To say the VI has rights 'is increasingly becoming a sham’- 'Edju En Ka'
Mr Smith made this statement during an edition of Umoja on ZBVI 780 AM on May 21, 2026, when he discussed the Virgin Islands Constitution, as well as issues related to rights, advancement, and violations.
Governor has final say
He pointed out that the governor's final say undermines the impact of any laws that are passed.
He explained that while the governor must assent to laws, if he disagrees with them, he can simply withhold his approval, preventing the law from passing.“Whatever he wants to have happen, happen, regardless of what we do. So, in the sense, he's a unitary, a single person, dictatorship,” Smith further stated.
Smith added, “To say that we have rights to me is increasingly becoming a sham, because the final say, the final approval, the final authority, is the Governor of the Virgin Islands.”
Governor of the Virgin Islands Daniel Pruce is the representative of the British monarch and acts as the de facto head of state.
Appointed by the UK government, the Governor holds specific "reserve responsibilities," while the democratically elected local government manages domestic and internal affairs.

They have one single focus...get rid of England.
He is not known as Aju En Ka - and everytime he uses that name he also has to give his real name so that persons know who he is.
Presumably he made up Aju En Ka because he thinks it sounds African (although which part of the continent is not clear).
Stop embarrassing yourself and use the name your parents gave you.
Edju En Ka is his name of choice. How come it bother you so?
First thing to remember is the VI is not a country. it is a Territory of the UK. The Governor is a representative of the UK powers. The VI does make its own laws and has power to do so but it cannot make laws that contradict UK laws.
That is what our leaders really want. To make laws that suit themselves. Laws that are in place to protect the people.
Pretending that we are not a part of the UK, and that the the Governor is somehow doing something he shouldn't because he is a racist is how they misinform the people Our politicians and media mislead because they want to take the people to Independence not so things are better for us, ONLY but better for them. They do not explain to the people that if that happens and our leaders make laws. laws that they want and that do not work for the people.
The same way our leaders have ignored what the people want with the constitution they are now seeking to change to suit themselves.
Pushing the racist button is all they have in their desperate longing for power.
