SATA Rejects Endorsements, Says Its Dictatorial ‘Those With Ambitions Should Challenge me, Its Democracy’
SATA
And Sata has challenged PF officials interested in challenging him to come out in the open.
Speaking before a joint Cabinet and PF Central committee meeting at State house this morning, Sata said anyone in the Patriotic Front is free to aspire for the presidency.
Sata has since challenged PF senior officials harbouring presidential ambitions to declare their intentions rather than attacking each other in the public.
Mr Sata has also cautioned Cabinet Ministers not to keep quite but respond to all allegations from the opposition political parties against government.
President Sata expressed disappointed that Cabinet Ministers have been quiet despite all the noise coming from the opposition.
He has however said PF members will have to propose his name ahead of that convention and that no one must be stopped from having presidential ambitions.
The President has however urged party members that they must not be afraid to come out in the open to declare interest because the Patriotic Front is a democratic Party.

This thing of those with aspirations to come out in the open is like inviting a girl to your house where you live alone as a horny bachelor and promise that when she comes, you will just shake her hand.

HEAD SCRATCHING! Despite who is the greater devil between GBM and Kabimba, between the two antagonists the one scratching his head in confusion is GBM. For now, Kabimba can smile. That is what a lack of education can make you do. Leap without thinking. The President has clearly chosen to side with Kabimba.

I think this is not the time for useless and dictatorial endorsements but for service delivery to the populace. I commend the President for bringing this useless debate to an end. Now GBM and WK go for work and let all Kabovas get a life somewhere, not ifyabu useful *****.

AT LAST THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN, LET PF MEMBERS SHOW MATURITY BY RESPECTING OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY OTHERS WITHIN THE PARTY. THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT WHOEVER WANTS TO CHALLENGE HIM SHOULD DO SO BUT CAREFULLY. KABIMBA SHOULD TONE DOWN AND EXPLAIN THE POLICIES OF THE PF TO THE GRASSROOTS AND ALSO WORK ON RE-MOBILIZING TO AVOID LOSING ELECTIONS

We thank you Mr. President for quenching the fire between GBM and WK I am sure they will now and forever give the nation a rest for their leadership squabbles, it is now open for every Tom Jim and Jack, and once more for realizing Zambia being a democratic nation where by its citizens are free to exercise their rights thank you so much my president sir.

HE MCS said that the endorsement issue must stop as no one has proposed his name to be endorsed, what he meant is GBM should propose his name for endorsement, so abena Winter ni mu ndoti, let him be retired and a new SG be found, Zayelo ni chee!!!

Why has it taken the president HE MCS this long to respond to the endorsements. He was watching people ripping each other and bringing confusion and infighting in the PF Party. It is like waking up from slumber. Leadership was lacking.

Atlast MCS has given his stance. As much as im yo fan yo excellence, if I were u i would not stand 4 a 2nd term. Leave a legacy 4 yoself like Mandela. Im sure u undanstand what i mean. Its free advice dat not many would b willing to gîve u. Instead start grooming some1 2 take over, some1 with a strong character lyk u…

If u want humiliation, go ahead and challenge Sata. What happened to Kavindele when he tried to challenge KK will be repeated. Kavindele was branded with all sorts of insults, name calling, some female cadres undressing before him, etc. PF belongs to Sata since he formed it single handed. No one leads PF until after his two terms. Mark my word.

This is excellent Mr. President, let those who want to challenge you come out in the open and face you. Why should people start talking about endorsement when you are mandated for two terms. This is too early. God bless
