Edith Nawakwi
Speaking when she addressed FDD supporters in Chipangali Constituency in Chipata District today, the opposition leader said there is only one Zambia with one people and that tribal talk should not be entertained.
She says people should vote on the basis of what the leader is able to deliver and not tribe.
The FDD leader states that if people continue promoting tribalism the country will not develop hence the need to ignore those urging people to vote for fellow tribes men using the “wako ni wako” slogan.
She notes that as a woman and a mother it is easy for her to convince women and youths to vote for her based on her gender but that would be detrimental to the country.
The opposition leader has called on farmers in the country to stop supplying their agriculture produce to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) as that is not helping them.
And Robert Mbewe the Constituency Chairman said 2015 is a year for Ms. Nawakwi to be President of Zambia.
The FDD President is in Eastern Province for campaigns ahead of the 20th January 2015 polls.
This is according to brief made available to Qfm News by the FDD media team.
