This is biting the loser really hard! Go Lungu go! We told them but they thought we were joking! Continue to watch this space! Phase II – UPND disintegration except for the Tanga faithful!
Is this man aware of the irregularities committed by ECZ and PF in this election? If he is and he still says this, Malawi has a retard for President!
Zambians should expect more of these baseless congratulatory messages from these African looters and criminals called Presidents. That is how they preserve their criminal groupings against their innocent and gullible citizens!
