Of course, Ingraham was greeted warmly by many FNM supporters, but his own motorcade was met by an opposition caravan blaring loud music nearby.<\/p>\n

This was the fourth leg of a tour of inner-city communities for Ingraham, after visiting Bains Town and Grants Town, Centreville and Englerston in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

And more tours of New Providence communities are on the way as election day approaches. The FNM has made these visits a major part of its recent campaign effort with Ingraham promising to give residents in those communities a better way of life if the FNM wins.<\/p>\n

However, his message was met with some non-violent opposition in Nassau Village.<\/p>\n

The prime minister seemed unfazed as he posed with FNM supporters and their children and told PLP supporters who taunted him to \u201cstop talking foolishness.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the large crowd of PLPs, Ingraham said: \u201cWhat about the FNMs I\u2019m seeing? What about the FNMs who are hugging me up? I\u2019m being enthusiastically received down here as you can see.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said his walkabout in areas like Nassau Village is symbolic of what he wants to accomplish in his next term.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are areas that I want to transform,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to see these people for myself. I want to walk with them, I want to touch their hands, and help to lift their spirits and encourage them to come with me because I care for them and I will deliver for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
