Despite slight disagreements ‘it's been my joy’ to work with Gov Rankin– Premier
Speaking during a Naturalisation Ceremony on July 11, 2023, Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) said it was a "joy" to work with Governor Rankin.
Governor contributes to efficient BOTC process - Premier Wheatley
“I want to recognise the Governor who has announced that he will be retiring, and certainly he has, I’m not sure how [many] ceremonies you'll be doing,” he added.
Dr Wheatley continued, “But I certainly think we should give the Governor a round of applause for the role that he has played in this process.”
The Premier said the Governor has played a part in ensuring the VI has an efficient and effective process for persons receiving their BOTC status.
“And governor, while every now and again we have a little slight disagreement, I want to let you know it's been my joy to work with you, especially in settings such as these, on important occasions when we're able to, to confer the status on deserving applicants,” he added.
Disagreements
One of the disagreements that went public was in February 2023 when the Governor falsely claimed in a public statement that the Unity Government had the option of calling fresh elections following the release of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) on April 29, 2022, a day after then Premier Andrew A. Fahie was arrested in Miami.
Dr Wheatley had refuted the statement and declared he was not going to let the Governor "bamboozle" the people of the VI.
It was also in February that Premier Wheatley told the public that Governor Rankin was being bluntly untruthful when he laid the blame on the Unity Government and the House of Assembly for the controversial Bill entitled Police Act 2023, reaching the HoA late.

I really dont know which one is worse.
He's only saying that now because of the Governor's impending departure.
Can't trust a thing that comes out the Premier mouth.
They want to enter 12th grade when they even cant graduate from elementary??????
That's what people like you do.
I guess the Christian Counsel must put a petition out for all the people having sex and not yet married, getting bay out of wedlock, etc.
Use what sense you have left and understand that the petition is AGAINST something that could negatively impacts the territory such as the violent lyrics then you is one who defending this Messia character but would be crying about a family member or friend who got killed by a gun then petitioning to put down the guns and stop the violence.
STOP being monkeys following the mASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Furthermore if the premiere or governor or whom ever chooses to have their Gf /fiancé whatever reside with them there’s nothing wrong with that
