PF acting secretary general Nickson Chilangwa says President Hakainde Hichilema should stop running the country like his personal farm.
Chilangwa, the Kawambwa Central PF member of parliament, was speaking during the launch of the party’s women’s movement in Ndola on Sunday.
“Stop behaving and running Zambia like a personal farm; this is not your company! Stop running Zambia like your personal farm and we should not be intimidated. We are here for a long war. This nonsense should come to an end now,” Chilangwa said.
“Hakainde Hichilema, if what you promised the people of Zambia…go back to repent. I thought when he went to meet the Pope, he was going to repent. Alas, he just went to take pictures. I have never seen a government that loses popularity in three months!”
Chilangwa told the gathering that “I bring you greetings from president Edgar Lungu.”
“Does it pain you to miss him?” Chilangwa asked.
“When I told president Lungu that I am going to see the women on the Copperbelt, he said ‘greet the people because I miss them’.”
Suddenly, Chilangwa got emotional and went on to attack President Hichilema and the UPND.
“A person who is your husband and beats (you) up every day and in the night he wants to ukutonya ibele (cuddle with your breasts)? What nonsense?” he exclaimed.
Chilangwa also claimed that President Hichilema failed to evacuate former president Rupiah Banda, who succumbed to colon cancer at his Lusaka home on March 11.
Banda was interred last Friday in Lusaka at the presidential burial site, Embassy Park.
“When he (Banda) was sick, president Edgar Lungu could release the presidential chopper and let him use it for treatment,” Chilangwa said.
“But this man…where on earth can a former president die in the house? He requested to be evacuated, but he (President Hichilema) said use a bus.”
Chilangwa further said the PF knows the tactics that the UPND used to win the elections.
“We know the tactics the UPND used to win the elections. We know who they used. Look at him when he is lying!” said Chilangwa.
“I heard some woman in Parliament saying the shortage of medicine in hospitals is caused by the PF. What sort of foolishness is this?”
