NEIL GOSINE, the candidate for Treasurer in Sunday’s United National Congress (UNC) internal elections is calling on citizens not to miss the bigger picture in Trinidad and Tobago.
In a recent vlog, he said while people were calling each other names, one of the main issues included not being able to put food on the table.
He said, “While everybody is focusing on names and calling people various names, we are really missing the big picture and being distracted from the main issues; where we cannot even put food on our tables, people are suffering out there, those are the main things, the high gas prices that’s a major issue.”
Gosine said that was why there needs to be a change in the leadership of the country and therefore he was supporting the incumbent political leader of the UNC Kamla Persad-Bissessar to continue to lead the party.
Persad-Bissessar is heading the Star Team fielding candidates in all 18 posts for the internal elections. Only three of those positions – political leader, elections officer and party organiser- are being contested.
Gosine told AZP News that he has come from “the deepest inner parts of the UNC” and was the chairman of the St Joseph constituency in 2000 and also “campaign manager for Carlos John in the Joseph seat in 2000 as well, where Carlos John won the seat with one of the largest margins ever seen in that seat previously.”
He said he continued to work in the St Joseph constituency and is about to relinquish the position of North East Regional Coordinator of the party.
Gosine is a former chairman of the National Petroleum Marketing Company of Trinidad and Tobago with a Master’s in Business Administration and a columnist at AZP News.
