November 7, 2012 – His Excellency Mr Michael Chilufya Sata, President of the Republic of Zambia, has congratulated President Barack Obama on his re-election as President of the United States of America.
“On behalf of the Zambian people, I wish to extend my warm and heartfelt congratulations to you on your re-election as President of the United States of America in what has been a closely contested election campaign,” read the excerpt from President Sata’s letter to President Obama.
The Head of State stated that President Obama’s re-election was an affirmation of the trust and confidence that the people of the United States have in his leadership, ability and competence.
“I recognise the significance of your endorsement for a second term of leadership as an important opportunity to further the close cooperation between Zambia and the United States at this critical time in the political, social and economic evolution of the African Continent,” President Sata stated.
“Therefore, I look forward to continue working closely with you as we endeavour to strengthen the existing warm bonds of friendship between our two countries and peoples.”

Such are the lessons one MUST learn. It is possible to rise above Race, Tribal or opressive bickering & triamph to greatness in life. Haters will be there, But so shall be Victories, it is possible even for HH, Nevers, Sata or any of Us to cerebrate!

Lessons from Romney: $900Bn into Campaign but loses & concedes gracefully, Sata NEVER conceded. HH 28 cows & K70M into Campaign but will NEVER concedes. Nevers a church & party sacrificed then fired twice, will he EVER concede?

Mitt Romney: A lesson to all opposition party in zambia. Lets take a look at last year’s opposition’s work PF WAS strong unlike today’s upnd/mmd why simply either because the opposition fail to settle and do their home work or why they lost and how they can improve on their manifesto, agenda and perfomance of last elections.but are busy on stone throwing and forgetting to convience the people strategically. Sata (PF) is like obama 2nd term.it will be in power if not surpass unip kk’s grip to power or mmd if need be or if you like it like that.

Romney an Old man spelt out his master plan to kick jump the USA economy. America rejected him for a useful youthful OBAMA.
In Zambia, we still cling on to Pre Independence fossils to lead us. They were fossils at Independence and still Fossils NOW. yaba….

The Prophet you are right Sata was never mentioned on CNN.And come to think of it,when Sata won elections Obama never congratulated Sata so why is Sata jumping around about over the USA elections
