“To my utter shame and regret I voted for it,Wholesale China Jerseys, because I was required to do so as a PPP MP.”The tension between the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and its former Executive Member Moses Nagamootoo seems to be escalating, with barbs being flung back and forth.Nagamootoo fired back at his critics during a recent Alliance For Change press briefing, but in sticking to his decorum said that he would not seek to link any specific leader in the party to a particular allegation he has made against them but rather, “all are involved,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, all are consumed.”He had only minutes before told media operatives that the decision he made to leave the PPP/C was one that did not happen overnight, and commenting on one of the issues that has been making its rounds in the campaign, Nagamootoo said that President Jagdeo’s pension plan had rattled his soul when he first addressed his mind to it.Nagamootoo sought to express his position further when he said “but to my utter shame and regret I voted for it, because I was required to do so as a PPP MP.”He said that when he forged an allegiance with the AFC he was exercising, as an independent citizen,Jerseys From China, his constitutional and democratic right to choose with whom to associate.AFC member Moses Nagamootoo“I had wanted to leave the PPP since 1998, when the process to destroy the party’s internal democracy had started.
