Talk show host Claude Skelton Cline said he believes Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley is set to make history as one of the most innovative leaders the BVI has ever seen. During his Honestly Speaking radio show yesterday, October 8, Skelton-Cline highlighted the Premier’s transformative approach to governance, particularly in navigating the territory through current and upcoming challenges. The talk show host reflected on the legacy that Premier Wheatley is building and argued that Wheatley’s forward-thinking actions will be remembered across time.
“The Premier now will go down in history of making some of the most innovative change,” Skelton Cline said. Skelton-Cline stressed the importance of preparation for the future, a message he repeated throughout the programme. “Prepare.
That’s the tagline. Prepare for 2025,” he urged. Skelton-Cline suggested that the BVI must brace itself for global and local changes in the coming years.
He expressed concerns over natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, and economic sustainability, stressing that the BVI needs to be ready for these potential threats. “2025 is a year of war,” Skelton Cline stated ominously. He warned that while conflict may seem distant, the effects will be felt closer to home, including in the Caribbean.
He said the region, including the BVI, should be prepared for disruptions in food security and energy supply due to global conflicts, emphasising the need for the territory to plan accordingly. Skelton Cline urged Premier Wheatley to consider reshuffling his Cabinet, suggesting a unification with Opposition members to face the challenges ahead. “Reshuffle your Cabinet, collapse the Opposition, invite the Opposition to become Minister of Finance,” he advised.
Skelton Cline also touched on leadership qualities, praising figures like Dame Janice Pereira, former Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, as the leader needed for the BVI’s future. He proposed that the Premier consider his next term in office under the leadership of the former Chief Justice to secure the territory’s future and maintain stability.
