DPM Faber 100% Behind Willoughby for Port

DPM Faber isn’t the only one rallying behind Willoughby; he also has the support of Faber’s opponent John Saldivar.  Faber and Saldivar haven’t been known to agree on many things, but one thing they can agree on is who is the best U.D.P. candidate for the Port.  They stand to benefit the most from Peyrefitte’s defeat and in that way, get him out of the leadership race.  Today Faber downplayed the political ploy saying his support for Willoughby is because he believes that Willoughby is the best candidate for the job.

“Philip Willoughby and I go way back. We are from Primary School at Queen Square together, in fact, and I believe that Philip has demonstrated, repeatedly his ability that nobody can question that he is a man of the people and he deserves a shot. If you must know, internally in our party, we have overlooked his ability many times and to our detriment in some instances. So, I absolutely believe that this is his opportunity and that is why I am standing one hundred percent behind him. I believe the people of Port Loyola deserve the kind of leadership that Phillip can bring.”

“You will concede that it is slightly unusual that you and your rival, Mr. Saldivar, found a common cause behind this single candidate?”

Patrick Faber

“Well, that can only mean one thing to me – we both have a good vision and we both know a quality candidate when we see one.”

Reporter

“It has nothing to do with neutralizing Mr. Peyrefitte.”

Patrick Faber

“No. No. He has not declared himself to be a candidate. Although, I understand that Minister Martinez may have done so but we await.”
