GOODBYE?OWEN! HELLO?COLIN!
That was the cry yesterday from some Barbados Labour Party (BLP) supporters in the St Peter constituency, many of whom had voted for former prime minister Owen Arthur time and time again during his 30 years as their MP.
When a SUNDAY?SUN?team visited the parish yesterday to find out how constituents felt about Arthur’s possible replacement, hotel executive Colin Jordan, a number of them called Jordan an excellent choice and were very vocal about their feelings for Arthur, who resigned suddenly from the BLP three weeks ago and is now sitting as an Independent.
“He could have gone ever since”, and “tell him don’t come back in St Peter” were just some of the angry comments which some constituents levelled at Arthur, as many expressed disappointment that he had not addressed them on the matter.
