Craig Oates is calling for the resignation of PNP General Secretary, Dr. Dayton Campbell.
He made the call in leaked Whatsapp messages obtained by Nationwide News.
Mahiri Stewart reports.
In Whatsapp messages sent to a PNP groupchat, Craig Oates said he was told by Dr. Campbell that he would be placed on a work programme.
Mr. Oates says when he questioned the decision, he was told that the move was made by the PNP’s National Executive Council.
Mr. Oates says at no point did Dr. Campbell or any secretariat member ask for any information on the work he did in the programme he was placed.
He expressed shock at the fact that Councillor for the Sandy Bay Division, Andrea Dehaney was included on a poll commisisoned by the party, despite not being on the list of applicants.
He says despite the polls proving he was in a dead heat with MP for Eastern Hanover, the JLP’s Dave Brown, it was evident to him the decision to include Mrs. Dehaney was because the PNP never intended to give him the seat.
Mr. Oates also raised concern over the party’s removal of Caretaker for the Cauldwell Division, Ken Calame.
He could be seen in the messages repeatedly asking PNP veteran K.D Knight if this is how a party is to be run.
Mr. Oates further questioned the party’s decision to appoint Ian Hayles and the Mayor of Lucea, Sheridan Samuels as caretakers, while both remain under investigation by the Integrity Commission.
Mr. Oates in the messages said quote “The General Secretary Dayton Campbell needs to resign!”
He asked in groupchat why neither Dr. Campbell nor Ian Hayles were subjected to polls or work programmes before being made caretakers.
He ended his rant by stating he had no intention of leaving the PNP before finally asking the groupchat quote “How can Mark Golding allow this nonsense?”
