Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party Celebrates Sir Robin Yearwood’s 80th Birthday, Honoring Five Decades of Public Service

The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) today celebrated a significant milestone, marking the 80th birthday of Sir Robin Yearwood, KGCN. Sir Robin, a venerable figure in the nation’s political landscape, has been a cornerstone of the country’s governance and development for nearly five decades.

Sir Robin Yearwood first entered the political arena in 1976 when he was elected to Parliament, embarking on a journey that would see him become one of Antigua and Barbuda’s most enduring public servants. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Sir Robin has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the people of Antigua and Barbuda, leaving an indelible legacy of service and leadership.

The ABLP, in a heartfelt statement, praised Sir Robin for his exemplary dedication, noting that his contributions have been instrumental in shaping both the party and the nation. “As a stalwart member of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party, you have exemplified the values of hard work, integrity, and public service,” the statement read. The party highlighted his role in upholding the principles that have guided the ABLP and his profound influence on the political and social fabric of the country.

Sir Robin’s career has been marked by his ability to lead with wisdom and integrity, qualities that have earned him respect across the political spectrum. As Minister of Public Utilities, Civil Aviation, Transportation, and Energy, his tenure has seen significant advancements in national infrastructure and public services, contributing to the nation’s progress and development.

The ABLP’s tribute emphasized not only Sir Robin’s professional achievements but also the personal qualities that have endeared him to colleagues and constituents alike. “On this special day, we not only celebrate your 80 years of life but also your immeasurable contributions to Antigua and Barbuda. Your legacy of service continues to inspire us all.”

The party extended warm wishes to Sir Robin on his milestone birthday, expressing their hope that he continues to enjoy good health, happiness, and fulfillment in the years to come. “Happy 80th Birthday, Sir Robin!

  5. Thank you Sir Robin, you have fought a good fight, you have finish yr course, now you should enjoy yr twighlight years having fun with yr family & friends.

  6. Integrity. Commitment. Public service. Principles. Etcetera. Words of praise and commendation. A leading light of the ABLP for decades. Before 1976 you worked as a bookkeeper in a hotel. Along the way you kept a few dozen free roaming goats. Between 1976 and today, your 80th birthday, your only official income has been the salary you earned as a minister in the ablp administrations. Yet, according to former minister Lennox Weston, speaking in parliament, you are part owner of 13 hotels in Antigua and across the Caribbean. You own prestige properties in the UK. The UK Courts ordered you to pay your divorced wife alimony in the amount of £14 million. And you paid. Yes, Sir. You have done very well indeed. For yourself. A great example you have been for your comrades. How well you have upheld the “principles of the party”. Principles of self enrichment, of politics as bluff and deceit, of doing nothing to really develop the poor people of St Philip North while facilitating your elite friends to build their multimillion dollar mansions at Emerald Cove and Savanna (the only parts of your constituency to have physically improved since 1976). Yes, Sir, you had a great run! And your party, the Mother of Corruption and Misgovernment in the Caribbean, has awarded you all the honours your comrade leaders expect to be likewise awarded after they too have bamboozled and ruined the people and nation they will have misled and pauperized all the days of their long tenure in government. So go away, Sir! You should have gone long ago. Pity the poor people who kept you there so long are too backward and foolish to see you for who and what you truly are.

  7. Time to retire granny #2!
    Ps..take granny #1(speaker of thy house)
    With you.
