MMD Youths in Lusaka have castigated opposition UPND president for his continued attacks on former Republican President Rupiah Banda.

In a statement issued by the MMD media team Prince Ndoyi who is a youth in the party said the youths in the Party are shocked and disappointed that a person aspiring to lead the nation has continued to orchestrate insults against the man who occupied the very office he wishes to occupy.

He said Mr Hichilema should be contributing to rebuilding the nation after the divisions of the last general elections as opposed to issuing derogatory statements against the former Head Of State thereby opening more wounds.

He said it is such behavior by leaders that continues to make young people fight as powerful individuals continue to incite their followers while others try to defend their leaders.

He said the UPND leader should know that the MMD is aware of the fact that prior to the 2015 elections him and his UPND were lobbying for the endorsement of the former president and that his vengeful behavior was bad for the country.

“HH is bitter with the loss of 11th August and that’s why he can’t come to terms with reality that the MMD under the leadership of Hon. Felix Mutati and Mr Rupiah Banda’s endorsements were the most valuable and priceless endorsement any politician worth his sort was supposed to fight for. HH and his UPND must not blame individuals like Mr Rupiah Banda for their loss, it’s neither RB nor MMD that blocked HH from entering State House but it’s ultimately the Zambian people,” he said.

Mr Ndoyi further said Mr Hichilema appears not to know who to attack or surround himself with for him to convince Zambians that he is the right person to occupy plot 1.

“HH appears not to know who to attack and who not to attack, its no wonder he loses elections, it’s quite surprising that even after losing twice against President Edgar LUNGU who was heavily endorsed by the same person he despises, he does not realise the many people he injures when he attacks Mr Rupiah Banda and his family. Let him remove his hate and bitterness and begin to respect those that have served in the office he aspires to occupy.

“It beats logic that HH expects to win elections when he continues to insult the same people that possess and carry a winning image and brand. Mr Rupiah Banda is totally no match for HH and it’s the more reason he must concentrate on his peers.

“HH and his party are still learning politics and it’s no wonder they can’t differentiate between politicians who can win them elections, rather those who only want to use them against those who can add value, that’s why instead of striving to gain the support of the former Republican President he gathered and surrounded himself with a bunch of proven losers and betrayers who ditched their party PF that made them who they are today, the likes of Guy Scott, GBM, Miles Sampa, Obvious Mwaliteta etc. He gathered valueless politicians and celebrated their endorsements without critically seeing what value he could gain for his political campaigns,” he said.

He also said Mr Hichilema was injuring the country’s international relations with his continued wild outbursts.

“Zambia enjoys sound relations with other nations and he must appreciate this rich history and our unique position on the globe and continent, because he will not lead Zambia in isolation if he became President. He must embrace wisdom by staying and acting carefully because in less than a fortnight he has issued two degrading and careless statements about countries that enjoy unique mutually cordial relations with our country. We don’t see how HH and his UPND will stand to benefit if and as at when our country develops hostile relationships with the Democratic Republic of Congo and Morocco, instead he should know that he will stand to blame if his utterances plunge us into chaos. HH must coordinate his actions and behavior both locally or internationally.”

    • Some arguments are really boring.Do we still have MMD in existence?I don’t think so.Keep it up HH.One day you will rule Zambia.

    • You know, HH and his MPs have a serious problem.

      HH and his MPs do not understand issues.

      Parliament is made of of the President and the National Assembly.
      The National Assembly is made up of elected and nominated members.

      Now, you cannot serve as MP minus recognising the President. Because which parliament are you a member of?

      The speakers is appointed and sworn in by the president, and as MP by taking an oath before the speaker and the parliament, you are acknowledging the authority of both the speaker and the president as appointing authority, and as a component of Parliament.

      Even lawyers for UPND have no understanding apart from presenting preliminaries, and failing on each of the same preliminaries. So even their advice is not worth any salt, not even fake salt.

    • And when they boycotted the opening of parliament by the president they said they dont recognise him as president.

      But when parliament was opened they starting sitting and deliberating, showing they acknowledge that the parliament was opened, something that can only be done by the president.

