Christlyn Moore, leader of the To­ba­go For­wards (TF)—now af­fil­i­at­ed with One To­ba­go Voice (OTV)—blames the leader of the Pro­gres­sive De­mo­c­ra­t­ic Pa­tri­ots (PDP), Wat­son Duke, for fail­ure to unite the par­ties.

In re­sponse, Duke throws shade at OTV call­ing them "po­lit­i­cal­ly dead".

Moore joined with To­ba­go Or­ga­ni­za­tion of the Peo­ple (head­ed by Ash­worth Jack) and the Plat­form of Truth (head­ed by Ho­choy Charles), to form OTV.

In a Ju­ly 14th 2020 let­ter ad­dressed to Duke, and post­ed on her Face­book page, Moore wad­ed in­to Duke.

"It has been re­gret­table that we have not been able to col­lab­o­rate... this fail­ure rests sole­ly on you," Moore wrote.

She ac­cus­es Duke of "mis­man­age­ment of the truth" and not­ed that dur­ing her en­coun­ters with him over the past sev­en years, she "has not been able to trust" him.

She says state­ments at­trib­uted to him in the me­dia about the PDP's re­la­tion­ship with OTV, are "mis­lead­ing and com­plete­ly false".

Moore says she has had enough with Duke and their re­la­tion­ship is "now at the end".

She makes a promise:

"I will re­spond to all at­tacks that you di­rect my way. I have held my tongue thus far..."

Duke ac­knowl­edged see­ing the let­ter.

He told Guardian Me­dia:

"My moth­er taught me not to talk to the dead, Christlyn Moore, Ho­choy Charles, and Ash­worth Jack, are all po­lit­i­cal­ly dead."
