GBM Fires Warning Shots ‘I won’t Leave PF; The Same Way SATA Has Kept Kabimba, He should Keep Him too’
His statement follows:
To paid-up calls for my resignation from the Patriotic Front (PF), I will wait for President Michael Sata to ask me to leave the Party. I am not going to be moved by those paid to call for my resignation from PF. I am not going anywhere and I will imitate my friend Wynter Kabimba who has since stayed. The same way the President he has kept Kabimba, that is how he is going to keep me. I have not done any wrong in the party unless a resignation from a Ministerial position is now wrong-doing in the PF.
I’m a very principled human being and I will continue being this way. I recall once when late President Levy Mwanawasa (MHSRIP) and I had a problem because I had invited President Sata (then in the Opposition) to my child’s wedding. Later I was asked why I invited him (President Sata) and I stated then and still state that ‘blood is thicker than water’. How can it then be that the same President Sata I defended at that point should chastise me for standing with and for family? My principle is that no one will separate me from my family. The same way that President Sata has kept Kabimba is the same way that he is going to keep me.
The same way that President Sata has kept Kabimba is the same way that he is going to keep me.
“Doubting Thomas’s” writing about the end of my political career may wish to know that my political career has not been derailed by the turn of events before and after my resignation as Minister of Defense. On the contrary, my political life has had a REBIRTH. Editorials and headlines claiming that GBM is finished would be wise to know that IF it was God’s wish that I will become President, it will happen. It’s not over until God says its over. As, if and when I choose to exercise that right is my prerogative as a citizen of Zambia. Currently, I am busy doing what the electorates elected me to do-development.
Let me remind those hired to call for my resignation that I know them and I know the one who has hired them. So I will not be defeated by their calls because I have so many friends in Kasama, countrywide and Diaspora who have seen nothing wrong with the decision I took to resign the ministerial position. To those who want to meet me on the political field, I will meet you. Just wait!
To my friends here and elsewhere who have stood by me, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Let us continue to do what is right for mother Zambia.
God bless Zambia

allow me space on GBMs resignation from Cabinet. those of us who follow these issues critically would say thats a good sign for the PF because GBM thought that becoz he has money then he can manipulate people and get away with whatever he wishes. I think it is high time people become leaders becasue they want to serve and not be bosses. the way he treats his workers at his GBM milling Co. he thinks he can do the same to other areas? I like the guy but I would not support insubordination. As a cabinet minister you rehearse with de Head of state for any intentions\

The man has audacity to say he is “very principled”!Principled men do not batter wives,period! You made you decision GBM and we heard, so let’s move on to more productive matters like hunger levels in Sioma.

Why shall President keep you? What an audacious person? If you have differed to the extent that you resign and show contempt to the appointing authority who happens to be the president of the nation and party, the best you can do is to be polite and show humility and wait for your time. But to openly challenge a person who happens to be commander in chief, sends wrong signals. Differences in a family are healthy and open up new vistas of relationships and opportunities but arrogance, contempt and insubordination deserve discipline and let the party organ decide this in their next meeting.

Every person counts because no one is perfect Hon mwila resigned as deputy minister and no one called for his resignation. PF is a national party which does not belong to an individual whith hiden agenda GBM IS GOING NO WHERE PERIOD

The only person to end this war is Mr Sata since they know each other very well. If they want to fight, let them do so we shall be judges since we are tired of nonsense in PF as a part. It was Kabimba last time now its GUM, when are they going to deliver to their campaign promises? SHAME MANDALAS. Opposition parties, wake up.

All ministers are appointed under oath and have to show their allegiance to the appointing authority. remember GBM to keep the sensitive info to yourself. Do not be like MPOMBO that almost revealed our military weakness to the world. you had an opportunity to see the might of Zambia.
