He told those gathered that this would be the last time he would be addressing them in that capacity.Outgoing Region 10 Chairman, Mortimer MingoSeveral APNU supporters have for some time now been calling for Solomon to replace Mingo as Regional Chairman. He had worked as the coalition of parties Campaign Manager leading Linden to a sweeping victory at the November 28 General and Regional Election securing the two Parliamentary seats that were up for grabs. The APNU has also secured control of the Office of Regional Chairman.APNU had denied sideling Mingo during the party?s rally in Linden during the run-up to the election and said that his absence from centre stage was nothing to shout about. Mingo was present at the rally but had apparently opted to ?stay in the shadows? unlike on previous occasions where he was featured prominently, inclusive of the line-up of speakers.Mingo had recently found himself caught up in an imbroglio stemming from an offer by the administration to take up an house-lot and the now controversial ?Pradoville II? on the East Coast of Demerara.Credible sources close to the issue had however opined that Mingo was merely guilty of not fully disclosing the dealing as it relates to the house lot before things blew out of proportion. In his defence, some in the hierarchy of the APNU,[url=http://www.cheapestnfljerseys.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys From China[/url], particularly in the PNCR faction, said that Mingo merely received an offer he thought was being made to his Regional Colleagues but when he realized this was not the case he promptly ensured that he did not fall into the trap.Mingo has in the past denied receiving any land in the controversial ?Pradoville II.? He had issued a press statement subsequent to the allegations where he advised that Dr Roger Luncheon had called him around August 2010 and had informed him that the Government of Guyana was in the process of allocating house lots at Sparendaam,[url=http://www.cheapchinanfljerseys.us/]NFL Jerseys Cheap[/url], East Coast Demerara.It was disclosed that the land was being given to senior Government functionaries and Regional Chairmen and that he (Mingo) was identified as one of the persons for a house lot.According to that statement, Mingo was informed that he would be contacted later about the allocation. Mingo said that he later contacted his lawyer and told him about Luncheon?s offer. He said in a statement,[url=http://www.cheapestnfljerseys.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping[/url], ?I was advised that I acknowledge the offer and wait to see what and how I would proceed with the offer.?Mingo had added that since that phone call he never heard from Dr Luncheon or anyone concerning the said plot of land. The chairman said too that he has not signed any agreement or condition of sale or paid any money for any land at ?Pradoville II?.Mingo further stated that he has never received any lease, title or transport for the said land. In fact, the Regional Chairman said that he has never even seen the said plot of land.The Central Housing and Planning Authority in response to Mingo?s position released photocopies of a cheque that Mingo had given to the Ministry. It revealed that Mingo, of Lot 45, Topira Crescent,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysnear.us@#$%&/]cheap nfl jerseys online[/url], Richmond Hill, Linden, issued the $1,500,500 cheque to the Central Housing and Planning Authority on September 3, 2010. However, according to the documents released by the Housing Ministry, the cheque subsequently ?bounced.?After this, Mingo acknowledged that the cheque was indeed his.The Region 10 Chairman said that he acknowledged this offer ?in the form of a cheque for $1.5M?. But according to Mingo, after checking with his other colleagues a few days later and finding that they had not been offered similar increments,[url=http://www.wholesalesportsjerseys.us@#$%&/]NFL Jerseys Supply[/url], he ?took steps to ensure that no payments would be made.?
