More tributes for the late former Prime Minister Patrick Manning, this time from the other side of the political aisle.

Political leader of the Tobago Organisation of the People Ashworth Jack is extending condolences on his behalf and that of his party to Mrs. Hazel Manning and the rest of the Manning family.

Mr. Jack noted Mr. Manning’s over four decades of service to the nation, adding that it no doubt came at great sacrifice for him and his family.

Speaking with Newscentre 5 the T.O.P. leader said he would remember the former Prime Minister for statements he made; among them his win alone, lose alone and we will beat them in the east comments.

Nevertheless Mr. Jack believes now is the time to remember the longest serving Member of Parliament for the contributions he would have made to the country.

The accolades being paid to Mr. manning by some of his political adversaries have been deemed as hypocritical by some.

However Mr. Jack begs to differ, saying being someone’s political adversary does not an enemy make.

He said the growing trend of having political enemies does not augur well for the country, or for the democratic process.
