AFC alarmed by reports of plot to assassinate President Granger; urges law enforcement to act swiftly

The Alliance For Change says it has learnt, with alarm, details of the alleged plot to assassinate President David Granger.

The AFC, which forms part of the Coalition Government, condemns the “dastardly and diabolical plot and urges our law enforcement agencies to bring these criminal plotters and their handlers to swift justice.”

The party says since the assumption to office by the Coalition Government, there has been “a well-orchestrated campaign of character assassination of leaders of Government and naked threats have emanated in social media posts. It also recalls that the police were called in to probe allegations of the private residence of the Prime Minister being staked out by a known criminal element.”

The AFC is cautioning that race-baiting and inflammatory utterances by persons opposed to the Coalition Government have formed a bizarre backdrop for opportunistic elements to execute acts of criminality and terror.

The party is urging all Guyanese to be on the alert and to stand firm against and renounce criminal acts that could destabilize democracy and threaten the stability of the state.
