'VIP has the Lucky 13' - Julian Willock
Mr Willock was at the time speaking at the launch of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) Candidate Ms Arlene L. Smith-Thompson when he announced to an excited crowd in Sea Cows Bay on Saturday, February 2, 2019, that he “is still a VIP supporter and member,” and that the Caribbean is excited to see Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) becoming premier.
I am still VIP - Willock
“I have not left the VIP because I lost an internal election,” he told those gathered at the rally. Mr Willock had previously failed to make the VIP’s At-Large slate in a December 1, 2018, internal elections.
He further said that as a VIP member he “supports and endorsed Dr Arlene Smith Thompson in district 3,” and told the energetic crowd of over a 150 persons that “it makes no sense to elect her opponent to sit in the Opposition for another 4 years, knowing how the National Democratic Party 1 (NDP1) has victimised and discriminated against districts 1, 3 and 2… the people of district 3 has suffered long enough” he noted.
Mr Willock also praised the VIP team and called them “the lucky 13.” He said it was a team that can represent the Territory “anywhere.”
Willock Lambasts PVIM
He noted that others are claiming they have the best group, however, “one team’s only contribution is an expert in horse race while another claimed to have the best Minister of Finance, however, he was fired after his first 4 years [2003-2007] in that position… out they voted him.”
In making fun, he noted that on the other side there is one who “cannot even run a little school that is on a shift system, meaning all the students are not there at once”, while another is “playing with words over what is an Audit and an Investigation.”
The former Director of the Water and Sewerage Department noted that “he is under investigation, therefore, we cannot risk putting him back in office.”
Mr Willock further spoke to a recent trip he made down the island and while in a discussion with a Prime Minister who briefed him about his shuttle diplomacy and the issues over the crisis in Venezuela and the Caribbean Community’s role.
Fahie for Premier
He said, “at that moment I thought on my country and who is best positioned to represent the BVI… the leaders of the Caribbean are ecstatic and excited about Hon Andrew A. Fahie becoming the next Premier because they see BVI Leaders when a VIP government is in power, as they attend OECS and CARICOM Meetings,” Mr Willock said to thunderous applause and music.
Mr Willock closed is 6 minutes pep speech by saying, “the people of the country need a change and the “lucky 13 is the best group to take the country in one direction forward.”
Mrs Smith-Thompson faces two other opponents for the D3 seat. They are Hon Julian Fraser RA of the Progressives United (PU) and Arron F. Parillon of NDP1.
