That’s our license fee people #Apprentice." How are they in Antigua for ep 1 #TheApprentice".

The whole disastrous and contentious airlift has been done at the time of Antigua’s election when over 1000 Africans will be in Antigua, although the airline has threatened several more flights before the Election Day.
