John-John joins PACT after MPs lobby for his ‘talents’

(CNS): Following two direct and very public invitations from the PACT government over the last few days to Dwayne “John-John” Seymour to join the administration, he did just that Tuesday evening. During a public meeting in his constituency of Bodden Town East he sought the approval of his voters to join the current government, crossing the floor from the opposition benches, after what he said was the lobbying of MPs for his “talents” and experience.

“This is not an easy decision,” Seymour told his district audience, adding that it might not be popular with everyone but he was doing it to help his constituents.

It does not appear that Seymour has been offered a ministry, but Tourism Minister Kenneth Bryan said that Seymour would be working with him to fix the transport problem and assisting various other ministers with projects, such as helping Planning Minister Jay Ebanks with the affordable housing project.

It also appears that the PACT Government will be calling on Seymour for his experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, despite his less than stellar record as health minister.

Premier Wayne Panton arrived late at the meeting to welcome him into the fold and appeared to give his blessing to the new addition to the PACT line-up, despite their past disputes over the environment. Panton said it was a pleasure to support what he hoped would be the newest member who would help unite the whole of Bodden Town under the new government.

Jay Ebanks, who had been one of those offering the overt invitations to Seymour, said he was the “missing link” in the PACT Government.

      Just like PPM. Politics is a numbers game. Why is Juju still education minister for PPM and PACT?

      Idiot..PPM had him and you weren’t complaining. There is strength in numbers and unfortunately PPM has been weakened one more time today..

      By the way, I hear they are looking at Joey and Moses..Soon won’t be anything but dregs left in PPM.

    His ‘Talents’? Pray tell, what are these talents no one has seen any evidence of.
    Is being an idiot and an absolute embarrassment to the country a talent?

    I don’t understand all this, my simple mind asks if this is an example of extreme politicking, – give John John a position to fend off a possible PPM vote of no confidence ? My simple mind is savvy enough to know this crossing the floor action wasn’t done for the right reasons.

    Shows what these guys are really made of. Same with Turner, JUJU and that other guy i havent heard from since he was elected.

    Contstand party switching to suit their best interests. Whatever gets them the fanciest title before their name is all they are interested in.

    This was never done for his ‘people’, only himself.

    And this is what PACT and Jon Jon does instead of updating these Islands on enhanced measured to restricts COVID ripping through this little place.

    On the bright side, Jon Jon will likely hold weekly press conferences to give us all jokes.

    JaJaJaJa… Jon Jon will understand.

    Pantson is wobbly. Slanders is da facto premier from time and swinging an outsize cod. Jaysus has put the come-along onto JohnJohn who reels in Miss JuJu to make up the Party like she always do. And what a Party! Or is this the Last Dance? Or just a Shot in the Dart? Does A Nerd know more than he should?

    The PPM’ers will be out in full bot attack on this one. Of course up until yesterday John John was the best thing next to slice bread but now he will be dog shit under their shoes…Wait for it…

    The remaining PPM are too proud to ever change their ways and unfortunately they will wither away in the next election.

    Roy is full of hot air and complaints with no good solutions. Alden will kick him to the curb next election and I have feeling that Moses most likely won’t even bother to run again.

    As long as he is not the Minister of Health again, I’m glad to see him make this decision to join and work with the Government. This is a good thing.

    So this leaves PPM with just their 4 seats in GT and 1 in Cayman Brac.. Boy they fell from grace fast! PACT has wrapped up the entire Eastern Side of the Island and West Bay…Now if in the next election we can get the remaining remnants of PPM gone, what a wonderful world this will be.

    Well, I for one feel much better to have his talents at the ready. Perhaps he can translate all the signs for tourists into a few dozen languages.

    If Jay Ebanks is saying that JonJon is the missing link, then he, Jay must be the missing chain. I never fail to be in complete dismay each time I hear this man talk. To think we have an uneducated and pompous person such as he is, as a Minister is nothing short of shameful.

    It grieves me to say this but I hope Wayne give JonJon a Cabinet position and removes the numb-nuts MP from NS.

    Talents? What talents? That event was one of the most disgusting political presentations that I have seen in a long time. It was a real circle jerk.

    Politics really does attract people with very questionable ethical and moral values.
