Resolution brought to HoA for removal of Hon Andrew A. Fahie from Premier's post
In a bombshell move moments ago today, Thursday, May 5, 2022, Acting Premier Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) brought a motion to the House of Assembly (HoA) for the removal of Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) as Premier.
The motion is for Members to move a motion of no confidence in the current Premier.
It appears that the Premier has refused to resign, hence the need for a resolution.
The Premier is facing charges in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida of drug trafficking and money laundering.
More details will follow.

Very shameful and certainly nothing personal against fahie
none of us expect these chains of every serious events by our premier,,,,he was actively hand in hand with such high level of criminal conduct
Get off the blogs from talking PISS!!!!
This DISHONOURABLE MAN WHO WAS PREMIER OF THIS COUNTRY FAILED THIS COUNTRY IN EVERY WAY BY ALLOWING COCAINE AND GUNS INTO THE TERRITORY ALL WHILE PIGGYBACKING ON GOD'S GOOD NAME!!!!!!!!
NO-ONE ABSOLUTELY NO-ONE INCLUDING SOWANDE WANTS TO BE THE CROOKED MAN TO THE CORE THE DISGRACED PREMIER HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE TO US!!!!!
What exactly did you expect to happen in a situation like this? Were you of the mindset that Andrew will come back whenever and resume his role as Premier? Please tell me that is not true...we as a people have not fallen that far have we? I weep for our people.
Not now he doesn’t judge.
Which is btw the reason they “ rushed “ it through.
Who do you think wrote this script? Fahie willingly and happily dove right in, head first, when the Maynards approached him. There was no arm twisting - ZERO - Nada - None. Fahie feathered his own nest, now he gets to sleep in it. We, the people of the BVI , owe him nothing.
Appointment of Ministers, under the BVI Constitution:[The Premier shall be appointed by the Governor] based on a majority of elected members voting to ask the Governor to elect that person as Premier.
Oath of allegiance:-
"I Andrew Fahie.do swear that I will be be [faithful] and bear true [allegiance] to [Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second], Her Heirs and Successors, according to law. So help me God"...
Oath for due execution of office:-
"I Andrew Fahie.do swear that I will well and truly serve Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second AND the people of the Virgin Islands in the office of [PREMIER].So help me God.
So the Premier is in MIAMI FLORIDA USA.in his [under cover good time with US-DEA] and the Governor must wait for him to return?
The Premier,[shall] be DISMISSED!!
Be careful Showada be careful
I'm still shaking my head. What pains me is that so many of our young boys, young fathers dying leave their young children, and he got the nerve to say that he has a friend who bringing in the guns. Then after the murders he got the balls to say that the BVI is no place for that behaviour.
Perfectly said…How many young men gone and this man still talking about letting a bad batch in, he have gun running friend etc. The youths tasked with securing the bad batch will either be killed or locked up.
He’s a real POS!!!
no more premier
once these recent local developments reach USA Judicial systems we will see what happens in the trial
