Defence Minister Edgar Lungu has distanced himself from suggestions that he wants to succeed President Michael Sata.
Mr. Lungu has since denounced the Facebook page opened in his name dubbed ‘Edgar Lungu for 2016’.
He says the Facebook page is a creation of the enemies of the PF who want to sow seeds of anarchy in the party.
Addressing Journalists during a media briefing in Lusaka today, Mr. Lungu who is PF Secretary General says the creation of the Facebook page is malicious and the work of the enemy with an intention of creating an impression that there is a succession crisis in the PF.
Mr. Lungu states that he has no Facebook account and he has no intentions whatsoever to create an account in the foreseeable future.
Mr. Lungu, who is also Justice Minister, adds that it is common knowledge that his undivided loyalty is totally devoted to President Sata and the PF.
He has since warned individuals behind the creation of the page that very soon their agenda and related activities will be brought to light.
By broadcast time, over three hundred Facebook users had liked the ‘Edgar Lungu for 2016’ Facebook page.
And Mr. Lungu has expressed happiness that the opposition political parties in the country will be part of the 50 years Golden Jubilee celebrations slated for 24th October.
The Justice Minister says Jubilee celebrations should not be viewed as a political event but a national event.
Mr. Lungu says he is glad to hear that the UPND and MMD will take part in the Jubilee celebrations.

Lungu for president 2016,wht of tutu chikala
Anyway whichever way we may look at it, PF needs a successor. Whoever created a Facebook page did well to provoke the debate.
Edger Lungu can indeed be the one.Anything is possible in Zambia.Even Frank Mutubila and Kalusha Bwalya can be president.
Where has father Bwalya gone? Has he gone to raise money for 2016 campaign?
