MALICE, LIES ‘LL NOT HELP UPND
… Just face the angry Zambians you lied to.
By Edwin Lifwekelo
THE Patriotic Front Party is dismayed at the blatant lies and malicious propaganda the UPND is publishing on social media using its rogue online publications run by its secretariate and State House.
We want to make it clear to the peaceful Zambian people that our Chairman for Information and publicity Hon. Raphael Nakachinda, our former Secretary General Hon. Davis Mwila and our Acting Secretary General Hon. Nickson Chilangwa have never issued any statements to any reporter from the unethical UPND online publications.
These childish and poorly written false articles and fabricated statements being circulated on social media are aimed at tarnishing the names of PF leaders and creating a false perception that there is division in the biggest opposition party.
They must be ignored as pure rubbish from a desperate regime.
We are fully aware that the lies are aimed at weakening our party, which is an illusion.
Even non-political observers are laughing at the clueless regime’s desparation.
It’s shocking that a political party in power enjoying massive technical and financial support from its foreign masters who funded its campaign and continue to bankroll it has failed to come up with an effective and decent communication strategy to maintain the support of voters.
A party that has been boasting of being the best government ever is lamentably failing to use communication to deal with the growing public anger against its pathetic rule and the high cost of living.
We are aware that the fact that the PF is still strong and is getting stronger by the day is giving the UPND and its foreign masters sleepless nights.
This is why it has resorted to using its amartuerish online media outlets such as the Zambian Watchdog, Koswe and others to circulate falsehoods and fake social media conversations against the PF and its leadership.
It is not a secret that the media teams at State House and the UPND Secretariate are under the full control of foreigners who do not understand the people of Zambia. Zambians have been relegated to the sidelines.
Our resolve as PF is to foster unity and love among members and ensure that we go to the convention as a united force.
The only reason these desperate sections of the UPND party and State machinery are publishing lies and malice is that they are scared stiff to see that we have remained a united PF as the flagship of the opposition yet they had declared it dead and buried after the elections.
We have remained formidable and a force to reckon with. The UPND is confused and frightened that the massive support it enjoyed from Zambians, especially the youth, in 2021 is rapidly evaporating after failing to honour the promises it made.
The PF is not interested in the divisive and regional politics the UPND continues to thrive on. The ruling party is publicly pontificating about peace and national unity while at the same time using its rougue online publications to sow disunity and hatred against individual opposition leaders and their parties.
Our simple advice to the failed regime is: go and face the angry Zambians you lied to. Stop wasting your time on lies and hate mongering which will not save your failed regime from their wrath.