      You seem, I give these MPs a benefit of doubt, that they do think before acting.

      You see, later they went and apologised for boycotting, meaning they understood they were wrong.

      Now by boycotting again implies they did not understand they were wrong, meaning they acted without thinking. This contradicts with my view of them, because I have always believed they are not robots.

      The UPND MPs seem to have resigned all manner of thinking to HH.

    • Mumbi once said HH was being disingeneous. I think he should have just said HH, the UPND leadership as well as their layers and advisors are disingeneous.

  1. Yes his powerful makes him loose elections because of that he is chubumushololwa, mushebwa uwailenamafi kubuko.

  2. U Uwawa tabula ica kubepesha ..that’s HH for you. Next he’ll be accusing GBM over some invisible thing.

    • @4 Yes uwawa tabula kabepesho,it is like zambia vs Ivorycoast when Drogba missed a penauty and blamed it on the rough penault spot.Ala teti basumine losing an election they thought was a walkover chaliba kalipa ni chikonko mwikate at work.

  3. etch etch is a pain in the backside mwe…bitter human. with all that wealth one would think he would just let it slide.

  4. It’d a shame really to these under 5. Even ndoyi a baby of yesterday can see immaturity in upnd zealots. If you retards won’t change the way of doing politics you will remain in opposition till the kingdom comes. Grow up and see things from a mature point of view. A party full of cretins, one is crying for petition the other for election lose. Yarks

  6. This guy is a hired gun to shot at HH, it seems that whenever Kainde talks PF and the invisible MMD spend sleepless nights in trying to counter HH’s statements. How can you have a president serving as a minister of finance under the govt of a different political party? This is total confusion……………… i think there is no MMD

  7. PF, UPND and the defunct MMD could be out doing each other but all three lack capacity. We removed MMD due to poor performance,UPND has gone down after Mazoka’s demise, with PF the dismal failure is all over the wall. So what are all three of you talking about, the best PF,UPND and MMD can do is to SHUT UP. However, the sad thing, we don’t have any alternatives. Poverty in villages is alarming and Kopulande is right, we must declare it an emergence if we have any feelings for the people.

  8. HH won 2016 elections hence he has nothing to prove. RB lost the 2011 elections but was clever enough to jump on a desperate Lungu. He can never be president again therefore he should just enjoy his stolen money in silence. People rejected RB and it remains like that.

  9. But the disappointing one is PF, the way they promised when they were in the opposition, you would think it was going to be heaven on earth. Even giving a time line of 90 days. Coming in power, totally flat battery. Totally! TOTAL FAILURE, Go to villages and see what I am talking about. In the Compounds, a K10 is diamond now.

  10. These MMD Youth and Mercenaries in the Illegitimate Lungu PF Govt are dead scared of the UPND Presidential Petition being heard. They know that their marriage of convenience between MMD and PF will come to an end. Lungu and RB are scared stiff of the Petition and thats why they are blocking the Hearing. Becoz RB’s criminal record he badly needs Lungu to remain in power and protect his stolen wealth and thru corrupt deals and make more money. Lungu Ayopa Chani? #Let the Petition be heard.

  11. Cheta ni cheta…!!!! hh no cheta. Is useless and an imbasshol,witch and horror. I don’t blame u ka hh.

  12. Rupiah Banda is worthy to be insulted because he is the one who influenced Edgar lungu not to concede defeat to H.H.. But days are numbered for these two useless leaders. Rupiah Banda did a lot of harm to this nation he stole public funds and the late president Sata had wanted this guy to face the wrath of the law but because of death all the effort to recover public funds went with the late president in the grave. And unfortunately a useless and most corrupt president in the name of Edgar lungu became president and restored immunity to Rupiah Banda. Shame! But H.H. is focused regardless of time when he becomes president he will investigate them and prosecute Lungu and Rupiah. Stupid government!

