    Shermain, is this your opinion that this is welcome and welcome by who? Where is the evidence of this being welcome and where is the evidence of his dedication? This is just the promotion of a comrade. Shermain, your opinion is not news. Stick to reporting the news and not your opinion. Don’t become a part of the ABLP PR, your bio says you are better than that. Where there is no news, don’t make it up. STOP THE KISSING UP!
