‘NDP elected members have oversized egos-Skelton-Cline
The social commentator shared his views with listeners tuned to the show on Tuesday, June 19, 2018, aired on ZBVI 780 AM.
His guest at the time was senior pastor of the Cane Garden Bay Baptist Church, Reverend, Dr Melvin A. Turnbull Senior.
Skelton-Cline—the former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority, was at the time acknowledging the service of outgoing Premier, Dr Smith, who only recently announced, he will “not contest nor accept any nomination in his NDP upcoming convention”.
Thanks for your service
Honestly Speaking’s Skelton-Cline used the occasion to express appreciation to the Premier for his 20 years of elected public service—and sacrifice.
The radio host also gave particular praises for “the splendid service, he (Dr Smith) has rendered in his medical practice, down through the years” He noted.
Skelton-Cline, himself a man of the cloth, has been an open advocate for a leadership change in ruling NDP for over two years now and had contested in 2011 for a seat in the second district on an NDP slate.
He said during his radio broadcast, “the fact of the matter is, the Premier has served the Territory to the best of his capacity, he placed his neck on the line for the benefit of the Territory and many persons can talk what they may, but he (Dr. Smith) sacrifice and has made his contribution and for that we should say ‘Thank You’ he added.
Skelton-Cline, a harsh critic of Dr Smith and his leadership style, had sued the NDP Government over the non-renewal of contract as the BVI Ports Authority’s Managing Director, and now awaits a court decision.
