Bermuda Bids Farewell To Governor Rena Lalgie
Premier David Burt, Opposition Leader Jarion Richardson and other dignitaries gathered at the airport to bid farewell to Governor Rena Lalgie, Bermuda’s first female and Black Governor, as she departed the Island today.
A Government spokesperson said, “Earlier today, a small group of dignitaries, including Premier David Burt, gave a heartfelt farewell to Her Excellency, the Governor, Rena Lalgie and her husband Mr. Jacob Hawkins.
“The farewell ceremony took place landside, outside of the L. F. Wade International Airport departure area, where Her Excellency was received by Premier Burt, Deputy Governor Tom Oppenheim, Opposition Leader Jarion Richardson, Chief Justice Larry Mussenden, and the Secretary to the Cabinet, Marc Telemaque.
“Rena Lalgie was Sworn-In as Bermuda’s Governor in December 2020. It was an historic appointment, as not only was she the first female Governor, but she was also the first Black Governor in Bermuda’s 400-plus year history.
Following Ms. Lalgie’s departure, Premier Burt once again took the opportunity to express his gratitude for her dedicated service to Bermuda, saying, “Governor Lalgie’s contributions have been welcomed in our community and she has left an enduring legacy.
“She has served Bermuda with distinction, and her departure marks the end of a significant chapter in the island’s history. On behalf of the Government and the people of Bermuda, we express our heartfelt gratitude and wish her continued success and fulfilment in her future endeavours.”
A Government spokesperson added, “Bermuda’s next Governor is set to arrive this month.”
Thank you Governor Rena.
Great job and kept peace.
Best in the future.
By far the worse Governor we ever had. Jinks did a better job. Be honest:she was just there doing?????list four accomplishments. You can’t.
Thank you for sharing the PLP’s opinion of HE Governor Lalgie.
Where does it say PLP. You’re just another racist trying to spread propaganda! It’s know wonder why so many black Bermudians stay away from people and political parties that think just like YOU!
“It’s know wonder why so many black Bermudians stay away from people and political parties that think just like YOU!”
And you call me a racist?
“Really?” is one of at least 3 names used by the same poster using the same computer and is clearly a PLP supporter based on other posts. It’s not hard to track.
Thank you, Ringmaster. And I see that “Really?” is engaging in the tactic of attacking anyone who does not toe the party line and is calling me a racist for daring to think.
Nothing in the writers words say plp. You clearly have mental issues. Seek counseling and free yourself.
Just another racist in this beautiful world we live in.
Why would you ever say something stupid like that? You make yourself look like a child.
