  1. It is sad when a party and a leader can only advance on the spirit of a leader who left this life over two decades ago.
    The present leader who had been at the helm for over a decade cannot advance on his track record.
    Will the man who said if the media was free the man whose memory is being honored today would have long been in the sudlst bin of history be seating at the front?
    Let me identify him.
    Will Dr Mansour who had changed his DNA be sitting in the front seat of incarnation ceremony?
    People who are enjoying theor fingernails for dinner are there to worship the memories of a man who kept them in abject poverty during his lifetime.
    When will Antiguans who boasts of being smart be educated??????

  2. Tribute to visionary leadership. Ceremonies across the country highlight Bird’s contributions to labour rights, education access, and national development—hallmarks of his decades of public service.
