Opposition UPND Vice President Geofrey Mwamba has dismissed speculations that he has fallen off with leader Hakainde Hichilema.
Some online reports have claimed that Mr Mwamba is not in talking terms with Mr Hichilema and some senior party officials and that he is on his way back to the PF.
Speculations indicate that Mr Mwamba has been offered K50 million to rejoin the PF.
But during a joint news conference with Mr Hichilema, Mr Mwamba said the reports are untrue.
“There has not been any differences as peddled by enemies of the our party and progress,both within and outside. I am still enjoying a wonderful relationship with my brother President Hakainde Hichilema and our great party, the UPND,” Mr Mwamba said.
“The doomsayers should be ashamed for their mechanisations to promote disunity in our party, going to an extent of suggesting that I have been bribed by a party that lacks principles, decorum and common decency to governance and the people of this great nation,” he added.
He said he is a principled man and has no intentions of rejoining the PF.
“When I made that decision to support the ideals of HH and the UPND, I did it with all my conscience and faculties intact and nothing has changed and need I emphasise here, I cannot be bought by a bunch of crooks as I believe in earning my keep through hardwork and legal means and not handouts. I give, not take. I came into politics already succesful and so unlike others I am able to say I am incorruptible,” he said.
“For 6 to 8 years the PF have tried to break me financially but to no avail and soon and very soon they will be history,surely what sane person would blatantly aboard a sinking boat, when come next elections we will be forming Government, to emancipate our citizens from the suffering they are going through currently by this uncaring bunch of clueless thieving individuals.”
“So to all of you, I am VP of UPND and will remain so until the party decides otherwise,” he stated.
And Mr Hichilema has dispelled assertions that Mr Bwalya had resigned from his position.
The UPND leader also used the opportunity to call on party members across the country to remain united and focus on mobilisation and growing the party.
He said Zambians are looking up to us for social and economic development and we will not let them down.
“UPND remains an organised institution whose values include working for the people and not ourselves as leaders and as such we appeal to all party officials and members across the country to remain united,” Mr Hichilema said.
At the same briefing, Mr Hichilema stated that the Alliance which the party entered into does not in any way mean that it will replace any of the leaders but that it is a joint venture to check the PF on its evil schemes.
He said no UPND leader, MP, council chairperson, councillor and all party officials must feel displaced or sidelined.
“We are an independent institution. UPND is ready to run our country better than the PF led by Mr Edgar Lungu. As a party by the people for the people, for us it’s Zambia and Zambians first,” Mr Hichilema said.
A whole press conference to talk about this? No smoke without fire, nobody kicks a dead dog.
SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT HERE – THE BIG MAN DOESN’T LOOK ENERGETIC IN PHOTO NO. 2 above entitled “Double H and GBM during a news conference at the UPND secretariat on Thursday, April 4th 2019”
No no no no no! Double h, what have you done to the once thick necked GBVM? Has double h seen what I am seeing? I Smell a rat.
But anyways umweo wamuntu waba kuli chibinda.
I was wondering how and why GBVM could out of the blues develop a camera shy attitude. Camera phobia.
If my eyes are lying to me, I rest my case. Pretend I never said these words.
UPNDEAD, no chance, no wonder double h is now looking to thick necked CK.
GVBM, the last time I head what you saying now was when Carnisius Banda was under a sneaky bad a*s Dave Bautista like spear moves from double h. Or…
… a randy Orton RKO like double h maneuvers – The RKO is a move that can come out of nowhere. Good luck.
Yes no smoke without fire……lets wait and see
All these people in pictures surrounding HH…do they have meaningful jobs or they are just waiting for their turn to loot….they all look miserable and hungry
GBM knows he is just being used by HH to get a little bit of Bemba votes….plus it looks like age is catching up with GBM…he won’t fit in well with PF kaponyas….you cant be embraced as UPND if you are not Tonga (fact)
The chief tribalist is growing older. Bu under 5 bulepwa. But seeing how much he has borrowed for all his failed attempts to become president, it’s obvious should Zambians make the mistake of even making him a mayor he will sale the council to pay back what he is owing.
But HH has handled GBM better than PF. Even Sata could not stop him from battering his wife, beating a bus driver and all sorts. Under HH’ watch he has’nt done any those despicable things.
Even me I am still enjoying relationships with all my ex-girl friends.
GBV, we don’t need a rocket scientist to tell us that you are incompatible with trib.als, even though you are a trib.al yourself.
If GBV cannot be bought by PF, why do trib.als think that others can be bought that easily? Because you see, GBV needs that alleged K50m, as much as a party cadre or marketteer needs ka K200, if you see my analogy from the theory of relativity. But do trib.als know that science is the big question?
INE ULUSE…
Are seeing what I am seeing fellaz?
Double h has grown mwee.
Aoneka Nkote manje.
Lungu’s DUNUNA REVERSE propaganda machine should be ashamed of themselves for concocting an abortive lie.DUNUNA REVERSE! LUNGU IS DUNUNA REVERSE. Everything in Zambia is in the reverse gear! DUNUNA REVERSE!
But Lungu bena twachula. Insala
No news here!!GBM has no impact whatsoever on PF.UPND was beaten pants down by Mighty PF in 2016 with GBM as HH’s Veep.GBM’s UPND lost even in Kasama Central and the whole Northern and muchinga provinces!!!After 2016 general elections,GBM’s UPND has lost all by elections in bemba speaking areas.Even next week on 11/04/2019,GBM’s UPND shall lose in Roan and Bahati.SO WHO WHERE IS GBM’S POLITICAL IMPACT?ZERO!!
