WASHINGTON, D.C.., Bahamas Prime Minister Philip E. Davis posted a collection of photos on Facebook on Friday, September 1, 2023, on the swearing in of Her Excellency Cynthia A. Pratt in Nassau, Bahamas, as the 12th Governor-General of the commonwealth of The Bahamas. Given the historical significance of this occasion, I decide to share the photos, along with the Prime Minister’s comments, with readers of my online publication, BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean:
Prime Minister Davis posted the photos with the following narrative:
Today, we honour a woman who has served in so many capacities – and with such dignity and grace – that she earned the name “Mother. Cynthia “Mother” Pratt has served her way to greatness.
As she now rises as our nation’s Governor-General, it is my distinct pleasure to speak in support of an unparalleled nation-builder, community leader, and civic icon
