KINGSTON, Jamaica — Member of Parliament (MP) for East Rural St Andrew, Damian Crawford, on Sunday issued a warning to Oliver Clue, councillor for the Harbour View Division, which is within the constituency.

“Sometimes the father lion and the son lion fights, but we nah fight to the death, we just a fight till one surrender and a nuh me,” Crawford stated, which was greeted by cheers from his supporters at a rally in his constituency.

Crawford cautioned Clue against challenging him for his seat. “You cyaa plant when there is drought, but you can’t reap if you don’t plant!” warned the MP.

The junior minister of tourism and entertainment asserted that he is not ungrateful. In fact, he thanked Clue for the work he did when the People’s National Party (PNP) was behind by seven points in the 2011 general elections, and he walked around and campaigned for him.

“Me a guh campaign too Oliver Clue and say the only thing me and you a guh have a problem with is that I am the MP now. You can’t want to be the MP when me a di MP!” he warned. “Other than that, whole a we a friends.”

Crawford encouraged the comrades in attendance to call upon the councillor to join him on the platform and campaign with him. He then went on to instruct them to say: “Come Oliver Clue,” adding “we nah lef no PNP out a door”.

Oliver Clue was once the Member of Parliament for the constituency. Earlier this year, Clue had said that he was planning to tender his resignation as vice-chairman of the steering committee and as the councillor for the constituency before being removed as the PNP candidate in 2007.
