Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s resignation letter to Governor-General Grand Chief Sir Bob Dadae delivered to Government House yesterday morning:
“ My dear Governor General,
I hereby tender my resignation as the Prime Minister of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, effective immediately.
It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve this Nation and lead the Government for almost eight years.
We have delivered profound accomplishments during out Government, through a policy agenda that has transformed our nation. The most important of these achievements are the issues that improve the lives of the children, women and men of our country.
We have enabled more than a million more children to attend school through free education, most of them girls, and we have expanded universal healthcare that has saved many lives.
We have delivered more critical infrastructure than at any time in the history of our country, particularly in remote and rural areas.
This includes the construction of many new teachers training colleges, new nurses training colleges, as well as new airports, jetties, and roads across the country.
This has created greater freedoms and opportunities for our people to travel, to expand business, and it has attracted billions of Kina in international investment that is creating more jobs. Our Government has further transformed our country’s global engagement. We have strengthened relations with our traditional trading partners and built new friendships.
Five years ago when the leaders of APEC member countries awarded the hosting of APEC 2018 to PNG, there were a number of critics who said PNG could never deliver a summit of this magnitude. We proved them all wrong.
Through 2018, and culminating with the APEC Leaders’ Summit and APEC CEO Summit in November last year, the eyes of the world were on our country.
The investment opportunities in our economy, and the tourism potential of our great country was seen around the world. The benefits of hosting APEC will continue to be delivered for many years through increased investment and job creation.
We will further experience the benefits of the electrification project that we have on as the next Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea is elected by the National Parliament.
In the interests of ongoing political stability in our country, and the effect this has on economic confidence and social unity, I leave my position with pride in my heart and gratitude to the people of our nation.
God Bless Papua New Guinea.
