“If you read the retraction statement, basically I believe that our party are in shambles. WE are at the point of honestly being destroyed. What I was hoping is that this letter would have sent a strong signal not only to Mr. Faber, but to the thirty-one delegates. We need to look at the bigger picture. The bigger picture, one where we see the party is bigger than us. Another one they have not been seeing eh large number of poor U.D.P. supporters that are suffering. I am trying to show them this. If they fail, then I am not to blame. I am just trying to do my part and my position was I submitted this letter to the chairman and half an hour later it was leaked out and so in that I was disappointed and moving on, one, two three, days later, I began to receive a lot of texts from epopee in support for Faber. People here tell me mayor remember we went to support you and you cannot throw Mr. Patrick under the bus and it is a bigger picture than that. So that is what prompted me to rescind the letter and ask for everybody to come together. But, as we saw what happened on Saturday, I was not there, but it is sad, but it is reality.”
