There are some salient facts to consider: Tivoli Gardens is a Seaga creation.
,"What is happening in TG (Tivoli Gardens) is no accident; it was built for a specific purpose. That purpose was to maintain Edward Seaga in a position of power ... Tivoli Gardens was like an evil, controlled behavioural science project. The problem is, it worked. Tivoli is not a good idea gone bad ... it's an idea working perfectly."
Seaga resigned from the leadership of the JLP and as member of parliament for west Kingston and leader of the opposition in 2005, believing that no one was worthy or able to replace him. Golding was elected to the leadership of the party, elected to represent western Kingston and marginally won the 2007 general election to become prime minister of Jamaica.
At the heart of Seaga's vociferous hostility, may be his peeve that his protégé is jumping ship and therefore destroying his (Seaga's) work and legacy. Seaga recruited the graduating Bruce Golding straight out of the University of the West Indies for Golding's father's constituency upon Tacius Golding's retirement. Seaga gave Golding the powerful garrison-building Ministry of Housing and Construction as the youngest minister in his cabinet, and one of the youngest ever. And, Golding discharged himself well in his constituency of central St Catherine. Golding rose to the chairmanship of the party and could not have done so without the blessing of its autocratic leader.
This 'betrayal' of the most powerful and sacrosanct symbol of the party and monument to Seaga's leadership of it - Tivoli Gardens - is intolerable ... unforgivable!
