Youths under the MMD Die Hard youth wing have observed that recent happenings in ruling PF are a confirmation that the ruling party suffers from a serious leadership deficit.
Die Hard National Youth Coordinator Bowman Lusambo says even though youths from his party do not ordinarily speak about internal affairs of other parties, they have been left with no choice but to issue a statement on the recent events in the ruling PF following the death of President Michael Sata.
Mr. Lusambo says youths of his party are commenting on the wrangles in the PF because as a party in government, the stakes are higher.
He says as a stakeholder in the administration of national affairs, they feel that the infighting in the ruling PF is unhealthy, a danger to national security and risk to investment.
Mr. Lusambo states that youths of his party now agree with sentiments by late President Sata that he was surrounded by a bunch of useless Ministers and Members of Parliament.
He says now that President Sata’s sentiments have been allegedly confirmed, youths of his party wish to give some free advice to the leadership of the ruling PF at this critical time.
The Die Hard National Youth Coordinator says it will be in the best interest of the ruling party to respect the wishes of late President Sata who appeared to have indirectly endorsed a particular individual in the last stages of his life.
He says youths of his party have taken note that when President Sata called for Defense and Justice Minister Edgar Lungu from Angola to come back to Zambia at the time when all PF MPs and Cabinet ministers were in the country.
Mr. Lusambo states that it is thus evident then that without Mr. Lungu, President Sata was not ready to leave the instruments of power with anyone else.
He notes that the question therefore remains that, why did President Sata insist on bringing back Mr. Lungu from Angola when all other Ministers were in the country.
