People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Candidate and Executive Member, Anil Nandlall has apologised for comments he made last evening at a political event.
Nandlall, the Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister said that “Cuffy was a proud and upstanding House Slave”.
See his apology below:
Last evening, at a public meeting at Stabroek Square, I made some comments which unfortunately did not accurately convey my intention. For my lack of clarity, I offer my unqualified and unreserved apology.
The public record will reflect that I have always described slavery as, by far, the worst tragedy in recorded history. My intention was not born out of ill-will or any form of disrespect whatsoever.
My intention was to condemn attempts at racial division in our country. I regard the unity of our people as indispensable to the advancement of our nation.
Again, I offer my humble apologies for any unintended disrespect conveyed or offence committed.
