Former PM Manning mourns former President Robinson

by

20140411

Fol­low­ing is the full state­ment is­sued by for­mer Prime Min­is­ter Patrick Man­ning af­ter the death of for­mer Pres­i­dent and Prime Min­is­ter Arthur NR Robin­son.

I mourn with my fel­low cit­i­zens of Trinidad and To­ba­go on the pass­ing of for­mer Pres­i­dent and for­mer Prime Min­is­ter of the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go Mr. A.N.R. Robin­son.

He has se­cured a place in the his­to­ry of this blessed na­tion as one who has served in pub­lic life over sev­er­al decades, ded­i­cat­ing him­self to the ser­vice of the pub­lic and mak­ing sig­nif­i­cant and im­pact­ful de­ci­sions over his tenure both as Prime Min­is­ter and as Pres­i­dent.

Mr. Robin­son will be re­mem­bered for his courage and brav­ery in the many dire cir­cum­stances he en­coun­tered as Prime Min­is­ter, most sig­nif­i­cant of which, was the 1990 at­tempt­ed coup.

We thank God for the long and ful­fill­ing life that he has lived in the face of the many chal­lenges. On be­half of my fam­i­ly, the con­stituents of San Fer­nan­do East and my­self, I send my sin­cere con­do­lences to the fam­i­ly of the late Mr. Robin­son.

I es­pe­cial­ly ac­knowl­edge the spe­cial place that Mr. Robin­son holds in the hearts of the peo­ple of To­ba­go, his home­land.

I pray that God Almighty will com­fort all who mourn at this time of loss.

May his soul rest in peace.