  13. A rabid dog is a dangerous one because it bites all and sundry. A dictator attacks anything he is bitter with if ECL has aligned himself with RB and the won an election what’s that got to do with us? Adolf is in court day in day for a matter he knows he will never win because of the ‘opportunity’ he saw when he and fat albert thought they could play lawyer. What is happening on the ground is amazing. This afternoon we visited our member Mr. Chizu who is in eastern province he wonders where the leadership is…..2021 we shall have refreshed party with energy and new look no dictators

  14. Peace for zambia just a correction..the speaker is not appointed by the president he is elected by the members of parliament. The president just submits a name of his preferred candidate.

    • Who told you?

      Where do they find him, because he is not even a parliamentarian.

      I know that you are talking from ignorance.

      Now, let me educate yoi. The chief chief justice, the chair of ECZ, the speaker, the DPP, etc are appointmented by the president but ratified by parliament.

      I thought you knew that!!!!

      Awe shuwa.

  15. Clearly Lungu is in a panic mood. Why is he talking of 2021 Elections when the 2016 Presidential Petition is still in Court? Lungu is confused and doesn’t know what to do. Lungu had hoped that International and Regional Bodies would recognize him without hearing the Petition. This has failed. These Bodies have told Lungu that they recognize that the Petition for 2016 Election is still in Court and they want the Petition to be heard as a matter of urgency. Lungu is fighting to avoid the Petition being heard in any Court including ICJ. Hence he has tried to use Parliament to “kill” the Petition but that too has failed. Lungu is scared that the Petition could be taken to ICJ. If that happens Lungu is in trouble becoz the odds are against him. Lungu has committed numerous blunders and…

  16. Banda is destroying Zambia. He is a most useless President Zambian have ever had. That’s why he was only in power for three years. He is known for corruption with his late friend Frederic. He is behind all what is happening in Pf making it unpopular too. Those who support PF are those benefiting otherwise we are going nowhere but backwards. It is a shame Easterners are not good leaders.

    • What were Zambia’s reserves when RB left office? You people in UPND claim not to be tribalist but you come here and make a sweeping statement about easterners not being good leaders but when the next election comes you want the same easterners to vote for you? Dont forget that the population of EP is roughly the same with that of SP with many more easterners living in urban areas. Why did UPND vote against the lifting of RB’s immunity if he was such a bad leader?

  17. HH and his blind followers do not listen to any advice,hence losing elections for a record 5th time!!in 2021 it will be his 6th loss then in 2026 hh’s 7th but still he will be dreaming of winning in 2031-thats Kainde for you Zambians!!HH IS A KNOWN LOSER WHO IS UNVOTABLE IN 6.5 PROVINCES!!!!

  18. Comment:Chainama Hospital is saying loosing elections can cause problems to the loser and the Hospital is ready to assist all those with this brain damaging disease. It is not a bide idea to advise some of our friends to vist this Hospital for their wellbeing.

  19. Lungu, hear the petition if you are as genuine as you preach. All this nonsense will stop. Do not set precedent of mediocrity and sing democracy songs. Why are you doing everything possible to stop this and what’s the story with Luo and Mwanakwate what ever her name is plus Dora and your boy Kaizer. Scandal after scandal then you preach democracy. Come off it iwe. Ni chani?

  20. Rupiah is a first hand criminal. .. Period . I don’t know what the heck he is still roaming around for …. Go back to your farm and look after your goats .

  21. I personally had great respect for RB untill he started showing his other side. we have two types of respect, natural respect which comes as a result of age and respect that one earns by the way they conduct themselves. I shall always uphold the first line of respect for everyone but the second, am afraid people need to earn it and never lose it. I wonder why MMD youths would call HH names when in fact it was Andrew Banda who started. Remember the “Ikakunyokole Njala saga?”

  22. Now think of it what is HH and his minions gaining by insulting RB? RB is no longer in politics instead of being in good books with RB he is insulting him, RB was a president once and has a lot of followers who still love him same goes with KK, MC, Mwanawasa even Chiluba so an upright person wouldn’t dare insult these people by doing so it is a minus in votes. So UPNDonkeys and your boss think twice before you say anything about these people.
