KAUNDA WAS RIGHT, WE MADE A MISTAKE VOTING FOR HH — ACKIM NJOBVU
Democratic Union (DU) President Ackim Antony Njobvu has launched a blistering attack on President Hakainde Hichilema, saying recent remarks attributed to the Head of State vindicate warnings once raised by Zambia’s founding President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda and confirm that Zambians made a mistake by voting UPND into power.
Njobvu was reacting to President Hichilema’s statement made in Southern Province, in which the President reportedly suggested that the province would “suffer” if he were voted out of office. The DU leader described the remarks as reckless, divisive and deeply embarrassing for the nation.
“I feel ashamed that HH is our President today,” Njobvu said. “A President cannot stand before citizens and tell one province that they will suffer if he loses power. That is not leadership; that is intimidation and division.”
He stressed that Zambia has no place for regional or tribal threats, warning that such language undermines national unity and damages the country’s international standing.
“This embarrassment is not only to our citizens but even to the international community. No serious international partner wants to hear a President promoting division in a country that preaches unity,” he said.
“KAUNDA WARNED US” Njobvu argued that the President’s remarks now validate fears previously dismissed by many Zambians.
“We thought KK was lying. Today, what he warned about is becoming clear. We can now confirm that what Kaunda said was true,” he stated, adding that voting for President Hichilema was “a mistake.”
He rejected any suggestion that Southern Province or the Tonga people are hated, noting his personal ties to the region.
“Nobody hates the people of Southern Province. I was born in Livingstone. My brothers are married there. How can anyone claim that Zambians want to see Southern Province suffer?” he asked.
The DU leader called on the President to immediately retract the statement and urged presidential advisers to intervene.
“Somebody must sit him down. He needs elder advisers who can tell him that what he did was not right,” Njobvu said. “If he does not withdraw this statement, it puts him in a very bad situation.”
He further claimed that the remarks have alienated voters and could cost UPND support across the country.
“THIS IS NOT WHAT UPND STOOD FOR” Njobvu invoked the late Anderson Mazoka, founder of UPND, arguing that the party’s current posture contradicts its original ideals.
“Even Anderson Mazoka would be shaking his head. UPND was founded to unite Zambians and bring development to all provinces, regardless of tribe,” he said. “What HH is promoting is the exact opposite.”
“A President cannot govern by threatening sections of the country. I urge Zambians not to vote for UPND anymore. Zambia deserves leadership that unites, not divides.” adds Njobvu

Thats the only message you have for Zambians,HH this HH that.Kaunda never said anything about HH stop misleading people.People who appreciate what HH has achieved is not you and you have never been.They will vote for him massively. Keep on lamenting and making noise. Am doubting your citizenship as a pure Zambian.Possibly a Malawian/Zimbabwean.You can never win any election,you are a bit dull and shallow boy
You are such an idiot. You think Zambia belong to you Tonga people alone. To you, anyone that disagrees with your ka conman tribalist god must be a foreigner or tribalist. Yet you try to hide under a Bemba name with no shame. Thankfully, not all Tonga people think like you, and they are equally tired of your ka Herdman.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
