- IT is not a secret that some members of the United Kwacha Alliance (UKA) posing to be in charge are just pace holders used by Edgar Lungu to propagate his fancied comeback and have no influence on what the group stands for, Central Province UPND Mobilization Committee Member Aubrey Muzaza has charged.
- Speaking to The Scoop, Mr. Muzaza said what transpired in Kitwe last week where the Citizens First (CF) leader Harry Kalaba claimed to have held a rally which turned out to be Mr. Lungu’s show, simply showed that the rest of the members of the Association were just holding fort for the former president and had very little say on the affairs of the association.
- He said all those party presidents who were parading themselves under UKA had sold their popularity to Lungu and that should the Alliance crumble, they will have nothing to offer to Zambians as they had opted to stand with the very man who messed up the country and got rejected by the Zambians.
- He said political leaders in the alliance were pretending to be in charge when the truth of the matter is that Mr. Lungu had already positioned himself to stand in 2026 while using them as cholaboys and girls.
- According to Mr. Muzaza, the former president wanted to make a comeback because he had failed to accept that he lost the 2021 elections.
- “It’s unfortunate the former president is going around the country misbehaving. ECL is setting a bad example to young politicians and he is going to lose the little respect he has remained with. He should listen to people who are advising him to conduct himself like a former Head of State.
- “It is either Mr. Lungu has bad advisors, or he is a wrong person to advise but I believe he is a difficult person to advise because he has proved that he is arrogant looking at how he has been behaving lately,” Mr. Muzaza said.
- He further alleged that the statement attributed to Mr. Lungu stating that if President Hakainde Hichilema consulted him, things wouldn’t have been bad was an insult to the current leadership because most of the problems the country was going through was as a result of him refusing to listen when Zambians advised him against reckless borrowing.
- He said that the New Dawn Government had nothing progressive to learn from the previous regime.
- And Mr. Muzaza also charged that if the drought was experienced during PF time, the country was going to be in a worse situation than it is today.
- He said the New Dawn Government was doing everything possible to see to it that citizens did not go hungry despite the drought which affected the country.
