Alfonso Noble Exits Wave TV Gracefully

Uncertainty continues to loom over the U.D.P. and the management of its political organs. Last week’s court ruling ordered Albert Area Representative Tracy Taegar-Panton and her executive to vacate the premises, which also meant their support staff wouldn’t be there. So, instead of the usual Wave TV and Radio talk show co-hosts Alfonso Noble and Joe Bradley this morning, former U.D.P. City Councilor Dean Samuels and former U.D.P. Mayoral Candidate Dr. Nelma Mortis took over.  Up until last Thursday, Noble was the editor of the Guardian Newspaper under the Panton faction, which had occupied the compound and to whom he had pledged allegiance in the ongoing leadership struggle. Panton and her executive believe she is the rightful leader of the U.D.P., based on a convention held on October twentieth at the Belize City Civic Centre, where a majority of U.D.P. delegates voted to replace Mesopotamia Area Representative Moses “Shyne” Barrow with her.  Barrow, however, argues that the convention was not valid because it wasn’t presided over by U.D.P. Chair Mike Peyrefitte. Today, Alfonso Noble made a brief appearance at the start of Wave TV’s Fus Ting Da Mawning Show to announce that he would be stepping down indefinitely.

 

Alfonso Noble, Former Wave Talk Show Host

“I’ve just been notified that I’ve been put on pause from doing the morning show, but I thought it necessary to advise our viewership that you guys will be on this morning and I’ll take a sidestep until matters are fully resolved. It has been a very, very excellent time for me. I’m working at Wave Radio. It’s really, really good. I’ve done what I can to forward the position of the party as much as I can. And I guess a decision will be made as to my status. I’ve received a call this morning and I just thought it necessary to tell the audience cause, um, you know, um, people tune in and, and, and it’s, it’s,  it’s many, many, many, many, many viewers who, who loyally listen to the, um, to the show and listen to, um, myself and Joe Bradley every morning. And I think it necessary to give a little explanation as to why myself and Joe will not be present this morning and what will happen um forward not going forward So I just want to thank all of those people who have always tuned into us, whatever is taking place at this point in time and make my graceful exit at this point in time. So Miss Delma and Dean, carry forward, push the U.D.P. agenda forward.”
