Former PM Spencer endorses UPP’s Redeem Team as the Answer to the Country’s Crisis and Calls for Removal of ALP

Former Prime Minister of Antigua & Barbuda Baldwin Spencer (2004-2014)

Dr. Baldwin Spencer – the former Prime Minister and Past Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP) –

joined a chorus of UPP Candidates on Thursday night, November 17, calling for the removal of the Antigua Labour Party Government.

Spencer was speaking at the Party’s “Relief and Recovery Rally,” staged at Thwaites Corner, at which members of the Barbuda People’s Movement (BPM) also joined the call.

Spencer said the people of Antigua and Barbuda deserve much better than they are receiving from the Browne Administration.

Accordingly, he says, it would be in their best interest to redeem, and rescue the country and embark upon a serious recovery programme led by the UPP.

The former Prime Minister adds that, going forward, it should be everyone’s pledge to put country above party.

Spencer again endorsed the UPP’s 16 Candidates – known as “The Redeem Team” – saying he is satisfied that the Party is the answer to the country’s economic crisis,

and he reiterated that the UPP is committed to its “People First” philosophy.

Meanwhile, Dr. Spencer promised he will continue to work with the Party to bring about meaningful change in the country,

and he appealed to all the Candidates and Party supporters to ready themselves for the day of the election.

In this regard, he spoke about the importance of mobilizing early and being organized.

    • Shame on you Mr. Spencer!! Is this what you Antigua & Barbuda to come to? People who have no credibility, no track record, no proper reputation to run this country. Remember Spence, these are guys & gals who can’t spell, who disrespect our Caribbean brothers & sisters, who does know anything about foreign investment, who owes, who snores at symposiums, who beat & curse women, who are in their 50’s and do have a proper education. It is evident why our country nose dive during your tenure as PM. U definitely don’t have yr head on. It appears as though you want to change the the line of our national anthem to ” Drop your standard, Drop it bodly answer any old how to your nation’s call. Sorry sir but Not Dem Again

    • You like to regurgitate the same manure every day, using different pseudonym, so I will remind you of the following.

      Alex Saab Moran drug trafficker & money launderer who Gaston appointed as economic envoy in 2014, just 3 months after the ALP won the general, is in US custody singing like a cage bird about his activities in antigua and elsewhere.

      Also tell us about the latest crypto scandal that an antiguan lawyer who is an ALP member and on the board of their favorite bank is involved in.

      • Gaston begging to stay in power to safe his head from loosing whatever amount of hair he has left.

        There are three axis at work here that will be his downfall and his built up empire on a foundation made of marl. Mr. Moran, Mr. King and CRYPTOCURRENCY!!!!

        He well knows the jurisdiction that these individuals are subject too. Will not interfere in any upcoming election.

        He and his party looses. Will be a game changer. With that said. That too will depend on the cooperation of the incoming government. What will they do? Time will tell.

  3. What the hell is He endorsing…

    MURDERERS

    THIEVES

    BANKRUPTCIES

    CANDIDATES with Long RAP sheet from America.

    Shame on you Sir

    Hive me an ASPIRIN.

  4. You look in good health Mr Spencer.

    Even though I didn’t support the UPP in 2014, I do now however acknowledge that you’ve made the UPP a VERY electable party (enough credit wasn’t given to you at the time or now), especially after the destabilising years of the Lester Bird era.

    Please accept my sincere apologies for falling for Gaston Browne’s falsehoods and perfidious double-dealings over the last two terms of office.

    Much respect sir!

    • @ BRIXTONIAN the AR….SE LICKER. BRIXTONIAN the Loser. You are working for a SENATE SEAT that will NEVER happen.. BRIXTONIAN go find a job.

  5. U labourites are such laughable fools.
    Just keep drinking the poisonous red Kool-aid.
    Everyone can see right through your stupidity as you continue to use different memes.
    Keep braying Donkey

  6. Poor onyan. Spencer is hoping that the UPP can win so that he can be made Governor General and National Hero, after a year or two. Poor onyan!

