Another Resignation Could Hit UPP

By

Published
Dr. Philmore Benjamin

The United Progressive Party could experience another setback as Dr. Philmore Benjamin is expected to leave the party, according to well-placed sources.

Calls to Dr Benjamin went unanswered, but sources close to the party said Benjamin made his intentions known recently.

Recently, a respected member of the UPP, Dr. Edmond Mansoor, left the party because he expressed dissatisfaction with its leadership.

The UPP has seen a string of resignations in the past few months, indicating a challenging period for the party.

    Stop the hemorrhage, UPP! Get rid of the man-john, toss out those useless dumbells like Serpent, Shuggy, Pringle, distance yourself from the impotent noise makers – rhe Quinn sisters, Defreitas, Alister (is he still alive?) and remove the double-murderer as deputy leader(!!!) of your party, Then and only then might you have a 5% chance of regaining governance of this fair land. Begging Joanne Massiah to return to take over the leadership of the party with Richard Lewis as her Deputy, and Shawn Nicholas as a 2nd Runner-up might give THE UPP a 20% chance at governance, up from the current 1% they now have. Time to face the truth.
