Edgar Lungu fists before a crowd
Patriotic Front President Edgar Lungu has asked for forgiveness from the people of Northern Province for keeping them waiting for three days before addressing scheduled rallies in the province, saying he went to source for funds.
And business came to a standstill in Mpulungu District today after the PF President’s convoy was leaving Mpulungu after a successful rally at Muzabwela Grounds as people tried to catch a glimpse of the PF President.
Addressing a mammoth rally in Mpulungu District this afternoon, Mr. Lungu said he cannot use government resources for his campaigns because it is against the laws of the land.
He said this is the reason why he had to leave the country to source for campaign funds.
Mr. Lungu urged the people of Northern Province to be weary of people using money and endorsing the opposition Leader Hakainde Hichilema saying they lack direction.
He says he is aware that there is one person within the province
who wants to buy people using money because he wants to campaign for the opposition..
the PF President says having money is nothing stating that wisdom is key to looking after people.
Speaking at the same rally, Northern Province Minister Freedom Sikazwe apologized for keeping the people for three days before the rally could be held.
Mr. Sikazwe, who is also Mpulungu Member of Parliament, says the PF government has done tremendous work in the area in the last three years and that the only remaining challenge is provision of safer drinking water.
People had started gathering at Muzabwela Grounds as early as 11hours when the rally was scheduled to start at 16:00 hours.
