 hurricanes.
The Governor is a good man
According to Mr Vanterpool, the people of Anegada were extremely grateful to Governor Augustus J. U. Jaspert, who met with the residents there and listened to their concerns when Members of Government were nowhere to be seen.
“I would like to say personally, thanks to our Governor. It was the first time in history our governor ever sit with the people in Anegada and hear their views. That need to go down in history and also, thanks to the Puerto Ricans that brought us food when our Government was of no use to us.”
Mr Callwood also had similar sentiments about Governor Jaspert.
“Like Mr Vanterpool said, I have to say thank you to that Governor. He really reached out to the Sister Islands. He came over to Jost van Dyke, he looked at the devastation, he patted me on the back, he said ‘Callwood I am going to get it up’. In no time we had electricity back. The Governor is a good man. And to Mitch, keep it up. We made the switch to Mitch, Mitch you got to make the switch.”
Mr Stevens, on the other hand, expressed gratitude to the many expatriates who responded to the needs of the community following the hurricanes.
“I want to say thanks to all the expats that actually stepped up to the plate to help us in our biggest time of crisis. When there was absolutely no Government response. All the ones that you don’t hear about, thank you, thank you.”
