pretty soon you will hear names like David Granger Singh or Solomon Koosi Persaud leading PNC:::Just like how PNC went from __PNC–to-PNCR–to-PNCRIG-to-APNU..their names will change to fit their agenda ..
This will really screw things up for the opportunistic AFC.
The AFC may be the tail trying to wag the dog (PNCR).
