There is nothing that would even come as a dream that Tasila Lungu can be president of this country, says PF Lusaka provincial chairlady Charity Banda.
And Banda said those supporting Chishimba Kambwili for the PF presidency are in the majority.
In an audio posted in PF WhatsApp blogs and seen by Daily Revelation, Banda urged her colleagues to guard against what she termed as propaganda from the UPND and even among themselves as PF, which she said was aimed at sowing confusion within their ranks.
She offered a disguised defence of Tasila while disqualifying her presidential credentials at the same time.
“About this news they are talking about Tasila, Tasila is innocent in this news. And there is nothing that would even come as a dream at any time to say Tasila Lungu can be a president of this country,” Banda said. “Kwena namukanina, just the way the story has been written and the picture they have used, me being a provincial official, provincial chairlady Charity Katongo Banda diehard PF, I am seeing that those who are causing us to fight are a lot. So it’s up to us to humble ourselves and see where we are going.”
Banda said recently there was also “propaganda” flying around that the convention had been cancelled, which she said could not be true.
“So let’s not follow propaganda, iyo Tasila shani (No, Tasila this)! Awee mwebantu kwena nangu kwena tapasoswa, Tasila Lungu umwana munono uwamailo eo bese batwike ichafina ifyo (Even If one may not want to talk, can they surely put such a heavy load on Tasila, a child who was born just yesterday)?” Banda said. “Let’s not start hating each other. They now want us to start hating whoever they mention. We have spoken and our word is final. Fwebakwa Kambwili tiyeni tutalale tondolo tuletamba (We who belong to Kambwili let’s remain silent and just watch) we have have spoken and we are the majority no matter what.”
Banda said “abo abalesabaila balekeni basabaile (those who are hallucinating let them hallucinate).”
“Us it’s CK, even the convention is going to come. Even the leaders have heard, every person has ears. It can take a bit of time but let’s learn to be humble. God will help us. Let’s not follow this propaganda…infact we have got an advantage. Ukufilwa kwaba Bally ebusuma bwesu (We have an advantage that President Hichilema has failed and his failure is our advantage),” said Banda. “Whatever he is doing bad we must focus on providing checks and balances regardless the differences in the party. Ba mwana CK lets be strong. Ever since I joined politics I know what I believe in and I know the best thing will come to us. This party belongs to all of us, we are not visitors to it. And let’s not have short temper, let’s embrace everybody.”
