‘Our District Rep refused to stay with us after hurricanes’- Albert L. Stevens
The show’s host is overseas and had pre-recoded the episode from February 4, 2018, according to the show’s public relations and marketing officer Mr Kareem-Nelson Hull. However, the show will air in its entirety later today from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on radio station ZBVI 780 AM.
The topic of the show relates to the sister islands of Virgin Gorda, Jost van Dyke and Anegada and how the residents are treated by the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) before and after the Hurricanes of 2017.
Power house panel from sister islands
The show is made of a three member panel, consisting Jerry D. Vanterpool, a businessman, political activist and water plant operator from Anegada, Albert L. Stevens aka ‘Pop’ another businessman, political activist and social network commentator and Jost van Dyke resident, businessman and outspoken voice for that island, Mr Gregory A. Callwood.
In the second clip released of the pre-recording by Mr Nelson-Hull, it shows Virgin Gorda resident Mr Stevens accusing the Ninth District Representative Dr The Honourable Hubert R. O’Neal of not wanting to stay on Virgin Gorda following the hurricanes, even though he was reportedly offered complimentary accommodation.
Where is Dr O’Neal? Where does he live?
Mr Stevens alleged that houses belonging to expatiates that were not damaged were offered to Dr O’Neal to stay on Virgin Gorda in September following the hurricanes. However, according to Mr. Stevens, his Representative allegedly “refused” the offer to be with his people.
The political and social activist also said that his Representative does not live on Virgin Gorda and “…he should be in our district a few days out of the week even, if he does not live there… we should be able to come to his office and say hey this is what’s going on, this is what we need done, but that does not happen at all...” according to what he told the host, Mr Skelton-Cline.
Meanwhile, the allegations were put to Dr O'Neal; however, he did not provide a response to them up to the time of publication.

THANK YOU!! These people have their own personal gripes and pretending to give a s#!t about the Territory.
Bertie has his faults and made some missteps but I don't think we should crucify the man. Give him a chance to correct his mistake the same way we gave Ralph chance after chance to do the same thing over and over again.
Each man for himself and God for us all - that is the underlying message in the BVI nowadays.
So nobody knew where Hubert lived all this time and for the last 20 years he has been getting over 500 votes in the 9th?? This is such f#@%$ng bullshit! LOL!
He did not make enough happen for VG although he definitely had the power to. The normal Virgin Gordian can't buy a piece of land from Ralph because of the high cost. So many of our people have to travel to Tortola to find employment. Ralph wasn't all bad but he wasn't the savior that some people portray him to be. Given the power that Ralph had VG should have been far better off than it is. I'm not a big fan of his but Bertie can't and shouldn't be blamed for all VG's woes.
Hunert yes,needs to be more tough with his camp the guys need to be more supportive of him.Hubert get up and kick some%=÷×€ cause ur camp is not 100%with u.
