Inter-Africa Governance Network Welcomes Nkandu Luo’s Choice

Share

The Inter-Africa Governance Network ( AFRINET) has welcomed and commended President Edgar Lungu for his exceptional and consistent courage on the nomination of Prof. Nkandu Luo as his running mate in the fourth coming election on the 12th August, 2021.

AFRINET Executive Director Maurice Malambo says the nomination comes as President Lungu’s second endorsement of female’s abilities, a mark of his confidence in relation to the Office of Vice-president, the first having been the nomination of Mama Inonge M. Wina to the same office against the rife tide of patriarchal culture, also deeply entrenched in our politics.

“As AFRINET we have the confidence that Prof. Nkandu Luo has all professional and character qualifications equal to her new role in the party and government ahead,” he said.

Mr Malambo has since called on Prof Luo to meet the basis expectation of being a mother to all citizens, a mentor to the female folk, a bridge of hope to the under privileged and always exercise the ability to absorb both positive and malicious criticism against her superior, herself, government and the party.

He has further urged members of the Patriotic Front, opposition parties and the general citizenry to meet this consistent gesture and trajectory by President Dr. Edgar Lungu with the positivity it deserves on the path towards gender parity as a nation by supporting female contribution to development in all arena of life.

“We can only hope that other opposition political parties will add some positive energy in this regard by considering female running mates or male running mates who support gender equality,” said Mr Malambo.

  1. How can one be positive about such a decisive figure as Luo? She is supposed to be the mother of all Zambians in the case of Lungu’s demise (the Lord forbid) but it will be more like a fistfight!

  5. Clearly a blinkered organisation , Prof Luo has no good character- she is Bemba tribalist, corrupt and foul mouthed. If she was if good character she would have protested supporting the THIRD TERM. She goes around the country spouting tribal rankings.

    Better say what is in your mind, you want bloody money !

  6. LT gather any cartoons to praise your Luo, but my God can’t forgive that sinner of a woman.
    The other day she tried to pray, God tied her tongue.
    Luo will never enter heaven.
