MMD President Nevers Mumba has vowed to viciously fight back any dissent in the former ruling party.
Dr Mumba said enough is enough adding that he has tolerated a lot of opposition to his rule and that time has come to put an end to the situation.
He said the rebels in the MMD have worked hard to weaken its platform from the day he was elected into office.
Dr Mumba was speaking when he closed the first ever MMD National Policy Conference at NRDC in Lusaka.
The conference which attracted over 300 participants drawn from across the country ran for two days.
Dr Mumba said he has shown tolerance to his opponents within and outside the party without retaliation.
He said time has come for the MMD to heal and re-establish itself on the country’s political landscape.
‘I don’t care how powerful you are, i will fight you till the end. I don’t care how much of a Goliath you are, David faced the biggest Goliath and as long as we are on the right side of the law, the right side of the constitution and the right side of God, we shall win this fight,’ Dr Mumba declared.
Asked if there is any possible alliance between the MMD and the ruling PF, Dr Mumba said information regarding the cooperation between the two countries will be made public at an appropriate time.
He also charged that he will be the one to lead the MMD into any alliance with any political party.
Meanwhile, Former MMD National Secretary Muhabi Lungu has questioned the legality of the resolutions made at the first ever MMD National Policy Conference held in Lusaka.
Mr. Lungu says he does not think the Conference which attracted senior party officials from around the country has the authority to make decisions on behalf of the former ruling party.
He has told Qfm News that this is because important party National Executive Committee (NEC) members such as himself and the party National Chairperson whom he says is Mr. Kabinga Pande, were not present.
Mr. Lungu has also wondered how preparations for the party’s convention which party President Nevers Mumba alluded to have commenced when the NEC has not made such a call.
Nevers, you have nicely summarized your failure.
Instead to be visionary leader of the party, you have become clueless and despotic ruler.
is this dont kutina in action dr mumba
Bwana NM, you should have nipped the problem in the bud when it was fresh and when you could. It has now grown into a cancer and there is nothing you can do about it.
On the alliance question, you have given a clue that you are working on it and you are for it. You will be the junior party and you will be swallowed by the PF who will allow you to join then on their terms. Remember the aborted PF/UPND alliance; for you it will not abort by you will be consumed. That is the DNA of PF.
Bye bye MMD,….. bye, bye the mother of Zambian democracy,… not to be heard of again, thanks to your Nervous leadership.
Ba LT dont rush when writing you said “Dr Mumba said information regarding the cooperation between the two countries will be made public at an appropriate time.”
Which two countries are you referring to?
I hope you meant two parties.
But that is exactly what this political novice has been doing – “viciously take on anyone opposing his leadership..,” – ever since he took over the reigns of power in MMD. Time has proved him wrong. That is not the way to lead. As a result of Mumba’s style of leadership, the formerly illustrious MMD party, is now a shadow of its former self – merely an empty shell, if you please!
Ba Nevers don’t be nervous, just do what F… Bwalya did…dissolve MMD and join bamaluku!
This is what happens when you join politics for a living. Mumba is a classic case, how many Parties has this man, Mumba joined? Always looking for sources of livelihood..
God’s person will “fight viciously.” Mumba doesn’t seem to get into his head that he is not a leader. He is too much of “I will do it myself” type of person. MMD is not a church.
Mumba. I’m against your leadership and I want you to go. So what are you going to do about it?
father bwalya,pastor nevers mumba,apostle danny pule,bishop chomba,pastor cosmo mumba, eeeesh! Iam not being tribal here but why too many bembas leaving the pulpit for politics? Atabanji mu church amambala aba?
Post him to Colombia as Ambassador & put him on a mixture of drugs, he’ll be fine. Messed up MMD, by now RB would have been President, $ would be @ K5-, mealie-meal @ K45- and so on, but the selfishness & stupidity of one Pastor Nevers Mumba has put us in this mess. Get rid of him.
Which rb r u talkin abt? The man who ws overwhelmingly rejected in 2011? The God father of corruption?
@ chile1
They say that there is always first time.
Well, for a change, I do agree with you this time.
Not just that RB is godfather of corruption, but his insatiable greed has been decisive factor in putting PF in power in 2011 and maintaining PF grip on power last January.
But then, irrelevant of how much time Acting AG spends on protecting old thief in the Courts of Zambia, the time for reckoning is aproaching.
@ 4.1 Chile1
“…The man who was overwhelmingly rejected in 2011.” Was he, really? RB made his blunders prior to the 2011 elections. He deserved to lose. But was he “overwhelmingly rejected”? I am inclined to believe that you are over-stretching the facts here.
How is Nervous going to run MMD when he is appointed as a PF Ambassador abroad? By remote control? And how can he aspire to lead a merger with PF? He is planning for a capitulation to hand over MMD to PF! Why does he want to do that instead of leaving that to RB?
@Buck Teeth Lungu
Easy!
Remember Costa Concordia Cruise ship Captain?
With a regular steady income who would say NO? Only GBM…
Is he leading anything? I thought everyone had abandoned the party.
no comment….lol
Big mouth for nothing.
@ 8 concerned
And a big empty head too!
Hit like Nevers Mumba is just keeping up appearances coz he knows he’s got nothing to offer.
Who is still in mmd if I may ask and does mmd still exist?
Pastor Mumbwe???
Who would vote for this failure? Surely not the following:
Bishop Nwaka
Bishop Phiri
Bishop Imakando
Bishop Mambo
Bishop Chomba
Chief Chitmukulu
Mrs Mumba
Pastor Lubuto
Who wants to lead a dead party anyway. Sensationalism lol. Sit down Nervous before you hurt yourself.
Good leadership indeed but damage is great to recover
I keep saying and i want to retaliate that terms like alliances, accord, merger, defect, coalition etc are familiar in African politics. They serve as escape routes for ‘spent forces’ for political rejuvenation.
Who cares what you say about Nevers?What I know is that he is on the right track and MMD needs deep cleaning of some very bad apples within the party.Go for them my president and sort them out.We are behind you.
This is what happens when you join politics for a living. Mumba is a classic case, how many Parties has this man, Mumba joined? Always looking for sources of livelihood.
Nevers is good for nothing. He is a killer of parties, National Christian Coalition, Reform Party and now MMD. Over time Nevers has been proved to be clueless and very confused. For those of you who went school with him at HillCrest in Livingstone how was the guy and division did he get in form 5 or grade 12. How come he never went to Unza where the cream of Zambia went during his time?
I almost feel sorry for this “man of God”. He’s so delusional.
What a buffoon , after killing the party you found intact , you are even boasting as if MMD will ever come to life . You are a shame less pastor who thinks money is God . we know you love money like any thing . you will soon run away as soon as they dissolve parliament . that is the time the money you are using will come to an end . MPs will no longer donate money in you account . when mmd was busy organising the perty you were busy talking rubi– sh in your NCC party . just keep quiet you have done more harm to the party we suffered for just remin with your Hon Mbulamano
