CURRENTLY, ZAMBIA HAS THE RICHEST PRESIDENT
…yet the POOREST in terms of leadership – Greyford Monde
Katete, Sunday, January 22, 2023 ( Smart Eagles )
Patriotic Front (PF) Presidential Hopeful Hon Greyford Monde says the Presidency is an ordination from God.
Hon Monde maintained that he is optimistic of scooping the opposition party top job.
He stated that he is not intimidated by those that are percieved to be giants.
The potential PF Leader said this when he featured on Mphangwe FM in Eastern Province last night.
“I believe that there is nothing like being a gaint when it comes to leadership. Sometimes we mistake the word giant for people who are not even popular in the right way,” he said.
“I think I would rather not be a popular person with bad behaviour. I would rather be an unpopular person with good behaviour. Among the people I’m in the race with, yes you might say they are giants in a particular way but I want to tell you that the Presidency is an ordination from God.”
Hon Monde said people just need to know who he is.
He said from the list of those who are contesting, he is amongst the most qualified candidates.
“It is God who appoints leaders. The same way he chose David in the bible. While people look at someone’s height and how that person looks, God chooses his own a certain way,” he said.
“I will tell you that to gage me as non giant, because this question has been coming several times, I think that people just needed to know who Greyford Monde. Look at the list of those that are contesting. You will be shocked that Greyford Monde is actually the highly qualified or in the brackets of the most highly qualified in the brackets of leadership.”
He added that he is not intimidated by those percieved to be rich.
Hon Monde maintained that wealth is not a determining factor for one to be President.
“There are some people who could be rated billionaires but I’m not threatened about that. I’m very confident that Zambians don’t look at someone’s wealth,” he said.
“We have the richest President. But while he is the richest President, he is the poorest in terms of leadership. I am prepared and I know that I’m not scared of any person. Zambians are looking for a leader, it’s not a rich contest.”
