Ruling Northern Province MMD vice Secretary Jairos Simunyola says time has come for Zambians to realise that the opposition in the country cannot offer better leadership to the MMD.
Mr. Simunyola said this in Kasama today when he received 32 opposition Patriotic Front (PF) members who defected from their party to joining the MMD.
He thanked the defectors for taking a bold decision to abandon the PF adding that the opposition parties in Northern Province would soon collapse due to poor leadership.
He urged MMD members to rally behind President Rupiah Banda’s administration as he has shown good leadership qualities in running the affairs of the country.
Mr. Simunyola further advised Zambians not to listen to lies and insults being peddled by the opposition but instead demanded for positive criticism from the political players.
And speaking on behalf of other defectors, Victor Kalwala said the PF members had decided to ditch the opposition party because it has lost direction in the political arena.
Mr. Kalwala accused the PF leadership of having concentrated on insults at the expense of providing constructive criticism to the government.
He explained that the PF-UPND pact was headed for collapse because its leaders were merely power hungry.
Mr. Kalwala charged that the MMD was the only political party which was founded on democratic principles, adding that the defectors would work hard to ensure that the ruling party wins the forthcoming Kasama Central by-election.
Meanwhile, MMD Kasama Central Constituency chairman Nathan Ilunga said the defection has come at the right time when the ruling party was re-organising its structures in readiness for the 2011 general elections.
Mr. Ilunga said the MMD’s immediate target was to capture the Kasama Central seat following the resignation of incumbent Member of Parliament Saviour Chishimba.
He urged MMD members to work hard and ensure that the ruling party strengthens its popularity in Kasama and Northern Province in general ahead of 2011 general elections.
ZANIS
political prostitutes but hey maybe this if just MMD caders trying to tell lies.
On “Mr. Simunyola said this in Kasama today when he received 32 opposition Patriotic Front (PF) members who defected from their party to joining the MMD“, how did he know that those characters were PF member for PF has no membership cards.
Therefore, characters masquerading as PF members will not cheat any of us who follow politics quite well.
Have a blessed day all.

Psalm 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
PF haz no cardz, how are the defecting memberz identified?
you are just misdirected and frustrated cadres
I am still waiting for the PF and UPND leaders to nail their colours to the mast and tell us what their views are. They are like a sulking little girl who doesn’t what you offer but doesn’t know what she wants. Winter Kabimab is an avowed left wing socialist who praises Chavez and Castro but Hichilema is an obvious right wing capitalist who danced on the graves of parastatals. What compact can these two have? Can two walk together unless they are agreed? The PF/UPND pact is a means to power but once they take power what shall they do? I shudder to imagine the results. Sata as President! Zambians are yet to see what abuse of power really is. Investors will be scared to invest. He is banking on Taiwan to help him, but wait and see.
By the way! The word ‘cadre’ is terribly misused and misapplied in Zambia. This word should be applied to the backbone members of a party who are diehard representatives and eager to recruit more members to their cause. Carrying a card is not being a cadre. Cadres are like the four pillars that hold up a superstructure. Cadres do not jump ship anyhow.
Sata has no ideas on how to better Zambia. The Taiwanese he is banking on are now on friendlier terms with the Chinese. Why get involved in other people’s squabbles?
pf should get cards
Zambia should do away with cadres,, they are turnishing the image of the country. Let Police and paramilitary maintain law and order in the whole country to avoid squabbles between political cadres.
THIS IS AN IS DANGEROUS. I REALLY THINK THOSE FOLLOWING HIM ARE HYPNOTISED WITH HIS LIES. HE IS NO PROPHET OR MAN OF GOD AS HE CLAIMS. YES HE WILL PRAY WITH YOU EVEN FAST FOR YOU BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SINCERITY, HELL NO!!!
HW WILL ENTICE YOU INTO A PROJECT, MAKE YOU SPEND ON HIM AND THAT PROJECT AND WHEN HE CAN NOT BRING IN HIS PART HE WILL TURN AROUND AND BACK STAB YOU TO THE WORLD ANDSAY BAD THINGS ABOUT YOU.
I HAVE NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE EVER SEEN SUCH HYPOCRISY. BUT YOU KNOW? I AM SO GLAD THAT JESUS IS ALIVE AND SURELY I WILL LIVE TO SEE THE DAY THIS MAN WILL REPENT TO GOD ALMIGHTY FOR THE MANY HEART BREAKS HE HAS CAUSED. TO EVEN THINK HE MARRIED A WOMAN 10 YRS HIS SENIOR WHOM HE STOLE FROM THE CONVENT.? YES SHE WAS A NUN AND THEN HE STILL SLEEPS AROUND BEHIND HER BACK?
