Church advises HH to continue uniting the country

SDA North Zambia Union Conference President, Tommy Namitondo has advised President Hakainde Hichilema not to avenge the ill treatment he faced whilst in opposition.

As lead opposition leader, Mr. Hichilema was at a number of instances attacked and humiliated by his political opponents on unfounded offences some of whom pledged to send him to jail for espionage after the now past 11 August 2021 general elections.

On this score, Dr. Namitondo advises the Head of State to continue with his spirit of uniting the country by ensuring he embraces everyone regardless of what they made him go through.

He says the church would not want to hear that any opposition leader or member is being blocked from congregating as his case was when in opposition.

The SDA North Zambia Union Conference President said this at Solwezi Central Seventh Day Adventist church today during the church service attended by President Hakainde Hichilema.

” We have not heard so far, and we would not want to hear that your colleagues are being blocked from going to church like your case was.

” The church is happy with the progress and peace that the country has enjoyed so far since President Hichilema took over the reigns of power.

” We are thankful for the progress that we have recorded so far and also the peace, at least now we can go to the market freely,” Dr. Namitondo said.

And President Hichilema appealed to the church to continue praying for the government as it works towards reconstructing the country’s economy.

Mr. Hichilema says the church should continue with its role of uniting the nation and giving counsel to the government as partners in development.

” We ask for your continued prayers as we work to reconstruct our economy,” Mr. Hichilema said.

Meanwhile, Dr. Namitondo encouraged Mr. Hichilema to concentrate on developing the nation and not be shaken by those speaking ill of his leadership.

He says leaders get bashed by negativity, but that should not weigh them down and make them deliver development selectively.

” We are aware every leader gets bashed by those with their own perception, but you should not be weighed down. Concentrate on doing what you are doing, Dr. Namitondo said.

  1. If you compare with were we are coming from, under the evil brutal PF gang, UPND has done very well to unite this country. Us citizens can see and appreciate but we can also see that the PF is not happy with this unity and they are still working hard to divide this nation. Even when there supporters post here, all they talk about is devision language

    • You minion get a life, we are already tired with these bantustan tribalists. You call PF evil when your leader is a proven free mason (satanist).

  2. Hakainde is not the right man to unite the country ba cause he is the chief divider. What he has done, however is to refuce the hooliganism under the PF rule. He has to show more than that. His cadres are still causing problems. But he must show what he will do to develop the economy. The absence of cadres does not bring food on the table. Just as he used to tell PF the people will not eat roads.

  3. ” We are aware every leader gets bashed by those with their own perception, but you should not be weighed down. Concentrate on doing what you are doing, Dr. Namitondo said.”LT

    What good advice to be reminded about mandate; the authority to carry out a policy or course of action, regarded as given by the electorate to a candidate or party that is victorious in an election.

  5. His formula for unity is to suppress all dissent so that we sing his praises in unison. Dare utter anything against him and Kajoba will smoke you out

  6. PF attempted to build four public universities in just two provimces,vis:Kapasa Makasa,FTJ,Paul Mushindo and Ntumpa universitiesNot even their trusted cousins in the east were spaired one.If this was not dumb lasted and shameless regionalism,then the devil shall repent.
    PF must not be forgiven.PF must be disbanded
