Pearl Quinn-Williams, the United Progressive Party’s caretaker for St. John’s Rural North, has launched a petition that calls for a public inquiry into the debacle of Antigua Airways and the chartered flights that left West Africans stranded in Antigua.
The petition was made public on Thursday, February 23; residents are being asked to sign it in support of the call on His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams, Governor-General, to commission an inquiry and a report on the issues.
Copies of the petition are now in circulation, with most of the UPP MPs, caretakers and branches making then available for signatures. Signing may also be undertaken at the UPP Secretariat in Belmont.
Quinn-Williams says the petition is being circulated on behalf of the citizens and residents who are concerned about the situation, and who have demonstrated this through an earlier picket of the Prime Minister’s Office.
The petition notes the irreparable damage the Antigua Airways scandal can cause to the country’s standing in the region and its reputation in the international community, as well as the impact on the livelihood of the people.
Quinn-Williams, too, refers to the airline fiasco as a big scandal which has the potential to damage the reputation of Antigua and Barbuda.
According to Quinn-Williams, the Browne Administration has not been up front with the truth of this matter and only an investigation will be able to get to the bottom of it.
The petition target is 10,000 signatures, and the Rural North caretaker is hoping that residents will give it strong support. To that end, she says, she will be in the city on the weekend seeking to garner as many endorsements as possible. – REAL NEWS

PEARL the LOSER. You’re wasting your DAMN time. Find employment at the bank where you were FIRED. UPP and PEARL fighting our AFRICAN Brothers and Sisters .Shame on you PEARL.
@ SHARM
fighting our AFRICAN Brothers and Sisters? That is the justification for all the lies from day 1 Gaston and Melford has been feeding us? About wealthy tourists? Antigua Airways?
There are many safe countries in Africa for them to relocate – you guys could not even provide a stimulus but you can feed and house and school 700 Africans when you cannot even pay government suppliers for years? Nor back pay to government workers, including nurses and teachers?
Isn’t this all a set up for future elections when these Africans will be given the right to vote and settled across the country especially in UPP strongholds?
The ABLP does nothing unless it fills their pockets and/or guarantee their future election. victory.
ABLP really take us for FOOLS.
PEARL the LOSER, SAMANTHA the WINNER, STUPID MINION!!
I am in full support of Pearl’s argument and camping for an inquiry, as ALP has a lot to answer for. Antiguans should not be naive, or allowed themselves to be taken in by emotive languages used to justify their scandalous behaviour.
Nigeria has never done a thing for Antigua, therefore, why should Antigua be hoodwink by ALP and open our doors to Nigeria ‘s criminal elements, fraudsters and potential terrorists.
ALP’ wanton behaviour ir reckless and irresponsible, they and with the support of the Nigerian employee, who is employed by the Ministry of Argiculture have made it easy for Nigerian fraudsters to operate with ease from our homeland.
My Ancestors who worked in hot sun picking cotton, who were crippled from bending over to plant and cut cane, did not make those sacrifices for ALP to make our country a laughing stock an embarrassment locally and internationally.
Therefore, Antiguans, irrespective of your political persuasion, but if you are committed and loyal to our homeland, your voice and objections 👎 are needed to safeguard our image . Sign the petition and let’s have an inquiry
It would be useful if the petition could be extended to Antiguans living abroad . Maybe an online system could be set up to accommodate online voters. ALP cannot continue to run a mock and Antiguans remain silent.
JACKASS!!! nobody fighting any Africans, we just need to know what transpired. Bloody senseless
LEAVE our AFRICAN Brothers and Sisters alone. Pearl stop campaigning you are a LOSER. Wait until 2028 when you will lose again. UPP did not offer you a SENATE position. It shows how DUMB you are. Five more years . Our African Brothers and Sisters will stay in Antigua.
BRIXTONIAN is hiding ??? Don’t want to touch this topic.

@ Antigua 4ever
Why make this a political football ? If They were White People you Guys would NOT say a word. Only have strong for your own Black People.
@ TRUE ANTIGUAN
it is not a political football, but ABLP were warned over and over about their illicit dealings with marvellous mike and they ignored because they knew their true intent.
THEY ARE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS who were looking a big pay day.
This is absolutely necessary to get to the bottom of this fraudulent operation. I can’t believe that the ABLP Government went along with this scheme. There must be some corruption involved here. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION EVERYONE!!!

These Labourites are counterproductive to nation building. Whatever they’re drinking or whatever they’re being paid, our country can sink into oblivion for them.
The more Melfraud talks the more lies he spews and sensible, rational thinking citizens can never accept this hogwash. What African brothers and sisters? They were brought here as an intransit point to the US. We must get to the bottom of this or else the country is liable for sanctions among other things.
I support an inquiry 100%.
@pete. I’m not even Antiguan, but I can tell that you are as dumb as a box rocks..smdh. are you kidding me dude? You have a serious immigration crisis here running a mock in your tiny Caribbean island, and all you can do is to criticize someone who is seeking the truth in this bloody fiasco? I’m absolutely lost for words with this tool called Pete! Who is this dude? Smh. Shocking.
