‘Stop abusing Hon Fraser! – Edmund G. Maduro tells VIP constituents
He was at the time speaking in an exclusive interview with this news site yesterday August 16, 2015.
"Honourable Fraser is a man who has stood up for a number of issues which I praise him for," he said.
"I did not like the move that Mr Fahie made after the elections," he said, referring to the efforts First District Representative Honourable Andrew A. Fahie made to try to wrest the Leader of the Opposition position from Honourable Fraser.
"In fact I spoke out against it. I said the Governor should not be asking any questions. ..he should know that it was Mr Fraser who should be Leader of the Opposition," he said.
"He took a month to do that which shows ignorance...either ignorance or corruption," he said, in reference to the month and a day Governor John S. Duncan OBE took to come up with his decision which he eventually made in favour of Honourable Fraser to be the Leader of the Opposition.
Several of the VIP’s losing candidates had written to Governor Duncan endorsing Hon Fahie to be the Opposition Leader.
There were also reports that some candidates blamed Hon Fraser for their loss at the elections and wanted him out as Chairman.
"Stop abusing the man. We all have our weaknesses and our strengths...none of us is perfect," he said.
He added that Honourable Fraser has stood up when the time came for him to stand up and has done so more than others in his party who were trying to throw him out. "I respect the man," he said.
The positions of Chairman, President, Treasurer and others become vacant and eligible to be filled come September 2, 2015 when the VIP's internal elections are held at Maria’s By the Sea. It is yet unclear whether Honourable Fraser will face the VIP membership to contest the position of Chairman as he has not so stated, choosing to remain silent on the issue.