That aside,it is clear that HH has sidelined GBM and now prefares Kambwili.They say “seeing is believing”.GBM is nolonger active in UPND and it is clear that he is not happy with Kambwili’s closeness to HH!!This is the truth.Pretence wont take UPND anyway.GBM never campaigned in Sesheke,Kafue,now Roan and Bahati!!LIES HAVE NO LEGS!!
Now look at the unemployed old UPND vultures around Kainde….kkkkkkkk…..all those are broke niggas who only dream about taxpayer’s money if their tonga god HH is elected(God forbid)!!!Am sure now you see why UPND is so desperate for power.Those tribal creatures in pictures above have been suffering in opposition since 1998 when UPND was formed!!!They have wasted all the little ngwees they had from the sale of cows on Kainde’s failed campaigns since 2006.so if UPND wins,it can be looting time!!!EVEN GBM IS TOO BROKE AND VERY THIN NOW…kkkkkkk…..VOTING FOR THIS BROKE UPND COULD BE THE WASTE MISTAKE ZAMBIANS CAN EVER MAKE!!!HH already told the world last week that PF has destroyed our economy and it may take more than 50 yrs to fix it.Meaning,if HH won,he can only be blaming PF…
@10 Njimbu
I agree with you 100%….those hungry vultures surrounding HH are just waiting to get their filthy hands on the Zambian taxpayers money…..but it will never happen….they will die in opposition….why cant they get meaningful jobs like everyone else….
useless gbm and hh
hh and gbm give poor salaries to their workers
gbm just die mwana too much slimming maybe u are tongokizo like ck mbwili
I remember telling a friend that HH made a huge if not a gigantic mistake appointing GBM as his running mate. The appointment of GBM as HH’s running mate did more damage to UPND than good, The massage HH sent by appointing GBM was that HH can pick any one regardless of their mental capacity and leadership capabilities as long as they push HH in office. The only way HH can win is by putting the country first not himself at all cost, I hate PF but I doubt if HH will win in 2021 with his strategy. They say the battle is won during preparation and not the actual day.
at least double h is only selfish and full of tribalism not gb-m who looks like tongoka tongoka as if he doesn’ have money.
truly hh is very selfish why can’t he give money to gbm so that he revamp his collapsing milling company? he only wants to use gbm and dump him later like a used condom. doesn’t hh know that gbm is sliming because of being broke and other reasons? hh sure if you can’t help your own vice president whatmore your caders “you selfish tonga man”. hh takes selfishines as enconome so he is a selfish enconomesty.
gbm has lost weight because of insulting too much , even a baby that cries too much loses weight.
At one point in time you said you would not leave PF.Where are you now?
Mr BWALYA PF CANNOT,will not ASK YOU to join them.This can be a GRAVE MISTAKE the PF party cannot do.Moreover,you are a failed-politician due to time.We understand that you were once a political firestorm but not anymore.
Ati “when we form government in 2021”? who has been lying to the master loser kanshi? Does HH know PF and its mighty, the work it is doing for mother Zambia and you say when we form government, where? Mwalipwa ba UPND, you are the late! Just look at the photo with old tribal men and ka old violet Banda from old UNIP, who can vote or rather allow such hungry and angry hynaes to the highest office, you are playing hey? President Lungu and the PF are mean business and dont make no mistake. You can fabricate all the lies against PF under the sun, but the truth remains, even with 60%+1, you are destined to lose. In that so called press conference, HH was defending the formation of the Alliance, and what can to our minds is this, so this Alliance thing was not discussed prior but one man’s…
GBM is no longer in the limelight due to sickness not because he’s parted company with HH.
President Lungu was told off at state house from Botswana’s president for not paying Zambia’s share over Kazungula Bridge Agreement. Hence, Botswana’s stay in Zambia was so short (less than 4 hrs) for any head of state to visit another country.
Can someone please tell Wynter Kabimba that he is not a factor in politics. UPND has enough lawyers there brilliant lawyers like Keith Mweemba so Idon’t think UPND would want him as an advocate. He thinks we have forgotten that he brought Panga in Zambia during his reign. LET HIM JUST CONCENTRATE ON HIS CAREER OTHERWISE HIS A NONENTITY
WE ALL KNOW THAT PF CADRES WHO ARE STRONGLY DENOUNCING UPND IS THAT YOU QUIET KNOW THAT ONLY UPND IS CLOSER TO PLOT ONE AND VERY SOON ICIMWELA IDAI WILL SWEEP PF SOON LIKE NO MAN’S BUSINESS. ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CLEVER WILL SINK WITH THEIR TAITANIC IN THE OCEAN.
CONTINUE INSULTS AND THIS TIME PF HAS LOST CREDIBLE MEN AND WOMEN WHO CAMPAIGNED FOR LUNGU. VERY SOON PF BOAT MWALABA NI MUCHIBOLYA MWALI BA TATA LELO MWALILA AKONI.
Who’s insulting who?
GBM is a spent force.. HH knows it and its a matter of time before he offload this dead weight..GBM knows his time in Up and Down running out and fast…
HH is looking to sleep with CK mafuta mafuta… HH like them big…Batila pa insaka tapabula cipuba we have a few in bemba land for HH to abuse…
Hm, yalikosa mu opposition!!!!! These fellas look seriously disjointed to the core!! That’s why i hate politics. Fyabupubafye!
