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.
May be a facebooze page he can handle
Anyone not named HH is a a better candidate in 2021
Thanks
Edgar must check with Fred M’membe. He’s the enemy referred to here. M’membe wants to cause animosity in the PF, even Scott complained about this behaviour.
Lol, Edgar is scared shi*tless!
Viva Edgar, 2016 twanwa again! Chikalalila pa state house every weekend…..
kkkkkkkkkkk, leka fi fwaka iwe ala.
Anso bukalakula ku state house shd Edgar become president. Every weekend kukolwa….
Work of the enemy indeed. They must be the same chaps who created the “Garry Nkombo for UPND” president page. Desperation can make people do stupid things.
Mushota;HH is for 2016 or sooner not your 2021 hallucinations and Sedatives.Please stop taking those strong drugs we know you now to be a Drug-Pusher.Give me your number for counselling sessions immediately.
WHO IS FOR 2016…??? THE FREEMASON??
Edger open your eyes. The same people you celebrated with when Wynter got fired are the same ones who have now turned their guns on you now that you appear to be the favourite for the presidency.
People like Mushota amases me. Mukalakanga nelyo afwa palibufi nga afumapo? If you guys have high hopes in your fimofimo, you wait on your bitterness about HH. He is the next presidor. Chizakubaba my dear. I love MCS but not the bunch of thieve and crucks like abonaishiba.
Mulumele Basali ni Bana
Edgar Lungu would make a great president. He is the most Knowledgeable of the PF ministers.
“amases” Bembas lol!
Edgar would make a great President. I think President Sata recognised his Leadership qualities when he appointed him to all his roles. I don’t think he minds in the least about a challenge. He might even welcome it, if only to prove his Approval Rating in PF!
In the same way he recognized the qualities of Wynter Kabimba right?
@villifier. Leave Edgar lungu alone ! He is acting and he a the coolest dude. Chalupa a chabe. Go eat glass!
People who have nothing to do but live on speculation ,leave Edgar and PF alone. You are the same lot who accused Nkombo of seeking UPND presidency. Make a life. PF Viva.
