My Father Is Supporting Edgar Lungu Out Of Selfish Reasons -Andrew Banda
Andrew Banda says his father is supporting Edgar Lungu out of selfish reasons.
And Andrew says farmers in Eastern Province have vowed to vote the Patriotic Front out of government because it has killed the agriculture sector. Commenting on Rupiah Banda’s decision to back Lungu ahead of this month’s presidential election, Andrew said the move was an indication that the former president did not love the country.
“Anybody endorsing Edgar is doing it for themselves and not for Mother Zambia. If the old man is going to come out clearly that he endorses Edgar, then he does not love Zambia because Edgar does not have the material in him to run this country,” he said.
Andrew, an ardent supporter of the opposition UPND, said Lungu lacked the qualities of a leader who could meet people’s aspirations. Banda recently travelled with Lungu to Rwanda and Nigeria to source for campaign funds and is currently in Chipata to drum up support for the PF candidate. And Andrew says farmers have resolved to reject the PF owing to its poor agriculture policies.
Andrew, who served as a diplomat to India during his father’s tenure, further said farmers were aggrieved with the PF for destroying the agriculture sector. He said farmers in Eastern Province had been subjected to utter poverty following the government’s failure to pay for their maize produce sold to the Food Reserve Agency on time. “I was on the Eastern Province campaign tour with HH (Hakainde Hichilema) and the killing of the agriculture sector in the area is what will make Edgar lose to HH.
I am an Easterner and Lungu is my brother because we are from this place, but in all honesty, in comparison terms, we cannot compare Lungu to HH,” said Andrew.

I think its high time Andrew left his dad alone. Young man leave your father alone. You may be intelligent in your own wisdom but please have respect for your father. Stop discrediting your father in the media.
RB is not too old to be controlled by Andrew. Andrew must remember that his father in a seasoned politician and diplomat.
I am surprised. Every time Andrew opens his mouth, he speaks ill of his own. Why?
Andrew, if you have issues with Dad, please follow him home and if he does not listen from you from home, leave him alone.

It is said that only the mother would know whose real father of the child is!so andrew has been told by the mother whose real dad is so that’s why he can say anything bad to mr banda he can even try to sleep with Thandiwe!because mr banda is not the real fathet of that ugly boy.look at his face he looks like a star trek do u think a handsome mr banda can ve such a wishful ugly child atase!

It understood, Andrew feels cheated in l ever since th father took a wife younger than him. Says the father should have consulted an taken a family referendum before he married Tandiwe coz there might have been conflict of interest.

This shows how leaders in upnd are childish, they can not be just watching andrew busy insulting his father and a public figure [ the person who has governed this country before for that matter ] no wonder they sold Zamtel,luanshya mine, Zambia Railways and many companies without having heart for the Zambian peaple. Zambian People are not raedy to change the government they have seen the massive development that the PF has embarked on ROADS, 650 HEALTH POST THROUGH OUT THE COUNTRY, RIDGES, SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS.

Becoz he is the one you want. You will be embarrassed.

I thought Andrew said MY FATHER, not any of you’s father. When RB came back to stand for MMD same you guys were insulting him as a fool who ‘plundered the country’ now he’s an asset to Lungu?

Nga nasanga umwaice aletuka ba wishi, I will just smile and pass, why? because its the same father who didnt discipline his own son in the first place, A disciplined child wouldnt insult his own father – so blame the father not the child.

Most people are actually disappointed with RB. PF has forced his son in exile, it has destroyed agriculture sector in RB`s region, PF has mistreated RB , and yet the man comes out and supports PF. Shocking!!! Understand Andrew`s frustration with his dad.

Andrew, you mean you can attack your father in public? What leadership is there to discuss on those insiting a fight between a son and his father??
Put family values before politics. The people using you will leave you like a toilet broom.
We will vote for Lungu because we love him and accept him. If HH loses this one, tell him the Zambians have rejected him and his leadership.
Politics have very little to do with qualifications. You called Sata as G7 yet he reduced your UPND From strongest opposition over 40% to 18% in the last elections. Wait for another big punch.

Andrew is one of Banda’s children that dented his father’s governance record. He has no moral right to castigate his father about his political preference. Why can’t he shut his trap? Is that his assignment on behalf of UPND to speak ill of his father. Or should we conclude that somehow he has become mentally retarded? I personally know RB as I do Andrew. He would do well to shut up and stop abusing his father.

Andrew is equally supporting HH for selfish reasons. RB is an adult who doesn’t need to be told what to do by Andrew and vice versa. In any case, RB is a more seasoned politician than Andrew. Having been President before RB knows better than Andrew as to what it takes to be in that office.
I am of the opinion that Unprincipled Politicians Never Deliver (UPND) the promised goods. Andrew is one such politician.
