Press Statement for Immediate Release

THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION CRISIS AT STATE HOUSE BUT A NEW WAY OF INTERACTING WITH VOTERS
On behalf of the NDC members under the leadership of Josephs Akafumba, we wish to defend His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema from unfounded criticism by the usual critics in the opposition. These critics have condemned President Hichilema for holding an interactive meeting with citizens on Radio Phoenix contending that there is a communication crisis at State House.
We totally disagree with this malicious assertion and clearly state that this is actually a new and effective way of interacting with voters. President Hichilema has introduced a novel way of communicating with voters by getting their contact mobile numbers for further follow up action. President Hichilema is truly an effective communicator worth emulating by every genuine politician.
Coming to the usual malicious critics, we wish to advise Kabushi Member of Parliament Bowman Lusambo that each leader is differently gifted by our creator- almighty God.
Lusambo may wish to recall that he entered politics in a comical way by calling himself as an MMD-Die Hard. This later earned him a position in the PF where he renamed himself as Chief Bootlicker. However, Lusambo’s boot licking has no place today after the devasting loss of his hero.
As for Given Lubinda, let him not continue in this band-wagon of senseless critics. Its high time Lubinda exorcised himself from the gutter politics of the PF.
Lubinda needs to realize that he has served in key ministerial positions which include Agriculture and most recently Justice. Lubinda is actually a likeable person who is sadly messing up his presidential ambitions with his lumpenera behavior.
Fellow citizens, we are extremely concerned with the third criticizer- Raphael Nakachinda because of his public dislike for the UPND Alliance. Nakachinda has failed to accept that the PF was overwhelmingly rejected by Zambian voters. He thinks that by being nasty, the same voters may vote them back in 2026. What a miscalculation! On our part, we don’t understand why a man who claims to be pastor can be so vengeful. Let Nakachinda tone down and realize that Zambians despise such hateful messages.
Fellow citizens, we don’t have much to say about the fourth faultfinder who has not heeded our earlier advice to stop working as a lone ranger. We are referring to Sean Tembo who has continued to be a senseless critic despite failing to field a parliamentary candidate in the Kaumbwe Constituency by-election. Mr. Tembo please heed our advice and concentrate on membership recruitment to grow your political party.