  7. Bixtonian I too jumped at Gastón and believed that he was right person for the job. Never expected that the greed and getting wealthy would have been his major achievement. Today he is the biggest real estate owner and operator in Antigua, using government resources and inside information as an advantage- rental of house to the western imperialist Chinese owner. Building complex in Jennings housing the Cuban nurses and doctors and other government statutory offices. Purchasing of crown lands a few months before a government project so that he can swap. This includes his son who collects 30 thousand dollars payments from the treasury and his ex fronting and his in-laws and his wife charity and the restaurant and radio station down point and several parcels of lands at WIOC. He owns several backhoes and other heavy duty equipment to include the long boom excavator working in the deep water harbor for ever and ever. Then to cover up he encourage his ministers to also get wealthy , and they too continue to rob and use the state resources to gather wealth. Chet Greene using his ministry to build a multi million dolor building he call community center on his personal land in his personal name .He can now use that building as assist and walk into any bank for example. Then there is Robin on the Indian town lands – lands that value 20 dollars per square foot he got for 2 dollars EC. So while the average Antiguan is catching hell GB and his family and cabinet is getting wealthier and wealthier. This greed and accumulation of wealth by GB and his Cabinet has changed my mind from respecting him. OH and Farmer Browne – Antigua farmers are struggling for infrastructure- Roads , water , light etc . In a few short years again using government resources Farmer Browne has developed a farm with Wells dug by APUA, Water by APUA , Roads by PWD , Dam with Public work and agriculture assistance and lights. If this was a person that worked out of the private sector and acquire this wealth I would have given kudos. However using government resources, inside information, having equipment rented to government and getting paid from the treasury while others are not , property rented to government / statutory bodies are more than enough to send any leader in the democratic world to prison. These amount to treason on the purse of this country. We have people suffering for lack of medical attention. Waiting on medical benefits and the ministry of health for a simple 20, 30, 40 thousand dollars to undergo life savings operation. While we have a PM raking in Millions from the said ministry for rent to house Cuban doctors and nurses. So where is the humanity, where is the love for our fellow brothers and sisters, where is the love for country??? I am loosing my calmness as I write. We must put and end to all of this.

    • Well said @ Frankly Speaking, I couldn’t have put it better myself – I agree with all the points that you’ve mentioned.

      Gaston Browne has without a shadow of a doubt failed the citizens of Antigua & Barbuda. However, his supporters will still continue to support him even though he’ll put the self interests of his family; cabinet members and associates before the economy of the country.

      I also note with interest, that your response was coherent, comprehensive, well explained as to why Antigua is in so much trouble to-date with this current self-enrichment administration.

      However, and what really baffles many UPP supporters, is that when the ABLP supporters have an opportunity to defend Gaston Browne as coherently and as erudite as yourself, they resort to using unsavoury language, unintelligible soundbites and swearing.

      It really does say a lot about the type of supporter that ABLP and Gaston Browne attracts – not really good for the future of our beautiful country.

      Here’s hoping that the General Election is called soon … 🤜🤛

    • @Frankly speaking: well summarized events of Welty accumulation in such a short time. It takes a lifetime of working to get a fraction of the wealth Gaston Browne and his just come Cabinet of Deplorables have accumulated. Some workers never get there.

      Some get a windfall from insurance payout, winning the lottery or generational wealth passed dowm. As you said if it was private sector individual. You would have no problem. I still would raise a red flag on that. Eight years and you are land Baron, developer and flipper in a 170 square mile island? Very unusual. This is Antigua and Barbuda and anything goes with the conduct with ministers of government.

      Governmental power needs to be decentralized. The Cabinet and Parliamentary Representatives should not be one of the same. Oversight of Cabinet decisions is badly needed.

      Your spot on with your analysis!
