Sumaili likens Makebi to Jesus, ‘he’s coming as a servant like’
FORMER Religious and National Guidance minister Godfridah Sumaili has likened Makebi Zulu, a mere Nshima eating mortal to Jesus Christ, the repository of eternal life, saying the lawyer possesses leadership qualities similar to those of the Son of God.
Speaking at a press briefing yesterday, Sumaili said Makebi was coming as a servant of the people, just as Jesus did.
“And at this time, we don’t need a business man or a boss as we have heard. We need a servant. Our Lord Jesus Christ came as a servant. We need someone who can identify with our people, youths, women and those who are in corporate offices and serve the nation with transparency and accountability,” she said.
She claimed that the last four years of the UPND administration had brought nothing but difficulties, with no solutions in sight.
Sumaili further claimed that the UPND had removed the face of God from Zambia and opened the door to dark forces.
“The last four years, Zambia has gone through tribulations. When you remove God from supremacy then you open the door to other forces. Zambians love the Lord and we want to have a leader who will serve the Lord. That way our future is secure,” she said.
She also accused the UPND of dividing the nation, insisting that Makebi was the right person for the country’s top job.
“We need somebody who can respect the rule of law and unite the opposition and nation. He’s humble, he’s loyal and a servant. He can bring us together. The hope that we have today is this man, honourable Makebi Zulu,” stated the former minister.

Christians are told to emulate our Lord Jesus Christ. if Makebi Zulu is a Christian he must emulate Jesus Christ.
Is there anything wrong with these statements?
Laughable to say the least. Can you even compare Zulu to HH? Even from whatever angle? A month after declaring intention to vie for presidency, you cant see any mass following for him. But look at the massive following of HH even b4 he finished his statement pronouncing his intentions to run for presidency.
This lady causes the name of God to be blasphemed. Her Ministry was the most useless ever.
At the time she was earning free tax payers’ money, the christian faith was being torn to shreds by her government. They even introduced a day of prayer, fasting, repentance, reconciliation, et al while they were busy dividing the nation along ethnic and regional lines, killing innocent people and hurling insults at those who disagreed with them.
During your time in government, insults became a currency and those who were skilled at this dubious trade were richly rewarded in PF.
PF is the true representation of hypocrisy, lies and lawlessness.
HH has done a lot for this country while Makebi Zulu has done nothing. How does he even campaign with a corpse in the mortuary? Is it not the reason people have nicknamed him, malukula? You are blaspheming Madame by comparing a mortal man with God. Christ is not a-politician, please leave him out of politics. And HH didn’t find any face of God when he came to power and he didn’t remove any. How do you remove something which was not even there? If it was there, it was not handed over to him. What he removed was the Ministry of Religious Affairs, unless you are telling us that the Religious Affairs Ministry was the face God? God doesn’t need a Ministry in the government of man, that’s losing direction. The Ministry failed to serve the interests of all Zambians apart from the few. No wonder we are seeing this amount of frustration in some Clergy because they are neither here nor there. No Ministry for Religious Affairs and no Christians for Hakainde. If you want vehicles, just go to him politely, he can give you, if he can give Chiefs vehicles, do you think he can fail to give you?

Does this sentence say Makebi is emulating Jesus Christ?
There is nothing special about Makebi. We know him as malukula who has abandoned the body of Lungu to come and fight for the PF presidency. That itself speaks volumes about Mr.Zulu
