EASTERNERS PLOT MASS EXODUS FROM UPND … As Bizwayo Nkunika says people outside Zambezi regions are crying
Prominent people from Eastern Province who have been supportive of the ruling UPND have been meeting to plot their exodus from the ruling party after feeling ignored and left out on appointments in preference for people from the Zambezi regions.
And former permanent secretary and High Commissioner Colonel Bizwayo Nkunika, who has been mentioned among the aggrieved easterners, said no one could pretend that people from outside the Zambezi regions feel left out, something he urged the UPND administration to…
Yamunyokola njala Nkunika. He was eating alone in PF but now he wants to use other people to gain recognition and appointment. Be strong baba; this is not for the faint hearted. Your PF stole big and the coffers are empty!
Easterners have never been upnd. Their heart lies in PF and those pretending to be upnd are just waiting for the chance to leave.
The people of Eastern Province have the right to join or leave any party if that’s their wish but we shall not tolerate any individual or people who want to hold the government at ransom. Why asking for special treatment or giving conditions to the government when all of us are feeling the same pain. Last time, the same Easterners wanted the President to give them the Foreign Affairs portfolio after the resignation of Hon. Kakubo. Now they are saying people outside Zambezi regions are suffering but that’s not true. There is nothing those in Zambezi regions are enjoying which other Zambians are not enjoying. If you know any, please feel free to mention it, but what I know is that HH has given free education to every one in the country. He has given the same amount of CDF to all the 156 constituencies, paid all retirees, has recruited people from all the ten provinces, he has restored meal allowances to all University students, he is building Chiefs’ palaces countrywide, he has just promised to build universities in all the Provinces which do not have public universities and that includes Eastern Province, so where is the crying or complaint coming from here? HH and his ND government are committed to develop all the corners of this country something which others before him had failed to do. This man means well for this country, just leave him to realize his vision and after his two terms, this country will see the development that have never been seen before. Former HC, Nkunika is a person many Zambians hold in high esteem, why is he sinking so low claiming that Easterners are suffering more than others? For example, this year, the drought affected more than half of the country, there is countrywide load shedding and we are all feeling the effects in all the regions of Zambia. The drought or elnino is natural, it’s not caused by HH or UPND, they should not be blamed on something they no control. So leaving UPND will not solve anything, hard work is the solution and the resources are now at our disposal more than at any time in the history of this country.
Nkunika is just one vote baba, not Eastern province. when he was eating in the previous regime did he share with all the people of Eastern province. If he wants to leave, he can go but should not create an impression like Easterners are in his pocket to do his biding. Personal ambitions should not take precedence over building National Unity.
Tribalism (regionalism) is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
Mr. Nkunika like Mr. Muhabi Lungu, is a former diplomat and used to the easy life. They want to use the people of Eastern Provence as pawns in their power games.
When they were busy enjoying the good life as diplomats, they never mentioned the suffering of Easterners. Their concern is their own welfare.
